The journey through grief is just that; a journey. Everyday I wake up and chose life; I chose joy, I chose sadness, I chose love, I it all. I chose everything that comes with being a mother because you can’t just accept part of your child and that is just what Everett was, what Everett is; my child.

Denying a part of my grief would be like denying a part of him so I chose to embrace it, just like I would’ve embraced him.
