Hurting for my family tonight after learning that my 6 year old cousin never woke up this morning. Completely unexpected. He was sick with strep but this wasn’t expected. I’m alright but allowing myself to feel whatever wants to come up. Found out a few hours ago. I’m alone with the kids just processing the emotions. Confusion, sadness, fear, helplessness, even a weird mixture of extreme guilt and gratitude that I still get to hold my kids close. Just wanting to connect with someone and not really knowing how or who so just came here where I know space is being held for me to just express what’s present. Thanks for listening.
Hey Wes. Wow! No one should have to bury their child. Just feel the feelings. Hold your kids close. I am glad you posted. I am holding space for you to express whatever you need to say. Something spoke to me to open this site. I am glad I did. I am hear to listen if you need that. Say whatever is on your mind. Just be in the moment. My prayers are with you. FYI – I too am a parent.
I appreciate you expressing and feeling safe enough to do that here. It’s so tough to hear when a child dies. I can understand that cross between guilt and gratitude. I’m glad to hear you are allowing yourself to feel the feelings. Here for you…
Sending lots of love to you and your family Wes
Thanks everyone.
