I never share much about myself….
But, I feel as a grieving parent. I think it’s important to address the “elephant” in the room. These past 7 months, since losing my son..
I want you to know, that I see you, I hear you and I’m here for you!
Losing a child——is the kind of grief that changes everything. There’s no clean way through it. No timeline. No version of life that looks the same again.
And yet… some mothers and fathers still get up and keep going.
To the outside world, it might look like strength. Like resilience. Like they’re “handling it well.”
But what people don’t see is that they are carrying two lives at once.
One is the life where we show up—answers messages, train clients, run a business, keep commitments. They smile when they can. They pour into others. They do what needs to be done.
The other life is quiet, heavy, and constant. It’s the ache that never leaves. The moments where something reminds them of their child, and it hits all over again. The empty space that used to be filled with their voice, their presence, their future.
We’re not “moving on.” We are learning how to move with it.
Every task I complete takes more energy than it used to. Every bit of focus is hard-earned. Some days, just getting out of bed is the win.
One may look “put together.”
But make no mistake—there is a deep, ongoing battle behind that composure.
And still… they continue.
Not because they aren’t broken.
But because love—especially a mother’s love—doesn’t end. It transforms. It becomes the quiet force that helps me take the next step… and then the next.
If you’re speaking to someone like her, or about her, the most important thing to understand is this:
She doesn’t need to be fixed.
She doesn’t need to be rushed.
She doesn’t need to “get back to normal”
Thank you all for your continued patience and understanding. 🙏
