All you have to do is ask

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only grieving parent in the universe. I'm sure a lot of grieving parents feel that way. As I read this article, I thought to myself, 'YES! I want to talk about Shelby! I want to tell you whatever you want to know!' Talking about him helps him to stay alive in my mind. I am still his mother, he is still my son. I hold on to things he wrote and made to prove he existed. I talk with his friends and recount good times with them. It is so very important. Please take a moment to read this article. It helps to ease the anxiety of wondering whether or not someone wants to talk about their child who is now in Heaven. This woman is so brave to put it all out there. We can all learn a little from her sincere words. https://medium.com/@sonaymustafa77/loss-of-a-child-the-forbidden-subject-a06f7ce3965b
