I can't tell you how much this photo makes my heart happy and hurt. I can't tell you enough, there is no fulfilling way to say to you how I am so sorry, so very deeply sorry! For You, for Jay and for Alex; Sending Infinite Love and Peace!!!
I'm scared and shocked to ask this, but is this your daughter? Who died? OMG, the pain those words brings just to put into a sentence, I'm so sorry if this monster has engulfed you!
My younger daughter Emmy passed away suddenly Friday morning. She was well Tuesday, got a little respiratory infection Wednesday but ended up with pneumonia and sepsis Thursday night. The PICU staff worked literally all night to try to make her well, but she passed Friday morning.
There it is. The worst possible thing in the world.
I'm so, so, SO sorry.
I wish for you as much numbness as you can manage.
I wish for you space where you have nothing required of you other than trying to remember to breathe over and over.
I wish for you kindness in your mourning. I hope you're kind to yourself, to Jay and Alex, and that they're kind back. I know people mourn in different ways, I just hope it's kind.
My husband's sister died as as an older teenager. I've talked with my mother-in-law about this. She's still there, just absent at the moment. The grief changes over time to be something different than the yawning chasm in front of you. That's not supposed to be comforting, just to let you know that the unbearable part stops being so unbearable someday. Just so, you know, you can keep breathing knowing there's a reason to keep trying.
