Reaching Out
As someone who has also lost a child, I want to reach out to you with all the compassion and understanding my heart can offer. I long to embrace you, to reassure you—if only for a moment—that you are not alone in this unimaginable pain. The world changes forever when you lose your child. That last hug as they left for camp was given without any sense it would be final. They set out, eager for friendship and new adventures, never realizing they wouldn’t return. It’s brutally unfair, and no explanation can make sense of it.
