It's Mother's Day Again Today I write in honor of all moms who have lost their precious children. The Week of School Vacation is WretchedIt’s school vacation week again, a time of the school season I used to really love because I could just hang out with my daughters. But now I dread it. We Saw a MediumIt is a natural feeling to want to connect with your loved one after death. There is a need for reassurance that they are o.k. no matter what you may or may not believe. What Are The Odds?Now and again you might think “what if” something happened to my child but you quickly dismiss the thought because it is too painful and frightening to imagine; it strikes a nerve so deep that you avoid the subject at all costs. Having an Everyday ConversationOften I find myself apologizing for talking about my deceased daughter. I’m so conscious of the discomfort of others that I tend to say “I sorry” after I bring my personal heartache into a conversation. Masking Our GriefIn the early days after your child dies, it can be quite clear to the outside world what stage of grief you are in - shock, anger, etc. But as times passes, they see us functioning again, maybe even having a laugh. Do they think we're "over it"? We learn to hide our grief behind a mask.
