My friend Karen posted a comment a while back using the metaphor that losing a child was like losing your leg. The presence of your other limbs make it possible to carry on but it's just not the same and they most certainly do not fill the void. The void was so intense last night and it's even worse waking up this morning. I just want to be able to hold and kiss my Gracie. I want to be whole again.
I felt as though people were looking at me differently now. My identity had changed and I didn't like it. Sure I have my other limbs but does that mean I'm not allowed to miss the one I've lost? I wondered if this is how amputee's feel? People see it but don't address it or talk about it because they are "afraid of making you uncomfortable" when actually, they are the ones uncomfortable. Kind of sick that the person who is suffering is made to suffer more by the awkward discomfort of others.
