The Unhealed Wound Can Time Really Heal?
Time is often said to heal all wounds, but for us, time has only deepened our sorrow. Watching our 28-year-old daughter slip away, powerless against the relentless grip of the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), commonly known as mono, left us feeling utterly helpless. From February to May 27, we witnessed the swift and cruel decline of her body, shutting down despite all efforts to save her.
The grief we bear is indescribable. People tell us that time heals, but we know better. Wounds might heal, but they always leave scars. Our daughter's scar is etched with memories that linger in every corner of our lives. I see her everywhere, feel her presence, and catch her scent. How does a parent navigate life after the loss of a child? The truth is, we don't. We endure, carrying the weight of grief that never truly heals.
As a mother, I find it impossible to stop grieving. The pain is an inseparable part of me now. But amidst this unbearable sorrow, I hope to do something to carry on her legacy. In every step I take, I strive to honor her memory, to ensure that her spirit continues to shine even in her absence.
Grief is real, and it stays with you forever. For parents like us, there is no delusion of healing. Instead, we find ways to live with the scars, cherish the memories, and keep our beloved daughter's essence alive in our hearts and actions.
Your anguish is palpable...your loss agonizing. No parent should have to go through this! May the memories of the time you had your daughter heal your wounds and fill the gaping void that she has left behind.
