Sharing about my Grief Journey
I decided to start a blog sharing my journal entries that I did in relational to a devotional titled "Grieving the loss of a loved one" by Kathe Wunnenberg which I found helpful for me.As many people know on the 30th of October 2000 my baby son William died during labour and I also nearly died and was very sick. I was 9 months pregnant at the time. Nothing could have prepared me for the pain that I have gone through since his death.
There have been so many tears, there has been screaming and then there has finally been remembering him with a smile. I think of William everyday and I miss him everyday.I thought that by sharing my journal entries it might be able to help others going through the loss of a child or help someone who is trying to support someone going through the loss of a child.
Entries are very honest and some very raw. I wrote most of them in the first year after losing William but have written some in later years as well.As I have learned you just don't get over the loss of a child, it is something that you go through but the grief journey carries on throughout your life.
