I always carry it with me: grief.
If your parents die, you are called an orphan. If your spouse dies, you are a widow or widower. But when your child dies, there is no word for that, other than bereaved parent.
There is no getting over grief. You carry it with you every day, through every moment. The memories you create now are filtered through thoughts wishing your child were with you to share them.
Yes, I carry my memories and often find myself remembering fondly, looking at photos, telling stories. Its just harder some days.
When your child dies, it is not the same as when a parent or sibling dies. And if you can't relate to this, thank God that you can't.
