Grieving Mother.. the journey through Life after my Daughter died

I had a patient come in today and she saw a picture of Kelsey's wedding day. I have never seen this patient before, and of course she commented on how pretty and nice, but then she went on. She went on to say how hard it is for moms when their children leave home. When they get married it is just not the same. She continued on and on about how hard it is when children leave home, and how much you want them back. I told her I understood more than she realized. I probably would have been fine if she had stopped at that point. But she just kept on for another few minutes and it has now put me on the brink of tears thinking about how much I wish Korry was with me here on Earth. I am still struggling a few hours later. Luckily I have been so busy, it has not allowed the tears to fall, but it hit me really hard.

People who have not lost a child just don't understand the long-term impact. The lack of interest in other people and their family's  day to day trivial problems, really don't have any meaning to me. I don't keep up with families of other people all I want to do is be by myself it's not necessarily a depression, it's just not wanting to be around everyone else and all of their miscellaneous issues. They are nothing compared to what I have been through and I have no patience for listening to it. I think I am just having a grumpy day.
