I can't believe she said that!

This is going to be a short post but I wanted to share something.  The other night I was having kind of a hard night so I texted my new found friend that lost her son 2 weeks after Kami died.  He committed suicide with a gun as well.  He was 15 years old and shot himself at school in the morning before it started.  Anyway, I had texted this friend and told her I was having a tough time because I know she understands.  She was telling me that a lady had said to her, "it's been almost a year, you should be getting over it".  I just about died when she told me that.  I wanted to say, hey how about you pick one of your own children and have them commit suicide and then "get over it".  This friend basically said something very similar to that with a few scattered choice words in there, very justified.    I was shocked at the insensitivity of this woman.  I was so angry for my friend.    Can I just tell you, I will never be "over it".  A piece of my heart is missing.  future grandchildren, hanging out with a daughter, pedicures together, going to lunch or a movie together, spending holiday's, spending family trips together.  Get over it.....not gonna happen.  Luckily I have had sensitive people around and I have had great compassion shown to me.  I just want to say to everyone, losing a child is not something you ever get over.  You function every day, you get through each day.  Sometimes with a smile, sometimes not.  Some days are better than others and there is no time frame.  Everyone is different.  Share this post with others and tell everyone to "walk a mile in another mother's shoes".
