@thedianesantos: Child loss changes your entire world. I honestly feel most comfortable when I’m alone with my thoughts and my grief. Work is a good distraction, it gets me out of the house for 9 hours a day but when it’s over I breathe a sigh of relief that my “people time” is done. Very few understand how it feels to function with part of yourself missing. As grieving moms, we live conflicted. Hearts forever broken but expected to participate in life. Do what feels best for you 💜 #childloss #grievingmom #selfisolation #lifeafterloss #griefawareness #brokenhearted #bereavedmother
this is so true. this is why grief is a very lonely place....I hope that people understand this... we have to do what we have to do to keep living...to keep the sanity...it is not about them...its all about you. My forever28Ally

I don’t have the support system like this anymore but I’m not sure that I would reach out even if I did. It’s a tough spot to live in

I self isolate too! I am just fine with this. I don’t have a family support system. Some friends yes. I just cry silently and am sad quietly!

I appreciate this post. I too choose not to for these reasons. The longer she’s been gone, the less they understand.

I lost my 2 youngest daughters 9 yrs apart the most recent was my youngest in January 2024. I know beyond a shadow that I could have prevented both their deaths if I had just been more present. I isolate because everyone wants to try to convince me that I am wrong. I'll mourn their death until the day I die and carry the this knowledge to my grave.

I do this. I wish others understood. But I often feel like when I need that isolation it’s bc life is too loud and I need that time with my son Noah. He has been gone a year and a half. Grief is hard

Pieces of Grief :
I isolate too. It’s emotionally exhausting to pretend to be ok in a social situation. Plus all the conversations others have can unintentionally hurt so much

Oh my goodness I lost all 3 of my sons and my Son that just died his name was Mark too and I had always called him Markie too and my Son Luke that was killed by a drunk driver I called him Lukie and My son Matthew died 8 months ago,they all died and I’m grieving so much and I do the same thing but I don’t have anyone and I don’t have a support system I have my daughter but she has her own life with her husband to be and her 3 furry children so and they travel a lot so I am alone . I’m so sorry for your loss of your son Markie too. Thank you for your words they mean a lot to me because I died when my last son Markie was killed by 2 cars 3 months ago and I have to save my entire energy for work. God bless you 💯🙏 I have anxiety attacks on a daily basis 💯
