When my child died, a huge void was left right in the center of my heart. I’ve never felt life was a 100% since. And I know that it never will be. Child loss leaves an emptiness that cannot be filled.

Child loss is extra hard on holidays. I was doing a little holiday shopping and when I bought a wreath for my son’s memorial garden, I couldn’t stop the tears. My son should be here for the holidays and every day.

Every holiday the same words seem to scream to me. “You should be here! You weren’t supposed to leave.” And, then the tears fall. Holidays are especially hard for those of us who have lost a child.

Sometimes we, the parents of child loss, just need a special blessing to get us thru the day.

The hardest part about losing a child is living everyday afterwards.

The holidays seem to increase that huge hole in the heart left behind by child loss. When a child is missing everything suddenly feels empty.

“You look so good. It’s great to see you’ve moved on and healed.” To that I simply smile as I walk away. Healed? Moved on? How is that possible to do following the loss of a child?

"I still have my son’s number in my phone…💔 How I wish he could call me right now

The grief of child loss isn’t a one-time blast of raw sadness and then it’s over. The grief of losing a child is layers upon layers of emotional upheavals and pain mixed with large sprinkles of fear and anxiety. Emotions appear that we never knew we had. This is the rockiest, roughest journey anyone will ever take.

As bereaved parents we definitely go through periods of questioning why our child had to die. That's something that we know we'll never understand -- not in this earthly life. But this question will forever plague us. We don't understand the entire concept of human suffering. It takes a lot of strength to face each new day without our child. Maybe that's why a smile, a hug, or a prayer mean so much to every parent of loss. We appreciate kindness so much!

Child loss is so hard in so many different ways. Holidays without our child are especially painful. We have precious memories of times past. But, we also know our child is not here to make any new memories with us. Memories are so bittersweet.

Friends try to fix us. Our families try to fix us. Nobody likes to see us in pain. The problem is we cannot be "fixed." Losing a child involves much more than a one-time fix. This is a lifetime of re-learning how to function in a world that no longer feels safe, or kind, or good. We've lost a child -- the most precious gift we were ever given. And, we now have a heart that has been literally broken in two. What we need -- what we want desperately -- is simply to be accepted for who we are -- a grieving parent who needs acceptance and understanding.
