Hello everyone My name is Alema I’m dealing with an unexpected loss of my first son Elijah, Losing my son Elijah has been the most heartbreaking and unimaginable pain I have ever experienced. The loss of a child is a different type of pain and suffering, There are no words strong enough to describe the emptiness that settled in the moment he left this world.

Elijah was my heart and Right hand, my son was a beautiful soul walking outside my body full of light, laughter, big dreams, and love always making jokes and picking fun, Every day with him was a gift, and I carry the weight of his absence in everything I do. I miss his smile that could light up a room, his voice calling my name (mom) his big tight hugs that made everything feel okay. I replay the memories we shared, holding onto them TIGHT the sound of his laughter, the way his eyes lit up when he would see me or when he talked about the things he loved, the comfort of just being near him. it feels impossible to keep going without him in this lifetime yet I do and will, because I know that’s what he would want for me to live in a way that honors his spirit.

I am asking for some help with funding my son’s funeral, due to a lot of time off work from a most recent injury paying the expenses for his funeral will be a lot, whatever anyone can donate will be kindly accepted and so much help, Elijah will always be a part of me, deeply etched into my soul. Though I can no longer hold him in my arms, he will always be my baby in this lifetime and the next, I hold him in my heart forever and always loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.
