Understanding...

  Recently, my daughter Jenny died. I have been having a very difficult time emotionally because of her death.
I have been having hard time adjusting to her not being here anymore. I have had an even harder time with my family doing and saying things that are hurtful. I don't want to get into detail but I do want to share with those who are in the life of someone who has lost a child that the most loving thing you could do for them, is to validate their feelings by simply letting them feel what they are feeling.
It is important to understand that a grieving parent is always going to be grieving. There is not one single day that they will wake up and not think about their child. There is not a day that will go by that they are not going  to miss their child.
So be gentle with a parent who has had to experience the death of a child. Hugs and ears available to listen mean the world to a parent who misses their baby...
