Profound words of a mother who lost her son. Hope Armstrong Place, thank you for permission to share your heart.

So, I have been asked so many times, 'Hope. How do you deal with the loss of a child?'
For those who have lost one or even two....you know the feeling, day in and day out. For those of my friends and love ones who have not felt this loss, I have thought long and hard on how to explain how I feel and how I deal with it.
It's like my life is a jigsaw puzzle with many pieces. I have lost a Piece that I can never find or get back. My puzzle continues to grow with many new pieces, but that one piece that completes my puzzle, will never be found, not until the day I die, only then, will my puzzle be truly complete!
That Missing piece can sometimes drive you insane. But you step back, view the whole puzzle, and realize you are still collecting new pieces. But you know, you will get that missing piece to complete your puzzle, only when you have finished putting that puzzle together, and not a day before!!!!
