Needed this so much. We lost my mom in August. She was a part of my & my kids’ lives for almost 20 years, living with us until her physical needs were beyond what I could help with. My 11 year old opened up to me today (12/15 /21) about his grief. He said they were given a writing prompt “if you had a time machine, where would you travel to and why”. He said his first thought was “I’d go back to before grandma passed and tell her I love her and goodbye - because I didn’t get to do that.” (Hospital only allowed one person with her during those last days). Thank you for the reminder that I need to make sure we are connecting and he is processing as well.
Thank you for speaking on the topic of childhood grief. I recently loss my 18 year old son; and have a 15 year old son. As a bereaved mother, I will be sharing your truth with younger my son as he too, is mourning the loss of his brother.
I never knew this about you when we were in High School, and you were Student Body President. You were very gracious, as if nothing major had happened. You rock Kate!
I agree with so much that she says, just not necessarily saying that grief is good. That's ok; no two people agree about everything. With so many kids losing parents to overdose deaths, this lady's message needs to be spread throughout our country & the world.

My kids lost thier father last month; a day before my birthday and my heart just burns and aches for them. I've been crying almost everyday, since..
I hope things are as easy for you as they can be, sending love
@PBPxnisherCD we are doing well and have been going to therapy since, so that has helped a lot. Thank you! Blessings! 🙏
