…..a very treasured friend of @xliv1715x and a very treasured friend to many, many more.
Today my thoughts are with you @anat12345anat and the rest of your family.
Suffering the loss of a child is a grief that no parent should be made to endure. It goes against the natural order in the world: parents outlive their children, that is the way it is supposed to be. For a mother, our child is the living embodiment of our soul. Their happiness is our happiness. Their sorrow is our sorrow. The light and energy they carry in their soul is what fuels our own. To lose that part of your soul is unthinkable. The pain, unimaginable; visceral, mind-numbing. How a mother continues without it, I do not know.
Yet the law of energy tells us that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed. Energy is not lost, only changed. So maybe, just maybe, in the abyss that is a mother’s grief, there is that one small thread to cling to: Your child’s light and energy is not lost. It is not gone. It is transformed. It still exists. It is still with you. It can no longer be seen with your eyes, but it can be felt. In your heart.
Anat, words cannot console you on this day, or in the days, weeks, months, years to come. I don’t know the answer to “How does a mother get through it?”. I think the only thing you can do is breathe. Breathe in and breathe out. One breath at a time. I think that is the only way it can be done. Just breathe.
May her memory be a blessing. May you know no more sorrow.
