Life After Child LossHow Not To Feel Out Of ControlIt's only natural to feel out of control after you lose your child. The reason why you feel out of control isn't that you have less control now than you did before your child died. It's' because you are spending so much energy focused on what you can't' control, and so you lose the ability to see what you can control. You don't have to control everything to feel in control of your life. You just need to know the difference between what you can control and what you cannot and adjust your focus accordingly.
