Your eternal love for her and her innocent sweetness (and fun-loving silliness) shine through, so much that I, too, feel sad for the loss of Clea and wish that I had known her.<br />In coping with the tragic death of my son and the void that surrounds me, I find myself in a constant state of turmoil and restlessness. The purpose and meaning of my life as I have known them for 24 years have disappeared and I am seeking a new balance and the occasional moment of peace.<br /> I am learning that one of the few ways to do this is by connecting with other people, mostly parents who are experiencing a similar grief. <br />So your blog is very meaningful and helpful to me and I'm sure to others as well.GrahamForeverInMyHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567227324094005373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278373112095554535.post-54744880360982185332013-01-28T12:43:02.465+14:002013-01-28T12:43:02.465+14:00Thanks for reading, too.

It is not only the void our child's death creates in our lives, but it is also the void others create around us and our grief. Both voids collide within the grieving parent, and both are quite devastating, each in their own way.<br /><br />Thank you so much for being there.
