My son was killed by a driver who pulled out in front of him while my son was riding his motorcycle. I had some beautiful muted fabrics that I cut out for a quilt during the week before his funeral. I have been working on that quilt for the past three years. I am now hand quilting it. I call it my Sanity Quilt. I feel it did save my sanity during that time. I don't care if I ever finish it. While working on it now, I can think of my son and don't always cry, maybe even laugh at a memory once in a while. Dealing with the loss of a child never gets better, you just learn how to handle it better and quilting helped me do that.
