The candles are lit and I am left to think of a wish.
A better year? A wish I have asked for every rotation around the sun
No, this year feels different.
I close my eyes and the wish begins:
May this year be filled with peace
breathing stillness, exhale all anxieties
free from the traumas of the past
finding strength I didn't know I had
continue showing kindness despite it all
opening my heart, tearing down those obsidian walls
let this be the beginning of healing.
And for the love of all that is good,
don't be like 22.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
