Where Did Everyone Go?
When loss hits, our world changes. This includes our relationships. No one seems to understand. People disappear. We wonder, "Where did everyone go?"
I couldn’t fix you
I’ve become so damn exhausted, and I don’t know if it’s from not sleeping or if it’s because I miss you so bad, because before you left was the last full 8 of hours of rest that I had.
Now I stay up until the sun begins to rise, and until the birds start to chirp, because it’s hard to lie still with all of this hurt.
They don’t know
Don’t tell me that you know how I feel, because you don’t have the slightest clue, and you never had to watch your entire world die right in front of you.
Healing after Child Loss
Life, at least my life, isn’t about me fixing “me”. There are just some things that life throws our way that cannot be fixed, no matter how hard you try. Life, though, as painful as those unexpected things it tosses our way is about finding yourself. But for me, it's was finding myself in the present.
Substance Abuse and Grief
It’s difficult to describe the pain of losing a loved one. It may be one of the hardest experiences of your life, and the grief can linger for weeks. In the days and months following the loss, you might experience concentration difficulties, irritation, sleep problems, loneliness and bouts of extreme sadness.
