Even after 6 years the sound of his name lights my heart on fire. Nothing is better to a grieving mother than simply knowing her child is remembered. All day long Friday; on Braxton’s birthday, I was reminded of how many people my sweet boy has touched. I may not of replied to everyone but I sure hope each person that took the time to reach out to me knows how much it meant. This year took me by surprise, as it affected me more than I had planned for. I am so blessed to have so many people in my life that love me more than I feel I am worth.
A child’s death
forever changes a family
and those who love them.
The experience of grief is lifelong...
it does not go away
after a certain amount of time.
Yes, it softens
but always there is a place
in your heart and your soul
that yearns for that child.
