Why do I feel people have no idea

When people come over they seem to have
Attitude it is over I should be over it . Everyone does
Over it will never be over till I am with him . Most have
Quit coming around now . Or even acknowledging
We exist . Which is fine with me . Cause I can sit
Here all day and talk to his picture . He was the only
One that ever understood me anyway. But even
His best friend now which I looked at as one of mine
Don't come around or talk to me now . It has been 5 months
Do they think I am just gonna wake up an it be ok
I wish was that easy. Instead I wake up in tears most
Of time . And just stare at his picture . I still say he is
Coming home . He always came home .

It's because people really do have no idea. I say, ask them: what would they do; how would they feel if they lost their child?

No one truly knows what this is like until it happens to them. Even I cannot even imagine what this would be like, and I'm not scared to admit it! No wonder you are so hurt. :/ People should be more understanding..it's not fair. I pray that better people come into your life to help you.

Starr, I am very sorry for the loss of your son. And I know exactly how you feel. People have told me that I need to get over the death of my friend Tyler, or that I will eventually get over it. Everybody always tells me the same things: "They wouldn't want you to be sad," "They are in a better place now," "It will get easier with time," etc. I feel like I can't talk to anyone about how I feel, because nobody understands what I am going through.

I hope that you are doing okay. God bless.
