Grieving Mothers

Grieving the loss of a child is a process, it begins day your child passes and ends day the parent joins them.~BJKarrer

I forgot to read the fine print, when I signed up to be your mom. I thought it would be hugs and smiles and quite a lot of fun. I didn't see the bit that read of pain, loss, grief and despair. I didn't know that you'd be gone, and that life would be unfair. But I am still your mother, I will be every day. If I had read the fine print, I would have signed up anyway.-Karen Prisco

On this day, 45 years ago. I gave birth to my middle son, Jeremy Paul Karrer @6:23am. 8 Lbs. 5 ozs. 21 inches. It was one of the happiest days of my life. On Jan. 7, 1987. Our beloved son died at the age of 6 after being hit by a car. It was one of the worst days in my life. No parent should ever have to live that nightmare.

When you feel like giving up, remember this: There’s a little human watching you. ❤️

They’re watching how you handle challenges, how you rise after falling, and how you keep going even when it’s tough.

They look up to you, not just for who you are, but for the strength you show.

You are their first hero, their first role model, their guiding light.

Every step you take forward, no matter how small, teaches them resilience.

Every dream you chase teaches them courage. And every moment you refuse to give up teaches them what it means to never settle.

You’re not just building your dreams, you’re shaping theirs too.

Keep going, not just for yourself, but for the little one who believes in you more than anyone else ever could.

They want to be just like you.

So show them what unstoppable looks like. 🤍🕊️🤍🕊️🤍

"If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died--you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died. What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that, is a great gift." ~Elizabeth Edwards~
