Grief doesn’t really lessen; it seems that the way you experience it just changes from day to day.

A very wise statement.

I lost one of my sons in 2009. He was 2 months shy of his 33rd birthday.

Blessings and hugs for you.
I tend to think that the grief is different depending on who we have lost. Not better or worse, but just different.
I have never lost a child but I imagine that it would feel like having your heart cut out.
For me, losing a spouse is like being cut in half, vertically, right down the middle, so half of me seems to be missing.

God bless you. Losing a child must be so difficult.

I lost my boy at 20, when he killed himself. I was away for the weekend serving at a Tres Dias weekend (an ecumenical Cursillo) and when I came back I found him. Every day I want to be with him. It was a year ago this week.
