Why Others Fear You As a Bereaved Mother

Absolutely nothing in this world could have prepared me for that moment of walking away from the purpose I thought my life had. Others swore that I would be okay, and that offended me the most, because at the time I didn’t even want to entertain the idea of ever being okay. Your child died, and you swore with their last breath you’d live life full enough for the both of you. And from now until you take your last breath, you will watch others taking life for granted and while you contemplate shaking them out of shallow living, you realize that could have been you had it not been for the high price you’ve been asked to pay, so you sprinkle a dose of grace.
