Please don't berate yourself for living your life, a life in which you honour the memory of Katie every single day, both consciously and unconsciously.

For me it is often worse than her birth/death days (9 days apart) in September. My due date was Xmas Eve. Right. Yup. That is exactly what I want to be celebrating when I should be celebrating my own daughter. So many should have beens. I tend to go into serious survival & self-protective mode starting around the end of November each year. This is not fair! (((hugs))) for your daughter's 16th birthday. We'll be crossing that one next year.
