This is EXACTLY how it feels to lose a child. I buried two babies.
This is Bereaved Parents Month. John Maddox posted this powerful photo with the following quote, "We may look as if we carry on with our lives as before. We may even have times of joy and happiness. Everything may seem “normal”. But THIS,
“Emptiness” is how we all feel...all the time.” It takes a very long time to recover after you bury children.

and you don't EVER recover.
@MissKathleen Willie Nelson said it best.his new single is..." Its not something we get over,its just something we get through" He lost a son to suicide also..But the only thing thats true is.....WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BURY OUR CHILDREN.So sorry for your loss
@MissKathleen Children are supposed to outlive their Parents,somehow the process is reversed. Do you view approaching dates of their births with sadness and perhaps dread?
@Louise1920 I know you didnt ask me but....after 16 years,there are 3 days that I dread....in no particular order......... the anniversary of his passing....his birthday....my birthday....To this day,I get a call from my younger son and wait for the call from my oldest which I know won't come
@MissKathleen I have no idea how you get up in the morning and function at all.I mean I know you do it for your two children still with you.I cannot even to begin to comprehend the pain and constant uncertainty that you have lived through and will live with.My heart goes out to you and yours.peace,light and healing vibes from here
