I Miss My Child

“You have to do it,” they say. “You have to learn how to tuck away your grief so you can function at work and as you go about your daily activities.” That reasoning might work for a brief time, but it will certainly not help you to navigate thru all of the emotional changes of child loss. You cannot hide grief in a closet. Eventually it knocks down that closet door and makes its presence known.

I’ll never forget that moment. Nor will I ever forget that horrible pain. It tore thru me and I knew that part of my heart left with my child. That’s how deep a momma’s love runs.

When child loss occurs there is an emptiness in a parent’s life that can’t be explained. The void is enormous. There is an empty echo resounding day and night reminding us constantly of this void. Our minds are forever linked to our child and there is nothing that can break this bond. Day and night our thoughts remain on our child.

Friends encourage us to "move on", "get busy", "start acting like your old self again" in an attempt to help parents of child loss. What they don't understand is the fact that the old me died the moment my child left this earth. That old me will never be back again.

"There can be tons of noise all around me, but my world still feels so empty. " Parents of child loss identify with that statement so much. Why? Because the one person who made their world busy, and happy, and full is no longer here. Child loss is such a lonely road to travel.
