Four Years. Am I over it?

Of course, I'm not. Can a mom ever get over losing a child? After being small group leader for six sessions as a Child Loss leader for Grief Support, I clearly know, the answer is "No". I can get through it but never over it. I will always miss the unbelievable laugh, that sweet smile, those wonderful hugs, those thoughtful questions. No, I won't get over Laurie's death. I will get through it.

I lost my son 5 years ago....and NO we will never get over it, it has forever changed our lives.
But we learn to get up every day, we learn to live with it..although some days are harder than other...
I am right there with you Barb.

I attended a memorial service today of a 12 year old boy that committed suicide this week. I work with his father. They are Christians. Please pray for Travis' family in Cary, NC as they begin their sad journey ahead without him. Travis' birthday is on March 11th. Thank you for sharing your personal thoughts with us over the last 4 yesrs as you are a pillar of strength and a blessing to many...
