Iām sorry for your loss, Meg. My 2-year-old daughter, Sierra, died 35 years ago. For some reason, the emotions are strong and heavy this summer. Sending a healing hug.
Yesterday was five years since our son's passing. He was our #6 and I took for granted how healthy our children were, until he unexpectedly was born extremely brain-damaged and disabled. We cared for him in all the ways someone could care for a child whose body has completely failed him for seven months and then he passed away on August 25, 2020.
As you so beautifully wrote, some memories are sharp and vivid and others are so dull and faded. I don't know how to share without dragging others down so I just remain quiet. I feel like words fail and I have spoken enough already.
The memory transportation... "Sometimes the memories scroll through in numbers."... So many portions I resonate with. We're coming up on five years (which struck me for the first time earlier today, making this an especially timely read).
Thank you for sharing Jacob with us along with your mother's heart. š¦
5 years! I canāt believe it. That milestone was big for me too. Thanks for loving my boy. Iām so hopeful for the day that we get to be together again - and to meet all the littles whose brave mamas Iāve met in this club none of us want to be in š
Sweet Jacob! Youāve been an incredible mother to him for a whole decade. Your words about Jacob and the photos you share always bless me. I will never forget him. š¦
Thank you friend. Even in the unspoken words (that Iām sure would encourage more than you think!) thereās an understanding that Iām sad we have to share š

Thank you š I can relate to that. Thanks for sharing your daughter Sierra with me, too.

Iām so sorry you have walked a similar road. Iām so, so sorry he isnāt here, and that he was born with brain damage. š
So very worth honoring. š¤š¤
