Grief is not *just* feelings. It is so much more.
I shared this last year around this time in response to many, many comments and questions from bereaved parents about what felt like random or unusual physical manifestations of their own grief.
I hope it helps another heart navigate this life none of us would choose.

It’s a well known fact that stress plays a role in many health conditions.
And I think most of us would agree that child loss is one of (if not THE) most stressful events a heart might endure.
So it’s unsurprising that bereaved parents find themselves battling a variety of physical problems in the wake of burying a child.

So very true…
My health has gotten the brunt of child loss grief.
I, too, read books. Some times in one sitting if it was a really good book.
Not anymore. This simple pleasure of escaping the intense pressure of raising a special needs individual, left me and no longer brings me the pleasure it one did.
My prayers for all of us in this life no one would have chosen.
