Todd's Death (Part 2)

By Kay Heitsch

I was living in a haze and in a state of denial. I had a battle going on in my mind. I had never experienced anything like this before with the death of my mom or my dad. I was having a horrible time accepting that Todd had actually died. Grief will do this to you.

This could not be true, I kept telling myself. This kind of awful accident happens to other people, but not me!

My thoughts were racing. I found that I needed silence. Before, I had the radio or TV blasting, but now I wanted them off. The raging thoughts were all I could handle mentally.

The funeral home called and wanted clothes for Todd. I found myself in Todd's closet, looking at his clothes. Oh my gosh, this must be a nightmare! Why was I picking out clothes for Todd to be buried in? Was this really true? Was Todd actually dead? Silently, I was screaming, This is NOT true! I refuse to believe this!

But it was true. My Todd was dead.
