We’ve written about it before (here and here) and it just never gets any easier or less triggering. Today we are staying away from the TV, radio and anyone really. If we knew a grounding technique that worked, we’d try it. For now, we’re immersing ourselves in our computer game, cooking and doing chores, anything to try and stay busy and afloat.
It’s 2012, it’s 2012, it’s 2012.
We are not there, we are here.
He is not here, they are not here.
Repeat.
Good thing to repeat. I am playing with the grandkids with salt dough to stay away. Take care.
Maybe you and Ben can make a new memory/tradition that will supercede the old triggers. That’s what I’ve tried to do for my girls. I’m sorry this is a hard day for you.

So sorry that today is a hard day.
Good mantra to repeat for sure. Also touching things and tasting things really works for me. Sometimes counting the stitches while I crochet is a good distraction as well. A couple idea’s for you even though I know the time has passed.
