Understanding..

I post these for the friends that don't understand my swings of emotion. I know they are out of control and ugly sometimes but there are also spots of sunlight. All I can ask for is patience.Grieving the loss of a child is a journey -- it's not something that can be reduced to following steps that are listed in a book and once you go through the steps the grieving stops. There is no timetable to follow and the way we grieve is different each day. Our emotions are all over the place -- some days totally out of control, other days a bit more manageable. The only "true for all" statement that can be made is losing a child is the worst pain anyone will ever feel. Other than that, this "journey of child loss" is an unknown journey with many unknown twists, turns, and valleys. God bless every parent and family traveling this frightening, lonely journey called child loss!
