Many avoid talking about the death of a child because they are uncomfortable and don't know what to say. Grief is a healthy response to loss. Grief has many faces. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Everyone's grief is their own.
Healing takes time.
There are many ups and downs. Remember that feeling pain is important to the healing process. Also remember that healing does not have a schedule and does not know time. As you begin to heal, you will think less about what you have lost and more about what you have been given. There will be more good days than bad.
