10 years and 3 months ago [View all]

My son died. His birthday is December 18, he'd be 43.
So hard to imagine. 33 is a long was from 43. Trying as always to.keep my shit together for my husband, surviving son, dil & 18 month old granddaughter.
It's not easy. I miss him everyday and if you are a suicide survivor, you are very along. No one wants to think that could happen to there family.
So I wear my mask the best I can, try to stay human and connected, love my family and others and hope for hope.
Any spare good thoughts please send then to us childless mothers. Especially this month.? 03 <3 <3
