Or should I say messengers of hope?
During a group setting with other parents who have lost children, healthcare professionals who wanted insight on those who have lost, and others present (family members, etc)I was able to share a few experiences my husband and I had after Lorenzo's passing. I had no reservations about what I was sharing, afterall, I felt as though my emotional life at that point was so exposed anyhow. There was nothing I was apprehensive about sharing.
After sharing one of our experiences, a grandmother offered that "sometimes we make things up to make ourselves feel better.." - Wow. Understandable, why should anyone take the word of a stranger? First of all, I have no reason to lie and/or exaggerate a situation. My life at times is so colorful, there is no need to season it. I appreciate a story told as is, so that's how I tell one.
About Me
- Forever Lorenzo's Mother
- It has been 14 years since my son passed away while at a home daycare. Life, as one can imagine, took an incredibly challenging turn, but here I am. I rarely identify myself or those closest to me on this page, as in the beginning it served as a sort of "therapy" just for me. I am grateful to have had a place to come to when I needed to "communicate" and make sense about what the world happened to my beautiful boy, my life. I am also grateful that I could look back in this diary of sorts and now see that along with an amazing support system, absolute faith and persistence to survive has brought me to where I am today. Much love and light to those on the road of recovery - any recovery. Believe in what may seem impossible...
