It has been over 10 years and I’ve learned that most people don’t ask questions. Most people assume that we bereaved parents heal our wounds by allowing time to simply pass. Yes this is true and no it’s also not true. Yes, time heals wounds and helps ease the pain of losing your child but time is also a cruel friend that breaks your heart as it passes. Even though time passes the pain never goes away. The pain gets easier but the hurt doesn’t stop. It simply hides deep inside like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. The roller coaster of emotions we endure is erratic and at times impossible to understand. All we can do is try to move forward and hope that the next days’ pain isn’t so sharp.
