You Will Never Be the Same

You will never be the same after losing a child. And that is not necessarily a bad thing! I find that people who have gone through traumatic events tend to have a deeper character and a deeper understanding of people.

I am definitely a stronger person having endured the losses that I have had. Not only have I lost children I have also lost a parent, grandparents, a sibling and friends. Man, life can really be tough!

But- having experienced these losses has made me a much stronger person. I no longer avoid difficult situations like I used to thinking that I cannot handle them. I find myself being strong now, not in the beginning, but now several years down the road. I am able to handle talking with people during their really difficult times and being a real support and help to them.

If I can be of any help to you while you are struggling with your loss, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can e-mail me at kuphoff59@gmail.com. I can't take away all of your pain, but I can be a good listener and can walk with you down your road to grief recovery.
