For all parents who have experienced the death of a child. A place to keep memories of your child alive and to share through your journey of grief

Hi Connie, I copied and pasted it, then I typed it in big bold letters, printed it and then took it to staples to make it just about poster size and had them laminate it. It's going to be on my wall in my house for everyone to see. My daughter was upset when she saw it and didn't think I should hang it up....that's exactly why I'm displaying it!

It there a way to copy this from the site?

I love this too Ammy. People CAN'T understand this profoundest of grief unless they have experienced it. It is maddening when everyone thinks you should be adjusting. It just gets harder and harder for me. It's been 4 months and I just can't imagine this pain for the rest of my life but don't see how I can ever feel any other way.  And the crazy thing is I feel guilty sharing this lovely writing with those people because I don't want to make THEM feel bad, even though many may appreciate it. I don't know - it's all crazy.... Love and prayers to you all.

That was beautiful Ammy. This is so very difficult and yet you took a moment for the rest of us.

These words are so true, and some days I would like to scream them at some people.  The rest of the world will never understand what we are living unless it happens to them, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy (if I had one).  Some times I think I would like for them to have to live it for a week so they would wake up and realize that this loss never leaves us, but I know it won't happen so I try not to judge them or think about them as it only makes me more miserable.

I feel all your pain.  I understand the marriage problems as I have read that the loss of a child will either bring you closer or farther apart.  I am in limbo (so to speak) when it comes to my marriage.  I'm here and I'm not going anywhere for now.  It's just another part of my existence.  My husband is a great and loving man so I try hard to be here for him, but I really feel numb.  I know I have some anger towards him for some of the things he said about our son when he was alive, but I know he is suffering the loss now and maybe feels guilty.  I don't bring it up because the conversation may get out of control and I will say hateful things.  And we all know that once said, it can never be taken back.  We are already destroyed enough.

I'm not sure, but maybe mothers versus fathers grieve differently.  Your husband's actions may be a result of their grieving.  Just a thought I had.

I send blessings to each of you that it gets easier.  I think that is all we can hope for.

Completely understand Sophia.

I am a changed person since my oldest child died but the world & the people in it are the same. I see things differently than 'before', others do not. For people I know who know of my loss I wonder "what is wrong with them"!? I cannot/will not make the mistake of ever forgetting how short life is nor will I pretend that things which are not alright are! For people who do not know of my loss I too ask myself "what is wrong with them"? This thing called life is so taken for granted & mis-used. But alas I am guilty of this as well. People are such fools, myself included! On the other hand we (I) have done my 'best' with what I've had (emotionally & economically, etc). It's a shame our lives center so much around $$$, so cliche but it is the root of all evil. I'm just rambling on...typing my stream of consciousness. Grateful for this site & wishing all of you the best possible.
