Dear friend, I am glad you could identify with that feeling of loss, not just the horrendous gaping hole losing a child leaves, but the loss of worry. Strange, isn’t it.
Yes three years on I am enjoying life. Our elder daughter Jemma has just been given the Prestige Award for the best independent art school in Scotland. Something she built from scratch, offering art lessons in a community centre after her
Degree in Fine Art Drawing and Painting. She couldn’t get an art related job anywhere so put flyers around the town and now she has an amazing art school. She does online classes too and has students from all over the world. Very proud indeed. She brings us joy and so does Brooke. Jemma is single 37 and would love to be a Mum but pours all her nurturing into Brooke who absolutely adores her.
Yes, I am living, not the way I expected to but enjoying my life now. Never imagined I would get to this stage though.
Sending love and comfort to you. You have been through so much but hope one day the sun will break through the clouds and you will feel alive again.
