Thank you for that!
The part that is so difficult is that there HAS TO BE a period of mourning the loss of a child! I thank G-d he is still living and thriving and I am heartbroken at the same time. I am moving thru it, and I appreciate your insight

@ikas You are so right. Grief for the loss, after the hurt and anger, is a big emotion. I tried to add that in specifically but it was too late to edit.

The grief won’t go away but does become more manageable. In my case the loss of my sister has turned from grief to occasional nostalgia over the years. I’ll be doing something and miss not sharing it with her. We used to have such a great laugh together.

At the same time my sister over the years has become more embedded in her beliefs which causes her tensions with all 4 of her kids who adore her, and has also lost her several long term friends.

So there’s also a degree of lightness in my spirit in not being around that drama.

Sending hugs and best wishes as you navigate your loss and grief 🙏♥️❤️‍🩹

PS We have reached a place where we do text well wishes to each other on special occasions such as our birthdays and Christmas.
