While grief and loss are a normal part of life, the death of a child is unimaginable. It goes against the natural order of things- a parent is not supposed to outlive their child. Experiencing the loss of a child changes every part of your world, both who you are and how you see yourself in it. In the first few weeks and months, parents have shared feeling like they are in a fog or numb. As months grow on, the intensity of emotions can feel overwhelming and disorienting. Contrary to what society may say, the pain does not go away after a year or some defined stage, it is a lifelong unfolding journey. While grief shifts and changes over time, it can feel unpredictable, like waves crashing in the ocean.  Many people struggle to know who they can talk with about their grief experience. Some parents long for spaces to talk about their child and hear their child’s name spoken out loud. Some friends and family may be uncomfortable talking about the child who died or worry that continue talking about it is a sign that someone is not “moving on”. This can create feelings of loneliness and isolation, feeling like your emotions are too big for others to carry. During this time, many parents worry about the impact their grief journey will have on them not only on them individually, but also their relationship as a couple.
