Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

One life. Six words. What’s yours?™

Sleep my escape from sadness, grief.

Backstory

My son's grandmother died yesterday. She was so much more than that. She took me in when I was 17 and pregnant. My own family told me to leave. She treated me as her own.

So sorry for your loss. ((Hugs))

DynamicDbytheC says,

That is a huge loss. I have only been loved unconditionally by one person, James. To have the possibility of losing him and in your case having lost that person, is unbearable. Sometimes I think more sleep means less pain. Hang in there. Thinking of you. I hope you can grab onto the good memories of her and I for one know that she is part of you. She created a beautiful, loving, productive member of society.
