We have a small house....6 months ago, we were busting at the seems with five children and the bedrooms. Our house feels so empty now. There's a ghost-like quality now in my mind, hazy, cold, sad. I rarely hear joyful sounds of children's laughter coming from the boys' room. There's a gloomy, overcast feeling. And again, empty.
Nolan was so full of life and joy. Our home was crowded, but full of love and laughter.
I'm in so much pain.
I feel like our family will never recover from this.
Oh Jill you know you probably won't recover from this ...it's not like surgery or being ill ...it's a life altering act...but you must go on...you must plow through this for nolan ..or your whole family will fall apart....you must keep getting up and putting that one foot in front of the other ....you have to finish the job you started when you got married and had kids ...and it is a job.....you had five now you have four who still need you and most of all want you to be present in their life....no one in your family will forget nolan ...probably as they get older they will always think ..."what would nolan do?"and won't that be the best thing ever to always have the thought of their brother.... My heart does ache for you ....but keep on trucking kiddo ..it's the best you can do...
ReplyDeleteThanks CAndy.
DeleteThis is a hard question... But would it be helpful or too hard to move???
ReplyDeleteHonestly,I don't know if I could move.... our house is small, not great, but Nolan was here.... it would be hard to move
