Yes U Matter: From Grief to Healing & Suicide Prevention

Yes U Matter: From Grief to Healing & Suicide Prevention Created from a mother’s grief after losing her son, Corey. This page holds space for raw loss, quiet faith, and the long journey of healing.

You don’t have to explain your pain here.

Today something shifted in me.

I watched a video of Corey just to hear his voice. He was talking to his turtle, being sweet and completely himself. And for the first time, I smiled before the tears came.

In that moment, it felt like God gently lined the pieces up for me. The love, the memories, the faith I’ve been holding onto even when I wasn’t sure.

It just clicked.

I know Corey is in heaven.
And I know he’s with my mama.

That knowing didn’t take the pain away, but it brought peace into it. A quiet assurance that God is holding him and holding me too. Today felt like a small step of healing, and I’m grateful.

If you’re walking through grief and wondering how you’ll survive it, please hear this:
With God, you will get through this too. Healing doesn’t come all at once, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone—but the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and He will meet you right where you are.

So I haven’t posted in a bit. I almost have the courage to do lives lol. Grief affects every aspect of your life. I have had an emotional week this week and it had nothing to do with Corey. I have just struggled because losing Corey broke me and I’m not as strong as I used to be. I just cried tonight because I feel so overwhelmed easily sometimes. I can’t deal with things like I be able to use to. I’m thinking about having neck surgery coming up and because of how I am now I just panic at times and say I can’t.

Today was a good day, even with grief.

I’m grateful for the moments of peace God still places in the middle of the ache.
They don’t erase the loss, they help me keep going.

One day at a time

I just want to let yall know that there will be good days. Even though it feels like forever since we had one, when the waves of grief keep coming. I lost Corey 3 years ago and can’t count the number of med changes that I have had. I haven’t had any bad side effects luckily but some meds worked better than others. Over the past two days i have woke up ready to go and I even started to learn to crochet and use my cricut again. I have even cooked dinner,where it had been Len doing it mostly. If I am honest, there were days that I really thought there was no way that it would get better. Don’tgive up hope friends, just take it moment to moment if thats what you have to do at the time.

Some days the pain is loud.
Some days I just want to get away from it.

And some days… I realize how much it hurts that people don’t talk about Corey anymore.

So I’ve been thinking about starting something new.
A place where I can say his name.
Share who he was — not just how he died.
Talk about grief honestly, without fixing it or dressing it up.

I don’t know exactly what it will look like yet.
I just know Corey mattered.
And he still does. ❤️

If you’re walking through grief too, you’re not alone here. Anyone can share their grief or stories about a loved one here. That’s why I made this page.

That question—“Why did Corey have to go to heaven?”—is one of the deepest, most painful questions a mother can ask. And the hardest truth is… there isn’t an answer that will ever feel good enough.

Sometimes people say things like “God needed another angel” or “It was his time,” and i believe it was his time but it don’t always help my heart. A mother’s heart knows her child was supposed to be here—laughing, growing, living. Wanting him here is not a lack of faith. It’s love.

If I speak gently from a faith, many believe that heaven is not a punishment or a taking away, but a place of peace when someone’s pain here became too heavy to carry. Not because they were weak. Not because they weren’t loved enough. But because their hurting was deeper than what this world could heal. I know he couldn’t take the pain anymore

And from a human, grieving-mother perspective:
Corey didn’t leave because you weren’t enough.
He didn’t go because he wasn’t loved.
He went because something inside him was hurting, and that hurts you now.

It’s okay to be angry.
It’s okay to question God.
It’s okay to say “I don’t understand this, and I hate it.”
It’s okay to not be okay.

People don’t understand that when you lose a child, that thought is constantly with you whether you try not to think about it or not. Just like today, I have been sick most of the day and laying in the dark on the bed. I have thought about Corey all day.

Grief comes in waves and you can literally only deal with it minute to minute, not knowing what is gonna happen or when. Yesterday I woke up crying and had a bad day all day. I think I went to bed at 730 last night. Well today I woke up and was fine. I came home and made dinner for the first time in I don’t know how long. It was in the microwave and air fryer but you know what, that’s ok because you can only do what you can do, dealing with this grief because it’s exhausting the day after and even on the good days. So if all you did today was make it through the day, that’s ok. Try again tomorrow

So I said I was going to share the good and bad and I plan to eventually start going live, I have never done it lol. Well I woke up this morning crying because I asked Len why nobody talked about Corey and that they are going to forget about him. Grief lies to you just like depression, I know that he’s not going to be forgotten,it just feels that way because it’s in my mind every day while the world goes on. I know it’s from his bday coming up soon is why I am having more problems. I think this is therapeutic for me and I hope it helps others understand grief and know they aren’t alone.

Grief doesn’t always look like tears.
Sometimes it looks like showing up when your chest feels tight.
Sometimes it looks like silence.

I had a panic attack yesterday and still kept going, not because I’m strong, but because I’m a mom who lost her son and keeps breathing anyway.

Corey, I wish you were here.
And I will keep saying your name.
