A step closer to peace

I’m currently in school & will be graduating in May with my BSW. In class everyone had to do a “Bio psycho social” presentation, which is pretty much a summary of your life. I contemplated on whether or not I should share about my son passing away...but as I was in the moment I ended up just saying it because we all have been together for two years in the same classes and they all were able to watch my journey as my little peanut grew inside of me. When I came back after giving birth everyone would ask me about him and I would just say “he’s good” it was my first time sharing with a group so it was tough, but I couldn’t believe how touched everyone was. Everyone was so sadden and couldn’t believe it. I won’t lie I felt so relieved once I was able to talk about it with others and to hear they’re encouraging words. My son passed away 3 months ago and all I’ve done is “sucked it up” & be the stronger person....during our next class session one of my classmate gave me this book and my eyes filled with tears as I was so thankful for the gesture. I know this is just the beginning, but I feel like this has helped me to consider getting professional help. I’m aware of the long journey of grieving & do want to find the courage to heal the right way.
