What is "NORMAL"?

Everyone talks about the "new normal" after you lose a child. I don't believe "normal" will ever return to my house after my 18 year old son, Max, was killed in a car crash on 8/6/10. "Normal Died With Max", and this blog is about the life I have without him.

Thanks!

My mom was making dinner the other night, and was in the middle of cooking before it hit her that the meal she was making was one of Max's favorite.  She said she pitched it and ate something else.  As she told me this small grieving moment, it helped me in so many ways!!  It showed me that it was okay to still be struggling over the little things that are forever changed now.  It showed me that others are still grieving Max.  It showed me that his life and his likes MATTERED.  His death was so senseless .... I want every detail of his life to be completely opposite.  Please don't ever be afraid to share ANY small thing with a grieving parent - they want to hear it!!
