It is ok that your not ok

Losing a child is an experience that is hard to put into words. It's a pain that is indescribable and isolating. When people say "it's OK to be not OK," it can feel like a platitude that doesn't quite capture the depth of the grief. However, as time went on, I began to realize the truth in those words. It's OK to not be OK, and it's important to allow yourself to feel the pain and process it in your own way.

There were times when I felt like no one could possibly understand what I was going through. It was like I was on a different planet, and the rest of the world was carrying on without me. But as I started to open up about my experience, I found that there were others who had gone through similar losses. Connecting with others who had experienced the same pain helped me feel less alone and more understood.

Grief is a journey that is unique to each individual. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and it's important to give yourself the time and space to process your emotions. It's OK to not be OK, and it's important to remember that healing is a process that takes time.
