turning loss into more love
I often think about all the things we will miss experiencing with Gavin since his death. I know it’s part of the process we call grief (I’m determined to find a better word). I understand the “missing” is heavy because of the amount of love there is. I understand the loss feels unbearable all the time. For right now I’m going to talk about all the things I did get to experience through Gavin’s life.

Saying we live our lives for our children seems normal and makes sense. We raise them. We guide them through young adulthood. My most beautiful and proudest moments of my life are with my boys. After the sudden tragic loss of a child this meaning becomes something all together different.
