The elephant in the room is that we are not the same after losing a child. NOTHING is the same, nor will it ever be. But there is a point in which we equalize a little bit and we find a place in life when we can breathe again. We call this the "new normal." It's a sort of baseline that we are familiar with. 

So what is your "new normal?" Maybe it's simply the ability to function day-to-day. Maybe it's feeling physically fit again. Maybe it's taking up crocheting or fishing again. Whatever it is, we can get there.
