PlumCrazy :

Thank you. As a grieving mom I appreciate this post because now I can say I have a goal to not be worse than I am today. Because Ive been really really bad and Im not okay yet.

Lori Camacho :

All we can do is try to make today better than yesterday so sorry for your loss. Your son was a beautiful child. Thank you for sharing your story and helping people!

SamIAm :

Not worse is a great goal.

..delight_ :

I’m so sorry for your loss 😢

sunshineriehl657 :

I had someone recently ask me if I was healing and I told her I don’t think I will ever heal from the loss of my son. When I shared this conversation with my husband he acted surprised by my response. I feel you. I will strive for “not worse”.

user770060209368 :

Agree, I will never feel better. And I don’t understand why people ask this question. Because I can show up and smile and do my job? That’s me faking it to get through the day. My heart is shattered and always will be. I’m so sorry you lost your son🩷

Felicia Allred :

I hate when people ask me that!! No I will never be "better"!! I like this though "not worse". I will try this 💜🌹

Christina :

Hes ALIVE and THRIVING in HEAVEN! You're his Momma forever & me to mine too, we just have to wait a little while to see our boys again. Im so excited for that. We just gotta keep going for our other sons & get there.💙

jacintapeake :

I am going to use "not worse." Never better but striving for not worse.

mydogsmom18 :

Someone asked me once if I was over it

✨️Ashley Hill-Martin 💫 :

Same. My son was 17 and it's been 4 years. The pain doesn't go away you just get used to living in pain. Inside my body I feel like my soul it screaming for him still. Waiting for him to walk through the door like it was some cruel prank.

Nan :

My heart breaks for you

roseannthomas2 :

God bless you

Slightly Biased Quilts :

Same.

ChrisTine Rottler :

this is the hardest thing a human being can experience. you are so brave!

Jude :

I don't know what to say to you. I want to tell you how bad I felt in my stomach for hearing about your loss. I want to say that I am sorry for your pain

drscottpaton6 :

Agree

Katie’s Roar :

There is no “better”…we are coming up on 8 yrs from when we lost our 20 yr old daughter tragically to mental health issues…some days it’s worse - some days it’s tolerable and some days I just need to literally pretend I’m ok so those around me aren’t uncomfortable- praying for you!!!

icedmatchalatte_______ :

How are you taking care of yourself?

Burdockmom :

Oh I so understand this!! I say I am ok for the ok I am in! It took us 7 years to get to do a celebration of life for our Chance and it’s weird I can say I am more at peace than I was the month before but I still hurt. If you don’t know this pain it doesn’t make sense and I never wish this on anyone!

ChrisTine Rottler :

So many who comment here, experience the kiss of child. My derpedt condolences to all of you! I cannot imagine this amount of grief and pain and you go through day by day by day! I pray for you and your loved ones❣️
