A mama's grief

In my heart broken fog of grief, I realize that I am not alone I have family, friends, God, my husband, and so many prayers to sustain me but it feels like the air is heavy, the tasks ahead of me are impossible and I am alone in the world BUT, I am not and I will put one foot in front of the other and take it an hour at a time until I can feel like I can live again My sweet boy is at peace, and I believe that and will fight anyone who says different but how does a mama live without her boy?

Dear Kathleen, today you moved me deeply. Each word is a testament to the strength it takes to carry on through heartbreak and suicide of your own child. Heartbreaking! Your honesty and courage shine through the fog, even in the heaviest moments, love and faith hold us up. Sending gentle comfort your way. Daniel
