I wrote this post in response to the deaths of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher in December, 2016. Debbie died of a broken heart within a day of hearing of her daughter’s death.
It was an opportunity to educate others about the reality of child loss and a parent’s broken heart while the world’s attention was focused on the subject.
Like so many other things competing for headlines and social media hits, it was only a hot topic for a brief while.
But for those of us living with the daily reality of a missing child and a broken heart this still rings true.
I think Bereaved Parents Month is an appropriate time to revisit it. ❤
“The world is stunned by the deaths of Carrie Fisher at 60 and her mother Debbie Reynolds just one day later.
And it should be.”

Flying used to make me nervous; I was afraid of dying in an airplane accident. But after Jason died, I no longer fear death. As a matter of fact, there have been days I would welcome death so that this pain would end and I could see him again. It takes real, concerted effort to get up every morning and keep on walking this path. A broken heart is not just a figure of speech. It’s a real thing. Whatever causes my death, I know that it will have been exacerbated by my broken heart.
