10 Months Without your smile.I found some new pictures of you today....

it was more than any treasure

Yes, we have changed

Speaking to other parents on loosing a child, I felt it necessary to repeat the grieving parent.

Bereaved parents need to know that others may minimize or misunderstand their grief. Many don't understand the power, depth, intensity, or duration of parental grief. In some instances, bereaved parents are even ignored because some individuals are not able to deal with the tragedy. They find the thought of a child's death too hard, too Inexplicable, or too threatening. Many simply don't know what to say or do and so they don't say or do anything.

Life is forever changed for the grieving parents, some people walk away from the tragedy, and although it hurts, you can not waste the energy it takes to understand why this happens. 
The grieving parents need to focus all their strength on God's grace and comfort. 
This is an impossible task without the much needed prayer and devotion to your faith.

We can not understand why this happened but we continue to trust even though the pain is overwhelming. We know that God has our loved one under his protection and somehow we must find that peace.

Grief is a tidal wave that over takes you,

smashes down upon you with unimaginable force,

sweeps you up into its darkness,

where you tumble and crash with unidentifiable surfaces,

only to be thrown out on an unknown beach,

bruised, reshaped.... 

grief will make a new person out of you, 

if it doesn't kill you in the making.
