The loss of a child for most parents seems unfathomable, especially when you have to add sudden and/or traumatic circumstances to the death. In regards to needing to move on, many parents say it is incredibly hard to comprehend the death, let alone being able to move on from losing a child, no matter the age.
As the other two professionals have stated, everyone’s grief journey is incredibly personal and varied. What we will add is, that it may take lots of self-compassion, time and healthy support from family and friends for life to feel okay again. Many bereaved parents say their grief doesn’t ever truly fade, as part of their future has been ripped away. Rather, they relate that over time, they learn to grow their life around their grief, and integrate it into their changed world.Report this post
