@john_newty6779 absolutely... holding Ben and your family in my mama heart.

[Suzanne Galante @sgalante]

Sounds like a grief hangover...

[john newton @john_newty6779]

It's taken a couple of days to get some sort of normality back after Ben's heavenly birthday on Sunday,
We did our best to make the day go as good as it could .
Also I took great comfort from the messages of support from you other bereaved parents, thankyou

Yup, he probably would've mocked my son who loved baseball, but couldn't run fast to first base. #Grief #CHD #Childloss #Kamala2024

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Flashback to November 2015 when Trump mocked a disabled reporter. This should have been the end of Trump’s political career.

Today we learned that Donald Trump said that disabled people “should just die.”

How can anyone vote for this psychopath?

I'd add "memory loss" to this list. #Grief

It only just occurred to me that #thief rhymes with #grief.

13 years ago today, my beautiful Alice was born.

2 years later, we threw her an epic birthday party.

11 days after her second birthday, she took a nap and never woke up.

@SUDC is a thief and affects approx 400 kids/yr. 🧵

What a good friend! Being in nature tames the crazy. Looks like a beautiful spot to regroup. #Childloss #Grief

[Michaela Taylor @MamaMichaelax]

Spiralled last night. Not to the point of crisis, but I needed to ground myself.

Headed to the beach, recommended by a friend. It did me wonders, listening to the wind, feeling the sand under my feet. A perfect experience.

So thankful to not jump to crisis any more.

Politics aren't like #grief. Because in politics, it turns out you can replace a person with another person. #HarrisForPOTUS #childloss #ThankYouBiden

Happiness X Between Two Kingdoms
Marriage, loss & endless beginnings
Our son’s heart defect pushed us away from each other & towards escapism. He rolled toward cycling; I sashayed to the dancefloor. In time, we polish shattered pieces & find that broken isn't bad #SmallPitch #MEM

When our beautiful #rescue dog died, I was strangely relieved that she didn’t have more birthdays than my son. #Childloss #Grief #RileyForever

[Suzanne Galante @sgalante]

"Riley, over here!" I stop and watch, half expecting to see you chasing your brother. Children with your name are everywhere I go... even in this hotel lobby where I'm working. #childloss #everywhereandnowhere #RileyForever #grief

Big snotty cries can be so satisfying... #childloss

[Suzanne Galante @sgalante]

Riley died almost 10 years ago and this is still true. #Childloss

[Mrs Prickles 💕🦔 @Prickles54]

Something I've learned about #grief since the death of my husband 8.5 months ago. Sometimes it wears soft slippers, creeps up on you & gentle tears flow. Other times it wears hobnail boots & smacks you right in the guts & you collapse sobbing, wracked with pain #bereavement

[Suzanne Galante @sgalante]

Awesome that your medical team is hearing you and that your dude is feeling supported. Huge.

[Amy's Opening for Submissions June 12th, 2026 @AmyNielsen06]

This Week in ABA: My #Autism son's been additionally diagnosed with OCD and Encopresis. We're SO grateful for his team of therapists who hold our hands through these early days. Most importantly, they tell him, "Bro, we're here for YOU!" He knows he has a support system.

All of the days are hard and some are harder than others. #Grief #childloss

[john newton @john_newty6779]

Suddenly today a huge wave of grief has hit,the thought of Ben's heavenly birthday on Sunday is weighing heavy on my mind. We as a family will do our best for Ben but it's extremely difficult 😢

[Suzanne Galante @sgalante]

7 years, 7 months, 7 minutes, 7 breaths... they are all impossible when the one you love is gone.
