My daughter will never get over the loss of her friend Elijah, and as she nagivates through life without him, each milestone reaches will never be as joyful as it should be because he will never experience it along with her. Each milestone is one step further away from him and it’s a struggle to not feel guilty for growing up without him. She wonders what she could have done differently. She always will.

I’m sure this will get lost in the many reposts, but wanted to share a little how, even if it feels like you don’t matter, someone loves you so much that your loss would matter. You are important to someone.
