Copied from: Jennifer D. Mitchell We as grieving parents know that our grief is a lifelong process, a long and painful process... a process in which we try to take and keep some meaning from the loss and life without our children. After the death of a child (our child), we embark on a long, sad journey that can be very frightening and extremely lonely—a journey that never really ends. The hope and desire that healing will come eventually is an intense and persistent one for us as grieving parents. Grieving parents DO NOT get over the death of their child... We learn to wake up each day and live with the absence of them. Our child who died is considered a gift to us and our family, and then we are forced to give up that gift. Yet, as parents, we also strive to let our child’s life, no matter how short, be seen as a gift to others. We seek to find ways to continue to love, honor, and value the lives of our children, and to make the child’s presence known and felt in the lives of family and friends. We as Bereaved parents ( < horrible two words) often try to live our lives more fully and generously because of this painful experience. We have a deeper compassion and a painfully better understanding of how precious and beautiful and very short our human lives. #complicatedgrief Terri Williams Russell 10-16-1974 -- 03-20-2011
