she/her Ma to the unfortunately late #NolanJamesDanforthDean and the live and in person Patrick and Lemon Dean. Just figuring out how to grieve properly.
I am very sorry to say this. My son Nolan lost his battle with type 1 diabetes mental illness and meth addiction today.
I'm still in shock. Please fight for better care for mental illness. I am completely broken. This is an old photo. I will miss my son forever.
It’s the times I am alone for a stretch that I miss him most. I just sit in the silence and let my mind go and that’s always where it lands, on my beautiful son. I suppose I will always miss him and I guess I wouldn’t want not to. It’s the love that doesn’t disappear.
@charb33 And with you as well. I keep you in my prayers all the time. I wish I’d had this patience when my kids were younger. I wanted to solve everything on the spot and that created stress for them. Some things aren’t solvable, just need to know someone is there. ❤️
Sometimes when your teen is moody the best thing you can do is brush her hair rub her shoulders and give her that physical love they need but can’t ask for. I’m learning.
Powerlessness is sitting with your mom who’s on bedrest for back and rib fractures and not being able to cure her physically or cure her boredom. I hope the bedrest helps her heal.
