14. HEAVINESS
Heaviness…Pain and grief definitely have a weight to them. If you don’t allow yourself the time to grieve or the time to feel your emotions the weight of them can start to compile…until they tip over and you have a full-out emotional breakdown. Gallons of water will run from your eyes, you can barely catch your breath, and your entire body aches.
Being a bereaved parent is heavy. Emotionally heavy. We carry around with us a large amount of emotionally baggage…and sometimes we trip and that baggage comes flying open. I basically view myself this way each and everyday. Walking around carrying around my bags hoping to not encounter a trigger that will cause me to lose grasp of my grip.
“I wish I was full of ice-cream instead of emotions.”
We love you Bear, Jackie, and Peanut!
