4 years in this grief journey..
I realised the toll it has taken on me..instead of feeling stronger ,I feel weaker.
Like my strength is slipping away
My baby boy was 7 and my beautiful daughter 14 when they were killed

Putting on a mask..you become so good at it.people say ‘you looking like you coping very well’..
If only they knew
Knew how your heart is in pieces for the rest of your life

In reply to Bethany Hutson. I agree. I believe the people that say it gets easier are saying that to help ease their guilt for living. It is always a balancing act. I told myself I never want it to get easier because it will feel as if I'm letting part of him go. I never want to do that. Feeling this grief is all I have left. Much love to you!

I absolutely, 100% agree. I lost my baby girl one year and ten days ago. Nothing gets easier, we just get better at living. We learn to let things like joy coexist with our devastation. The most common thing I hear is that it will get easier with time. It is as if the people that tell me that are trying desperately to believe it themselves. Like somehow it makes them feel better if they believe my pain will one day lessen. They can believe it if they need to, but as you said, it doesn’t get easier.

I’ve written a lot about the journey through terminal diagnosis for our daughter, losing her, and living with loss. http://allthepassionstrings.com/category/ayden-nicole/
