Visiting Her Late Son

Each Wednesday, she visited the grave of her youngest son Thomas who she had lost too soon. The loss had not only robbed her of a son but also left Thomas’s wife, Shelby, without a husband. Both women had to learn how to navigate through life without him, and each found their own special way to go about it.

When we lose a loved one or go through traumatic experiences, we are overcome by a sense of emotional suffering. The pain that comes from profound sadness can feel overwhelming and affect daily life, making it difficult to think straight, sleep, or even eat.
