The grief and sadness of losing and missing Lacy hits at odd times. I think I'm doing well, have moved past some of the worst of the pain, when a song, or a memory hits me and I'm weeping. I've learned to let my tears flow. The tears seem to heal the pain, and if I let myself feel the loss, I'm able to move on with my day once the worst of the sorrow is over.

As I read their posts I feel afresh the pain of losing inch by inch the person you love. I remember how burying a child is impossible to fathom, even as you sit across from the closed casket.
