Part 10 The Unseen Struggle of a Bereaved Mother
What does it mean to truly face the unimaginable? Our guest shares the heartrending story of losing her only child and the emotional turmoil that followed. Join us as she opens up about the surreal experience of grappling with profound loss while confronting societal pressures to return to a semblance of normalcy. Her candid recounting reflects the disconnection from reality that grief can engender and the immense challenge of navigating life's demands amidst the chaos of emotions. This discussion offers a window into the resilience required to face each day when the world expects you to just show up.
Our guest also highlights the indispensable support she received from family and friends, who were her anchors during this tumultuous time. The episode underscores the critical role those around us play in managing the logistics of loss, from funeral arrangements to day-to-day tasks. Through her vulnerability, she illuminates the often unspoken struggles of losing a child and the slow, painful path to healing. Her story is a compelling reminder of the strength in allowing oneself space and time to grieve, and the profound impact of compassion and understanding from others.
And I remember, you know, after that, you know his father had drove me home to my place in Whitland Hills with, you know, his girlfriend, and he said are you going to have someone there with you? And I said I really don't want anybody there. But he made me promise to have friends come over and I did. But you know what does anybody say at a time like that? What do you say, what do you do? And I really am the type of person that needs to be left alone to process. So after a little while I told my friends. I said you know what, thank you for coming, but please leave. I just need to be alone. I appreciate this, but I need to be by myself. And I just remember not knowing how to feel. I didn't really believe it to be real because everything had happened so fast. He went from a successful surgery to getting better to all of a sudden not being better and passing away. And then we're making these arrangements for him and it's very just numbing. And I was checked out but, weirdly enough, two days later I knew I was going to have to go back to my office.
Speaker 1:I remember talking to my business coach at the time. He said you know, just show up. You know, just do your life Show up. And I said are you kidding me? What do you mean? Just show up like nothing just happened? Your life show up. And I said are you kidding me? What do you mean? Just show up like nothing just happened? My only child just passed away. And you know I did it. I showed up to work. But I look back and I thought I shouldn't have showed up but I did. And you know I just had a few clients that day and you know my clients at the time were great people, so it was okay. And you know they're asking how I was doing and I said, fine, well, I wasn't doing, fine, but you know I played the role. And what I realized back then I would never, ever again not like, do that, not try to keep busy or just go on with life. And it's interesting because people who aren't going through a loss and haven't lost a kid, they will say just act like nothing's happened.
Speaker 1:And I experienced that a lot after my son passed and I will talk about that in other videos, because I think it's important to discuss these things. And I look back and I just needed to just be at home. But I went to work. I dressed real nice, you know, put on makeup, the whole thing. You know I'm playing Jane in all these videos no makeup, nothing, bags from allergies. But I really dressed up to the nines, went to work, put on a smile, took care of my clients and you know, afterwards went home and just didn't know what to think or what to feel.
Speaker 1:And it was very challenging, you know, at this point, because there were so many things that were happening, that I was fortunate His father really did most of the funeral arrangements and had his friends help him. So I didn't have to do a lot other than going to the funeral home and I didn't have to worry about his body being transported. And you know, so many things were taken care of. And thank goodness, because if I had to do it on my own it would not have probably been done in time. Usually I'm a doer, but this really stuck me. I was just stuck. I just couldn't, you know, really process what was happening.
