Hi, I’m Rachel Tenpenny and I want to know what your heart needs the most.
Nathalie has asked me to contribute regularly to the Grieving Parents Support network and I’m privileged to do so. Before I get going regularly I wanted to ask you what you most need from me? Take a minute to watch my video, get to know me a bit, and then let me know how I can help you heal.
I can’t wait to hear from you! Leave a comment here or email me directly at Rachelmarietenpenny@gmail.com. Find Teamotions HERE. Get notified when Hungry For Healing launches HERE.
Hello Natalie,
Is healing really a possibility after loosing your Child. How do you heal from a life sentence of hell hurting pain and Grief. On the 3rd of March 2020 my Son would be ripped from my life 2 years. It all feels like a dream like I have lost time. What did I do in the 2 years looking back feels empty like I am. As I am typing this message I have no other thoughts of rather just giving up. But I have 2 more children to look after..
I just can’t I’m sick from the pain suddenly .. I am at a point of no return..
My husband and I are grieving the many losses along the way of caring for a terminal child. We hope we are welcome here. I’d love to learn how to deal with small losses such as inability to walk, losing hearing, now we are concerned with our child’s grief of never getting married, never graduating from college, never having kids… he is depressed and rightfully so. He’s always been a jovial child. He is actually 22 stuck in a 5-year-olds body. But he has premature aging so his body is about 85. He’s always been older socially, but he probably has an 8 yr old mentality. 2nd grade reading level. You get the picture. He has a rare syndrome-Cockayne syndrome. My husband quit his job in June 2019 to stay home w Max. He doesn’t want any regrets. I’m so proud of both of them learning & loving each other together on this journey. Please help us learn to grieve together as a couple so we continue to be the best for Max and still have a relationship together. I’m Max’s stepmom. We are close with Max’s mom & stepdad too. They too need to grieve but I feel mom is worried if she grieves now she is letting go of Max and will be giving up.
I liked hearing your story. I’m sorry for your losses- devastatingly tragic! Also sorry for your divorce. Another huge loss. Please teach us to love and grieve healthily along the way to final loss and after. You sound like you have tools & training/teaching that would be very helpful!
