CARRY THEM WITH YOU: a Mother's Grief After the Loss of Child

This book is my story and my experience of grief. Every parent grieves differently. I do not offer a formula, a timetable, or an answer for why unimaginable loss happens. I offer companionship, memory, faith, and the truth I have learned: you do not have to leave your child behind in order to keep living.Carry Them With You was created from my own journey after the loss of my son, Trey.After my son passed, everything became a first-the first Easter, Mother's Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and all the ordinary days that suddenly felt completely different.I learned that grief does not follow a schedule.I learned that you can miss your child desperately and still have moments when you laugh.I learned that feeling happiness again does not mean you have forgotten them.And most importantly, I learned that continuing to live does not mean leaving your child behind.
