Feeling Crazy


I hesitate to share my latest grief story. I wonder: Will you be shocked by the crazy thoughts I once had when I was deep in grief for my son, Thomas? I have already written about my baby’s funeral a number of times.  But I have never told anyone what I was thinking on that sorrowful day. And I have never spoken about the next day, the day after the funeral, when I returned alone to visit my son.  

My story is about a grief crazy mother, a mother who can look normal, even smile, when people are around, but later when all alone… The grief pours out unrestrained and strange thoughts come and go, thoughts that others might consider mad. 

Do all bereaved parents have such moments and such thoughts? I don’t know. Maybe we all hide such things inside of us, not wanting to admit we feel we are going out of control. 

Please share my story, Feeling Crazy at my blog Sue Elvis Writes
