Yesterday afternoon we ordered new carpet for the bedrooms.
Yesterday evening I walked by Rob’s room. Immediately I thought about how Dennis pulled Rob off of his bed, placed him on the floor and began CPR to try and save his life.
I was instantly consumed with grief, and now I am wondering whether I can put new carpet in Rob’s room. It is the last place Rob was before he was taken away from me.
Rob’s room remains exactly the same. Yes, I know he is no longer here. Yet, his room is a piece of him that remains for me. It brings me comfort to be with his things and in his space. It doesn’t matter that these are all material things, and I know that he lives within my heart.
This is grief….
