Be Alive

Living on after losing a child means having a different state of existence. This is my bereavement life.

Life after losing a child is a new existence.

At first it feels like you can’t go on.

No one can imagine or prepare for the way it feels to lose your own child.

But you are still here and life does go on. Eventually you will remember how to Be Alive.

Love, Susan

about Susan

I am first and foremost a mother to four beautiful daughters. My first born, Cameron, died in a tragic accident at age five. My husband and I have raised our other three daughters in Northwest Arkansas where I am a pediatrician. In 2014, I started the nonprofit Parents Left Beind to support and encourage parents on their lifelong journey of grief following the death of a child.

Everytime parents share the story of their child’s death, I think it is the worst story I ever heard.
