Wednesday's Woe - The Eyes of a Bereaved Parent ~Tommy Prince

..........I'm Always Under the Weather When You're Away…

Wednesday's Woe

The Eyes of a Bereaved Parent

~Tommy Prince

We don't see things the way we used to since our child died. 

Child-Loss Grief changes the way we see things. 

Our perspective changes.

..........Our values are challenged...

We have an advantage over the general population because now we know what's really important. 

I caught a glimpse of my face in one of those ipads my son had zeroed in on me; I was surprised at how sad my eyes look. You remember the precious-moments figurines? 

There's a precious moments figurine's expression that's permanently etched on my face...

The brightness is gone. 

..........You were Daddy's Little Sunshine…

It went with her. 

..........You Are Always in My Heart…

I can feel the brightness return momentarily when I see my granddaughter Ellie, 

..........but then it's gone...

Then the precious moments figurine look comes back. 

..........Merry Katherine, 

..............................Baby Girl, 

........................................You Hold the Key to Daddy's Heart…
