Bio
I am a (single) mother struggling to grieve and mourn the loss of my son. There is an equal amount of love and passion to celebrate how fortunate I was to ever have my son, Lee "Harrison" Hanson, even for a short time. It's been 5 months since his passing (April 16, 2011) and I have not found that groups or traditional therapy practices have helped me. I've been writing and wondering what the best outlet for the writing might be. I wrote 20 chapters towards a fiction-style book. But, ultimately, I think that this will be a good way to personally reach people and let them see another person who's going through a loss - a person outside but intimately familiar with what you've experienced.
I know I'm still in the midst of getting "through" this life-altering experience but I'm out of the worst of it and I wanted to share what I went through - not because your story will be the same at all...but, because I couldn't find anything documenting the range of emotions that parents feel when left behind on this Earth without the bodily presence of their child. Because I didn't want to join the groups...and you may not either but I DID want information on the roller coaster emotions. So, I hope this helps you during the darkest days and know that there will be life worth living again - and sooner than you might think. ~ Kristina
