crying myself to sleep right now.. except sleep won't come.
last night when i said i was glad i could go to work and be miserable, blend in, and pretend it's not a holiday, one of the responses i got was not to pretend.. because comfort comes to those who mourn.
so i'll cry, i'll mourn, until i can finally sleep. last night i cried with another police family devastated by the loss of a child. the mother was completely thunderstruck. it was like looking in a mirror. i dont know when we'll stop crying. she said she doesnt know how she's going to do this... i told her, my voice shaking, "just walk, one foot in front of the other, and breathe."
miss my baby so much... still can't believe it's true.

Crying with you, Beth. Sometimes that's all we can do....
ReplyDeleteOne foot in front of the other. One moment at a time.

I think all we can do at times is to walk with one foot in front of the other, take one day at a time, and breath. I cry often and I just let the tears flow. xx
ReplyDeleteI really wish no one else had to join this club.
ReplyDeleteCrying right along with you, Beth. I'm so sorry that other mother has lost a child but can only imagine what a comfort you were to her as only another bereaved mother can be in such circumstances. Sending you love.
