Heaven Sent
I knew when the doctor put you in my arms that you were Heaven sent. But now, lm so fucking mad, because none of this makes any sense!
I've always heard that God's big book tells when you'll come into this world and even when & how you will leave. I never once imagined that your day would come before mine!. Damn, I was so naive.
They say it was God's plan for me to have you only for twenty- two years. Why would He put me through this hell, knowing I'd be broken hearted and crying all of these tears?
He said He would never leave this world broken. That's what He promised, that's what He said. But He's left me broken & empty, and asking why, He couldn't just take me instead.

Grief is a complex journey, often accompanied by feelings of anger, confusion, and deep sorrow. Many mothers face these emotions when they experience the loss of a child, a situation that defies natural order and leads to profound questioning of faith and purpose. In moments of grieving, it's crucial to find support and community, whether through family, friends, or support groups. Engaging with those who understand this particular pain can offer solace and validation. Professional counseling or therapy can also be beneficial, providing a safe space for expressing grief and finding ways to cope with the overwhelming emotions that arise. Additionally, many find comfort in memorializing their children, whether through writing, creating art, or participating in events that honor their memory. This action can transform grief into a loving tribute, allowing the deceased to live on in some form. Sharing stories about the loved one can help keep their memory alive, fostering connection with others who may have faced similar losses. Furthermore, recognizing that grieving is a process that varies for each individual is essential. There is no 'right' way to grieve, and timelines should not be imposed. Allowing oneself to feel the emotions, whether sadness, anger, or resentment, is a critical step in healing. It's also important to celebrate the short time shared with the loved one, finding joy in cherished memories amidst the pain. In the journey of grief, both joy and sorrow can coexist, nurturing healing and understanding over time.
