This morning I thought about one of the reasons why each day that Mackenzie is gone gets harder. I realized that as I continue to struggle with the loss of Mackenzie, those around me continue on as they did before the passing of my daughter. Once I was a grieving mother to them that had just lost her child. Now those thoughts are no longer with them although that thought continues to be with me. While I am constantly filled with sadness, they have moved on and no longer think about or understand what I am dealing with. It seemed like people tried to tippy toe around me right after Mackenzie left. They tried to be understanding and supportive. Now, to them, I am just like everyone else. I am only what they want to see because they just can’t understand. I guess I can’t really expect them to understand either. They don’t know that my happy moments are short lived and that I only appear to be doing okay on the outside. They don’t see the constant pain and torment that I am feeling on the inside. I am the one that has changed. My life is not what it used to be. My loss has not affected most of the people that I am around. It seems to me that this is why grief is so hard to deal with on a daily basis. So few around us understand what we are dealing with because they are not grieving. Although it saddens me to know that others are dealing with a similar grief, I am thankful that these people have reached out to comfort me. I appreciate the understanding and compassion that has been shown to me during the past months. Thank you to each and every one of you.
