[COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#003366]The purpose of this blog is to immortalize my son because it is my responsibility to make sure people remember him. Unfortunately, when you die, life goes on and you are soon forgotten. It just happens. People forget. [/COLOR][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#003366]Unless there is a parent or friend to remind people that you once existed, no one will remember. People don't mean to forget, but life happens and memories fade. It is up to us to keep their memories alive. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000080][COLOR=#009900][COLOR=#003366]I also have started this blog in the hope of helping others. Helping by being there for newly bereaved parents, heeding the call of suicide, and lending support to those experiencing a hard time in life at this moment. Taylor died young because his soul was fully developed, he had to die to pass on his message of hope and love. His death has taught us all many lessons and we hope to teach you what we have learned about when it comes to the afterlife.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]


[COLOR=#003366]No one understands unless they have personally experienced the loss of a child. It's like how no one can understand how much you can possibly love another human being until you actually have your own child. It's like that, only in reverse- because as wonderful as it is to experience the love of a child, experiencing the loss of one is even more profound.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#003366]Feel free to PM me as I am willing to help you through your grief. I've been there, I am there, and I can hold your hand and hold you up while you begin this bumpy ride. [/COLOR]

What is normal after your child dies - Conclusion

Posted 09-09-2008 at 09:59 AM by londonbarcelona


[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is wondering this time whether you are going to say you have two children or one child, because you will never see this person again and it is not worth explaining that Taylor is dead. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]And yet when you say you have one child to avoid that problem, you feel horrible as if you have betrayed the dead child. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is asking G-d why he took your child's life instead of yours and asking if there even is a G-d. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is knowing you will never get over this loss, not in a day nor a million years. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is having therapists agree with you that you will never "really" get over the pain and that there is nothing they can do to help you because they know only bringing back your child back from the dead could possibly make it "better." [/COLOR]

[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is learning to lie to everyone you meet and telling them you are fine. You lie because it makes others uncomfortable if you cry. You've learned it's easier to lie to them then to tell them the truth that you still feel empty and it's probably never going to get any better -- ever. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]And last of all... [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Normal is hiding all the things that have become "normal" for you to [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]feel, so that everyone around you will think that you are "normal." [/COLOR]
