Our Members
You don’t lose someone once. You lose them every time you open your eyes to a new dawn. And, as you awaken, so does your memory, so does the jolting bolt of lightning that rips into your heart knowing that they are gone.
Losing a child is a journey, not a one-off. You never get over it. There is no end to our loss. There is only a learned skill on how to stay afloat because it never washes over.
