We Don’t Move On From Grief

I recently listened to a Ted Talk about this topic. Even though the speaker was not someone who lost a child like I did, she had lost a child via miscarriage but was speaking from a widow’s standpoint, she hit this topic so head on and accurately that all I could think to do was to share it. There is no better way. I can’t re-write it as well or speak about it better. So for the first time in the history of my blog I will simply share a Ted Talk. I really hope you take the next 15 minutes and watch it. Because it doesn’t matter if you’ve experienced a loss like this or not, it will educate you and (I hope) give you insight as to how those of us dealing with this on the daily, feel. Daily.

“The research I have seen will stun you, everyone you love has a 100% chance of dying”

Nora McInerny, TEDWomen 2018; November 2018
Now ask yourself, “What can I do today to let someone know I am thinking about their person? The person they lost?” Then do it. Yes, they’ll cry but they will feel that love and they will know that you still think of their person and they will know that you have love in your heart for them and for the family and everyone that loved them. That is vital.
