Emptiness

There is no time limit to grieving. Have you ever heard the saying "in a child's time"? I always took that to mean when they are ready. I believe that it is the way our grieving is handled when we loose a child. No matter how our child leaves us or at what age, leaving is leaving. The emptiness can not be explained to anyone who has never felt it. It's truly unique to the individual experiencing it. The only advice I could offer to someone trying to comfort someone who has loss a child, is to hug them. No words can be expressed to heal the grieving parent and we really do understand that you can't relate to what we are going through and wouldn't want you to. When we are quiet, we are in thought and with our child. We must rest in the emptiness for awhile till it subsides in our time. Like our child's time.
