This is an excerpt of LOST to FOUND: Surviving the Death of Your Child by Basia Mosinski, available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1720222657
Often in grief circles we hear the term ‘loss’, as if our child or loved one is somehow ‘lost’ to us. The person who is LOST is us…the parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings, wives or husbands, after our child or loved one has died. We’re lost, yet, if we open to the mysteries of the grief journey, we can build a new self from the shards.
