I never imagined my story would begin here-with loss. I always thought the defining chapters of my life would be filled with laughter, milestones, memories, and the comforting chaos of motherhood. It was for many years and then grief introduced itself into our lives, and grief redefines everything.
I am a mother. That has always been my most cherished title. I always knew I wanted to be a mother, and I wanted “4 babies”. And now I am also a grieving mother-a title no one asks for, yet one that forever changes who you are……
Losing a child is not something you “move on” from; it is something you learn to live with, breath by breath most times. It redefines joy, reshapes time, and teaches you how to breathe again when you feel like you can’t even find the energy to do so. It is in this space, between sorrow and strength that my story continues to unfold.
This blog is not just about loss, but about a mothers’ love. It’s about the journey of holding on yet letting go, of honoring both Luke and Nates life that ended here on earth far too soon. It’s about finding the pieces of myself in the ruins of what used to be. I am sharing this not for sympathy but for connection. If you’ve loved deeply and lost deeply then you already understand.
This is my way of keeping the light of my children alive in this physical world.
This is my truth!
This is my heart!
