He feels her absence with such intensity! She was his stability, his lending ear, his conversation partner & she was also his mother. He was born with a disability at birth, Cerebral Palsy & she was meant to be there for him for a long time, to guide him through all the hurdles that life had in store for him. I know that this was her plan, that she wanted to be here for her children in mind & body but unfortunately her life cut unexpectedly short. A situation she had little control over!
Overwhelmed with sadness he coccooned himself in a capsule of silence & solitude that was seldomly entered into by another.
It's taken time & the persistance from a good mate ,my son, to crack through the hardened protective shell. This boy is once again a participant in life. He is living, laughing & having a good time. I hear them in the bedroom...the boyish wisecracks being thrown too & fro. I know that in this moment in time, at least, that he is free of his grief!
I feel his mothers presence, I know that she is happy to see him this way! To see her young man smiling once again.
He will be alright!
