When you lose a child
The 10th of Augustus of 2022 will be forever etched in my mind.
Because that's the day I lost my daughter Lucy.
She was 25.
When you lose a child
Wednesday the 10th of August 2022 started like any other day. I got up, I went for my daily run, I worked on my blogs and I had my morning coffee.
It was after I finished my coffee, and walked back to my computer that everything changed.
Because it was then that I learned something had happened to my daughter.
And I felt like I tumbled down this big hole.
I'm still tumbling
In a way I'm still tumbling. And while I tumble I try to go about my life.
Sometimes I can't believe how it might look as if I'm okay on the outside.
Because inside of me is this big hole.
Ohhh I'm so so sad to read this. I will be praying for you on your journey through this grief. Thank you for sharing your heart, I know its hard, but you never know who may be reading. You are in my prayers! Thank you for sharing with Encouraging Hearts and Home this week.
Thank you very much Stacy for your kind words.
Sending prayers and a big warm HUG wrapping you up from me to you sweet friend.
Visiting today from PoCoLo.
Big hug!
Sending positive thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry to hear this. I know about how losing a child can affect a family.
Oh I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
Yes, it's the worst thing I could ever imagine.
Thank you!
I can not even begin to imagine what you have gone through! I am so sorry for your loss. I know it’s been a year, but I’m sure that doesn’t take away the ache inside.
What you said about how you feel is the same thing that my mom said when I lost my little brother. She told me about that hole in her heart, and I know for a fact that that will never go away. How could it?
My words can’t do nothing to easier hurt, but my mothers heart feels with you. Please accept my small gift of a virtual hug.
And I think sometimes that we have to reach out a little and let others know how are hurting, and I’m sure it brings pain even to relive it through the comments. But maybe that’s part of the grieving process, to remember a little. I know you’ll never forget.

Thank you so much Laurie for your kind words. They mean a lot to me.
I can totally relate to what you write about the loss of your little brother.
Oh Nicole, my heart goes out to you. I'm sorry, I did not realise you had suffered this terrible loss.
Thank you April. It is indeed a terrible loss. It's my worst nightmare come through.
