Do you ever feel like this?

Losing a child
#1

Hello everyone Hope everyone is doing well. I have a question it’s been 15 months since my son passed away. At Christmas time my daughter came up from Florida with my grandkids and her husband and everything seemed to go smoothly. No one really talked about my son Theo and we just went along with the Christmas festivities. After they left though I’m feeling kind of sad and thinking about my son a lot. Sometimes lately it feels like the emotions from when it first happened. Do these feelings come up and hit you in the face sometimes? I have been crying alot lately is this normal?

Hi Racy123. It is entirely normal. My husband died 20 months ago and some days I feel ok but then other days the emotion of loss just slaps you in the face when you least expect it. I then have H on my mind constantly. I talk about him and bring him into conversations regularly. He is a part of my life and to me is very normal. Because we cannot see them does not mean they are not with us. They always will be. We love them. Sending hugs x

Thank you Nel and I hope you are getting along okay. I sometimes feel like everyone has forgotten about my Theo like he never existed and it makes me sad. Sometimes a lonely empty feeling hits me and it makes me miss him more. They say the second year is the hardest I am not sure if anyone else finds that to be true.

That’s just how I feel i miss my daughter more at Christmas and birthdays i don’t think the pain gets easier i just take time out for myself but it’s hard when the people around you don’t talk about the loss it sometimes makes you feel that you’re alone and i still cry a lot when im alone i think that if you’re thinking about them then they are always with you :broken_heart: not easy for everyone how’s lost a child its just good to hear that I’m not alone
