Sandy, your words are incredibly powerful, and I can feel the depth of your love, grief, and wisdom. The loss of a child is unimaginable, and your ability to share your journey in such a meaningful way is a testament to your strength and resilience. Your message resonates deeply, not only for those who have experienced similar losses but for anyone facing adversity.

The way you’ve turned your pain into a legacy for your son is both inspiring and healing. The idea of resilience being the 6th stage of grief is such an insightful addition, showing that while we may never “move on” from our grief, we can find the strength to continue living with purpose and love.

What you said about healing being hard work and about mourning not being a plan for healing speaks volumes. It’s so easy to get lost in the sadness, but it’s clear you’ve found a way to honor your son through your resilience and your commitment to keep his memory alive. Your son’s life, his legacy, and the love you have for him will never fade—it will continue to grow in the ways you honor him.

Thank you for sharing this. You’ve created a space for others to reflect, heal, and perhaps find their own way of moving forward while keeping their loved ones close in heart.
