My Child In Heaven

As we enter the season of holidays, the grief we feel because of child loss escalates. The holidays used to be such a time of joy. Since the loss of a child, everything has changed so much. The empty ache for the one who is missing hurts clear to the core of a parent's soul.

When a child leaves this earth there is a hole left in the heart of a parent. That empty feeling can’t be explained with words. It’s a space that is void, yet it hurts deeply and continuously. It’s an empty echo in a space that can only be filled by the child who is no longer here.
