43. Heartbreaking--I know the pain

Thu Jul 6, 2023, 11:09 AM

Jul 2023

I lost my son to suicide in January of 2022, he was 25. His birthday is 7/8 so in 2 days he would have been 27.

Seeing you smiling so happy while pregnant with your daughter--the absolute joy! And then the pictures of your daughter innocently sleeping as a toddler, then again to see what a beautiful woman she grew to be. It brings back my own memories.

My heart breaks for you as I know so deeply the pain of losing a child. The worst pain anyone can endure.

(I love the name Bekah, such a beautiful name for a beautiful human being).
