I do understand the feeling of empty. Maybe not the same way you feel empty, however empty is still empty. As I looked at Mark's face for the last time I panicked thinking, it might be 50 years before I see your sweet face again.
Well, it has been 34 years. I am thankful that time flies fast, however I still might have 16 or more years to go. No matter how many children a Mother has, she will forever miss the one she lost. I call it the missing part. Even though your heart is filled to overflowing...there will always be place for JJ in the missing part of your heart.
Katie, embrace your loss. There is no rush for you to "get over it." When a Mother snuffer’s the loss her child nothing can take the feeling of empty away except time. You are mourning the loss your son.
Mourning and grief are ok. You my dear are normal and OK.
