Every parent of loss has thought this a million times or more. “I just want my old life back. The one with my child in it.”

“Are you healed yet?”, they ask. “No. I’m still trying to figure out how to survive.”

Every parent of loss “needs” to hear their child’s name. To know their child is remembered brings so much comfort.

Everything feels so off-balance when a child dies. Nothing feels like it's in place, including ourselves. For a long time following the death of a child, a parent simply wanders thru the day with only one thought in their mind: "My child died, and I don't know what to do now."

When a child dies, there are so many abrupt changes that take place. This is a trauma like none other. That child is on the parent’s mind constantly. Children are “never” supposed to leave this earth before their parents! This is a brokenness like none other.

No matter how many years have passed, there are days when it still doesn’t feel real. I miss you so much that it hurts.

Every parent of loss does it. We wonder what life would be like if our child was still here. So much of life was wiped out when child loss took place.

Grief changes everything about us — even our looks.

Others are swift to say, “Move on. You don’t want to stay stuck in your grief.” What they don’t understand is now grief is our constant companion.

Somehow in the back of my mind I thought when my child died that life would treat me differently. I thought it would slow down -- give me a chance to digest the fact that my child died. I thought I would constantly be getting phone calls and visits from friends who were sharing in my pain. That stopped quite suddenly after the funeral. I thought I'd be treated more gentle -- have people more aware of my grieving heart. That surely didn't happen. Life went on without skipping a beat. And, I was left sitting in the ashes of my brokenness. Life goes on without skipping a beat even in the midst of life's most terrible crisis -- the loss of a child. If only -- if only life gave us a bit of time to grieve and process our loss instead of just shoving us right back into the chaotic messes of the world. If only life stopped for just a little bit to grieve with us when a child dies.

I wake up with no energy. Life feels so empty since my child died. I drag myself through the day feeling more tired as the minutes click on. Laughter is rare. I’m on edge all of the time. Little things irritate me. I want to be alone a lot of the time because people don’t seem to understand me. I have very little patience. I cry so much that that others are sick of being in my presence. I’m just plain tired. It’s been another day of feeling empty. Another day of being blue. Another day……just another hard day. (Description of a grieving mother.)

Empty is such a powerful word. It describes the feeling parents of child loss experience the moment they find out their child died. It’s as though an arrow was shot right thru the heart and everything inside began gushing out until there was nothing left. Empty. Hollow. Without meaning or purpose. Numb. No emotions except deep, ongoing sadness. Sure. The heart will begin to fill again in time. But a heart that has been emptied by the loss of a child never becomes completely full again.
