One thing that a lot of people
That are not in the world of
Child Loss
Don’t understand is that
even though
We seem like we function
“normally” -
We are secretly dying inside.
We as child loss parents
Suffer with not only the
Repeated reminders of our child
That’s gone.
But some of us have other children.
Some of us have children that have endured,
Just as much as we have.
The silent struggle is beyond difficult.
Her silent grief
Is like a beautiful wind,
That spins and twirls.
That same wind comes and goes.
Her grief, like ours.
Never forgetting the bittersweet
Memories that she carries
deep in her pocket.
And when those grief trains come-
I brace myself and hang on tight.
Like today,
I held my daughter as she cried out,
“But why did he have to die?”
Because her grief matters.
Because she doesn’t just
“get better”
Because this is a lifelong loss.
Hang on mama.
Support is coming.
Help is on the way.
