Project Grief | The Suarez Family: A Wedding to Remember

Project Grief | The Suarez Family: A Wedding to Remember

– link to the article: projectgrief.org/blog/123518/weddingtoremember

Thru this world of grief, I’ve met countless people who share this terrible pain of loss. Throughout my travels online, I came across a site titled Project Grief, and it caught my attention. I caught the author’s attention as well; her name is Danica Thurman. She endured loss at a very young age when her father suddenly passed away and found solace thru art. She has an incredible story; the link to Danica’s blog is above, as well as below.

Danica was working on a blog focused on weddings and grief. She came across my Instagram page @grieving_joes_life and saw my post about my daughter’s wedding and a picture of Joe’s Remembrance Table. She graciously reached out and asked permission to share Joe’s table and thoughts from the bride (my daughter Allie) and those who created such a beautiful Remembrance of our son. I was ecstatic and welcomed her invitation with open arms.

She posted the article today on her blog. I am overwhelmed with joy and can say today has been the most joyful moment in life. I don’t have too many of those anymore (except for our daughter’s wedding a couple of months ago). After experiencing the sudden loss of our only son, grief tends to cloud most days.

Thank you, Danica Thurman (Project Grief), for the most beautiful gift, helping me share the “Life of Joe” with the world. This article has given my soul much-needed nourishment. My ♥️heart can breathe a little better today, even if it’s for a brief moment. I’ll take it!

Published by Losing Joe - Finding My Way Thru Grief

My name is Elaine Suarez, I am a mother of 3 children; Joseph 27, Allie 25, Juliana 21. I’ve been married to the love of my life, Isadore, for 33 years. We’ve been blessed with three healthy and beautiful children. We raised our kids with unconditional love, joy for family, knowing our Catholic Faith, and the importance of working hard to achieve life goals. The five of us never left each others presence without saying, “I love you.” We are an extremely close family. On the morning of May 29, 2018, at approximately 11:00 am, I received a phone call from the coroner's office notifying me that our only son, Joseph Anthony Suarez, age 27, was deceased. And, just like that, in a matter of less than 2 seconds our life would never again be the same. Joseph (Joe) was only 27 and his life had come to an abrupt and devastating end. He is the eldest of three, our only son and only brother to our two daughters. This is my story of Losing Joe. Son, I love you to no end, Joseph Anthony Suarez. We will forever be a team my Jeh. ♥️i love u forever, your Meh.♥️
