The Death of Your Angel is a Lifetime Journey
The Mother’s of Angels support group for mother’s grieving the loss of their child or children.
As is supposed to be the natural course of life, one would think that the parents are supposed to predecease their children. Parents are supposed to get to watch their child grow, have fun, go off on their own, get married and one day become parents themselves.
Parents are not meant to be arranging the funerals of their child, sitting beside their graves and weeping, asking and wondering to themselves and to God, why? Why my child God, what did I do wrong, where did I go wrong, what could I have done different if anything?
The loss of a child is the loss of innocence of one so pure in the hearts of their parents, their siblings, their grandparents and their friends. The death of a child to a parent signifies the loss of their future, their hopes, their dreams, their entire world.
And as this all unfolds their world as they knew it comes tumbling down and they are often times left alone to pick up the pieces of a life that they dont know how they can bare. An emptiness is left inside of you, you feel as though no one understands your pain and what you are going through.
Your spouse reacts differently than you, you feel your friends and other family members just dont get what is wrong with you. The you that you were when you carried that child for 9 long months and the you that nurtured and watched that child grow is now no longer you. The you that you were then changed the very moment that you found out that your child died and as you know, you will never be the same.
However, here and now in the midst of
The Mothers of Angels, you are not alone and with this support you will not be the same as you were before you walked through that door.

your story has brought tears to my eyes-my heart is with you as I have lost a child who would be turning 19 years of age this year. My heart still breaks everyday and I often wonder the same things-what if she was here with me today.Keep your chin up and keep going forword everyday-your child would want you to.

I feel your pain and we are living every parents worse nightmare. It is now a part of who we are and our lives will never be the same again. My son was 14 when he drowned and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss him. I also wrote an article on grief that I hope you get a chance to read. Your are a compassionate writer and love your article. Thanx so much for sharing and reaching out to those in pain.
