I Have Something to Say

Today marks the two year anniversary of my son’s passing
He was my life
He was my everything
Today I am supposed to be healing, yet I feel as I did that day
He was taken from me by a sick twisted individual
Life moves on right..?
Then why do I still feel so empty..?

Supposed to be healing? Who said that?

You can hurt, you can cry, you lost someone and went through hell, nobody gets to tell you how you have to/should feel. You lock a sizable piece of you emptiness is normal, and it's ok to feel, yes it sucks and it hurts, and it's chaos but you are not "doing it wrong". And yes life does move on, but pain and tragedy stay, in the book of your life it's a page, nothing will erase it, nor should it. It is yours. Allow yourself all the time you need.
