Wearing a mask I picked up my son's ashes

49. I am so sorry

I have been a DU'er for many years, just never post. When I saw your post, it was like a kick in the gut. It took me back to when I picked up my son and I felt like I had to write to you. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have support. I want to suggest an article easily found online "The 5 Stages of Grief and Other Lies that Don't help Anyone." The woman who wrote that article, Megan Devine, also wrote a book "It's OK That You're Not OK". It was my bible for 2 years until I lent it to another grieving mother, now it's her bible. The loss of a child, no matter what the age, is such a dreadfully painful experience. It is like no other death in our lives. I know no words can express the pain you are going through, there is simply no comfort. I am thinking of you tonight.
