I WANNA QUIT! I don’t want to be strong anymore. I don’t wanna get up and put on this fake smile. I wanna quit!
I miss my son. I want him back. I am mad at the world today! I just wanna quit!
I am tired of hiding tears. I am tired of the ones closest to me not talking to me, asking if I am okay. I just wanna quit!
I miss his face, his voice, his laugh and most of all that look he was always giving me. I just wanna quit!
Why are the days getting harder? Why are the days getting longer? Why are the nights endless? I just wanna quit!
I am tired of being alone. I am tired of this broken heart. I just wanna quit!
I am tired of hurting. I am just tired. I just wanna quit!
But I won’t quit. I am now going to get up from here and finish the laundry, start dinner and go get the girls from school. Then I am going to get ready for church and put a smile on my face so no one sees the pain and walk out the door. Too many people need me for me to quit. Thank God for them or I really would quit!
AMEN Sister! I feel that everyday. I’m tired of putting on that fake smile. I want my son back! But I know that while I am still breathing I will keep going some how.
One day we will be together again. I’m praying for you.
Yep, me too. BUT we know too many need us even as broken as we are. And we need each other. Nobody else understands us more. I am so sorry for your pain. All I can offer is a cyber hug and endless prayers for all of us and our loved ones who are grieving in their way, too. If there is anything more I can do let me know. I care and I understand.
We are warriors. The strongest of them all. Sending love x
I hear you. Our love for those here keep us going, but we all agree it takes so much energy and yes, some days, we do want to quit. But we don’t.
