When do you enjoy life again after the death of your toddler?

When does life get easier?
I found I had so many questions and so few answers after my toddler died.
My story of grief began in 1989 after the death of my toddler.
At the time, I was 28 years old, happily married and living in a new home with two beautiful, healthy, young children.
Within moments the pain of grief pierced my heart.
I wanted to die too.
I experienced the absolute lowest point in my life and had no idea how I was going to survive.
I was encouraged to keep a journal of my feelings and emotions which I did. It exposed and off loaded my deepest emotions of grief.
Little did I know then, that it would be a significant to my healing process.
Read What if and discover how off loading and forgiving can help you move forward.
It took me two years to forgive myself and others and begin to heal.
You can read my story to bring hope to yours.

Just read your journal in one sitting. Through tears and heartbreak I connected with your pain and the utter disbelief of what to do next. I saw myself in many of your words. Last November my baby was stillborn at 38 weeks pregnant and now, nearly 12 months on, life is still so 'wrong', but we are coping. Thankyou for sharing your story of your precious Ben. I have hope that one day I too will smile and 'live' again.

Sorry to hear about the sad loss of your son. Reading about Ben has made me appreciate even more how precious my two beautiful children are. Thankyou

I have read your journal. It was so heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. It is a wonderful project – thank you for sharing it with us.
It such a terrible thing to go through – every parent’s worst fear, it's so great that people can read this and know they are not alone.

This has given me great courage to support my daughter. How wonderful to find you today after finding Isabel's first photos in a little brag book and crying wishing we could have our darling back again. Thank you so sincerely for being so brave to publish your personal journal I hope Sarah can take strength from this. I do feel like your Mum as a mum and a grandmother! and the incredible change to our lovely family but I have faith we will enjoy good times again. From the bottom of my heart, thankyou for your inspiration today. I am forever grateful.

It has been a good experience for me to sit and reminisce on my feelings of the past. So thank you for motivating me in this direction. At least now I do have a written outline of our journey with Paul whereas before it has always just been in my head.

It wasn't until I was in my twenties that I began to grieve for my brother. It was such a release and relief!
At any rate, I guess I'm telling you this as a way of thanks for what you're doing with your journal. I hope that many, many people are helped by it.
