My car didn't die, my son did

I don't know if people are aware of the grief that parents have that have lost a child. We are not normal ever again. Even the things that trigger us to our breaking point even little petty things will make us flip out on a moments notice. I also don't think some people realize that we won't get over it. My son died....at 4 months, how do I "get over it". What is "it" anyways, the feeling of having your heart torn out, the feeling that something is always going to be missing from you life. No one gets over losing a child, some of us carry it with us silently and cry when we need to and scream when we need to. Even those people who are highly funciton and you wouldn't even believe that they had lost a child...they might just be good actors. I'm not going to get over it, and right now I can say I am a good actress some days but I have been pushed to my breaking point, and those that stand in my way are in for a rude awakening because I am not the same person I was before this and I never will be. I will not get over the death of my son, if I did get over this then I would be erasing the fact that I ever had Jackson and I'm not going to do that. I will however heal, learn to live with a broken heart, I will remember him happy or sad, I will cherise the memories I have of him, I will always talk about him.....but what I won't do is get over losing him.

  1. Just remember your credo Lindsay "I will heal in my own time, in my own way". Don't ever let anyone tell you how you should be feeling, or how you should be acting. He was loved by all of us, and sometimes I have to remind people that while my life does go on, he is still a part of it. I'm still so sad about losing my nephew that I am going to cry, whenever and however I want.

  2. I agree 100% with both of you. Lindsay you & Tim lost your son & it was & is the most terrible thing in the world. Collectively we lost a son, a nephew, a cousin, a grandson, a great grandson, a sweet, beautiful little guy. For all of us who loved & still love him, for for all of us who were connected to him, we will NEVER get over it or him. I agree Lisa I cry all the time, especially reading Lindsay's blog. ~ Love Tanya
