CLOSURE???

A friend asked me if I had received closure.  Honestly, this was the first time in years that anyone has asked me this.  In addition, this was the first time in years; I actually said the answer aloud.  No, I haven’t completely received closure.  Many women, who go through this tragedy and in time, have a second child. This second child often makes the healing process smoother, or feels the void. After all, you now have somewhere to put that love that was lost with your previous child.  I did go through a period of trying to have another child, but reality surfaced.  The reality is there is a 95% chance that I will never physically be able to have another child.  Although, I have had time to absorb this truth, saying it aloud once again gives me chills. Not even my family knows this truth (but I guess they do now) so, you understand why closure is a relative term for me.  Yes, this is a sad truth, but the best thing to come from this, is that I am so much stronger than I ever thought I would be in this life.  Time does not heal all wounds, but it does make the wounds easier to handle. I have my, whoa as me days, of course, but in the end I KEEP GETTING UP! That is one of my messages to whoever reads this. No matter what your struggle and no matter what the tragedy, keep getting up! #helpinghealhearts#valerieboyd16.com#empowermentliving.net
