My Story…
Since the passing of my friend Tayler, I have always made it a goal of mine to help her family & friends out any way I can. We were cut short of our graduation together but this is a picture of me standing with her wonderful, beautiful momma.
During the same time of year, one of my closest friends had been going through with her family their own personal loss, the passing of her baby sister. My friend had kept from me this information because our connection wasn’t very close at the time of us both grieving these losses. I had a hard time trying to understand what was happening, but lifted each other up, we became stronger people.
I never wish this pain upon any family. I love everyone of you who has been impacted by this or losses similar to this. Parents and family who need a little reminder they aren’t alone, is exactly why I’m doing this.
I believe you do not deserve to go through this life alone, even if you think your pain is a burden to everyone else, it’s not. Grief is so raw, real and sometimes rare. Not all the time do we see people openly talking about their grief, but you weren’t supposed to ever do this by yourself! You are so loved.
