I miss everything about him. I can’t wrap my heart around how he just dropped me like garbage. I refuse to be bitter. Being his mother was one of the joys of my life

I miss his laugh and spending time with him, making up lyrics while he plays his ukulele. We bonded with poo humor. As a step mom, and l am heartbroken. I chose to love him and still do every day, even through and hopefully after this passes. Ughhh 😭

Anger is the hardest because you feel you are not allowed to feel it. You have to keep shoving it away and so it never gets processed. Grief is bad but at least people don't condemn you for feeling it.

Grief is life long. All of those emotions are part of grief. We love big so we grieve big. Prefer to love then to never loved. It shows I am a good mom that was not perfect.

Honestly there are too many emotions that go through me on a daily basis. I think the hardest one is not knowing what I did wrong and not being given the opportunity to hear it from my son so that I could apologize so we could go on and have a relationship. For all I know he could be married, I could be a grandmother, I have no idea and it really, really hurts.

A little bit of embarrassment and shame too. Lots of people out there that judge. Some people get very nosey. People want to talk behind my back. They feel better about their own lives when they do.

Each of the above at one time or another, they come and go again and again. I’ll be doing ok, then it all comes back, until I climb up again. Just keep swimming!
