Heavy thoughts today to one of our wrestling families. They lost their son yesterday to a four wheeler accident, he was 11.
I can’t help but think that this tragedy will either bring them closer together as a family, or tare them apart.
I won’t compare, but I can relate. Unfortunately for me, my grief turned to the later part of that.
Losing a child is nothing a parent should ever endure. No matter what the age. In the last 15 years, I’ve whiteness parents laying their child to rest who were between the ages of 1 month and 60 years of age. Myself being one of them, he was 3. None of the services were easy. They never are, no matter the circumstances.
I can only think to tell them that as hard as it is, don’t go searching for the “why”. They’ll never find the answer. Time will never make it easier, but it will make it lighter. And to be ready for the stages of grief, it’s a rollercoaster. ❤️🩹
We hold those we love close to us, this is just a reminder to hold them a little closer.
Your therapist is 100% right. Bad things do happen to good people. And we can’t keep asking why, otherwise we’ll stay stuck. It unfortunately is a way of life that we’ll never be able to get around.
