[COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#003366]The purpose of this blog is to immortalize my son because it is my responsibility to make sure people remember him. Unfortunately, when you die, life goes on and you are soon forgotten. It just happens. People forget. [/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#003366]Unless there is a parent or friend to remind people that you once existed, no one will remember. People don't mean to forget, but life happens and memories fade. It is up to us to keep their memories alive. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000080][COLOR=#009900][COLOR=#003366]I also have started this blog in the hope of helping others. Helping by being there for newly bereaved parents, heeding the call of suicide, and lending support to those experiencing a hard time in life at this moment. Taylor died young because his soul was fully developed, he had to die to pass on his message of hope and love. His death has taught us all many lessons and we hope to teach you what we have learned about when it comes to the afterlife.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]


[COLOR=#003366]No one understands unless they have personally experienced the loss of a child. It's like how no one can understand how much you can possibly love another human being until you actually have your own child. It's like that, only in reverse- because as wonderful as it is to experience the love of a child, experiencing the loss of one is even more profound.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#003366]Feel free to PM me as I am willing to help you through your grief. I've been there, I am there, and I can hold your hand and hold you up while you begin this bumpy ride. [/COLOR]

What is normal after your child dies - Part 2

Posted 09-09-2008 at 10:02 AM by londonbarcelona


[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is my heart warming and yet sinking at the sight of something special Taylor loved. Thinking how he would love it, but how he is not here to enjoy it.

Normal is having some people afraid to mention my son, Taylor.
Normal is making sure that others remember him.

Normal is after the funeral is over everyone else goes on with their lives, but we continue to grieve our loss forever.

Normal is weeks, months, and years after the initial shock, the grieving gets worse, not better.

Normal is not listening to people compare anything in their life to this loss, unless they too have lost a child. Nothing compares.
NOTHING.
Even if your child is in the remotest part of the earth away from you - it doesn't compare.

Losing a parent is horrible, but having to bury your own child is unnatural. [/COLOR]

    I read and reread this over and over again the other night and today. Redefining normal. So true, it just hits home for me. I am so very sorry for your loss. My daughter Sophia died 6 1/2 months ago in a tragic accident in our home. She was 4 years old. I haven't found how to pm you on this site or how to email you through this site. My email address is aksstylin@yahoo.com . Amanda
