Emptiness

Some days the whole is so big and the pain so raw from the loss of my daughter. I know I will never be the same. I have grown immensely but I wish the hole would fill.

Hi Kristen

I did not lose a daughter but I did lose a husband, I do hear the pain is much worse when you lose a child. I do have a daughter and I can not imagine losing her. I wanted to write to you since I did not see any replys to you. How old was your daughter and what was she like? I just want to know that I have heard the pain or scars will always remain but the pain gets a little less painful as time goes by. I do feel at times empty, lonely, and so unreal, but I ask God for strength through all this, I ask for peace. I will never understand why, but there has to be a good reason that I do not know yet.

Thanks. It does ease. But some days are so very raw. I have grown so much. Uncovered a lot of layers to my own self. And I can not imagine your pain. Blessings

I also lost a son. Just before Christmas 2014. You could be speaking for me. There is no joy left in my world. I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and hoping it becomes normal. I go places and can relate to no one. How could I? They have no idea the depth of hurt (so raw!) where you are. What is worse is the sympathetic expressions. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
