They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Saying the name of a child who has died can be very important to bereaved parents. A lovely way to include the child’s name might be to add that you always remember them in a card or message you send to the family.

Ohh, to live the whole rest of your life without someone you love.

How might you even imagine it?

Because I have done so for 60 years, it is my obligation to let you know my experience.

Of all the things I might be able to offer, it is this…

You will look down at your feet as they wobbly take one step. And then two. And then many.

As you listen to the beat beat beat of your heart, you will learn to gently hold it and move with it.

On the days you fall to your knees, your feet will once again, take one step. And then, another.

It will be the hardest thing you ever do.

And, you will do it.

You won’t have to be grateful and will feel so sorry for yourself at times, wondering, why me.

And, you will do it.

Because you are human. And you are meant to feel all things.

Gently holding your person close. Speaking their name.

You will do it. Know that it will be the hardest thing you will ever do. And, you will do it.

I hope you will look down at your feet, and take one step. And then the next.

From the heart and wobbly feet of a little 10 year old girl who did it.

And you will too.

You don’t have to be an expert to help someone open up, and you don’t need the perfect words, the ones you already have are enough. 💚
