We feel closer to him in Australia – Josh Baker’s parents on dealing with loss

Josh Baker was a vibrant and loving son, whose life was tragically cut short due to a sudden illness. His parents, Sarah and Michael, were left devastated by his loss, but found solace in the beauty and tranquility of Australia, where Josh had always dreamed of visiting.

“Being in Australia feels like being closer to Josh,” Sarah said. “The wide open spaces and serene landscapes remind us of him and the adventures he had planned.”

Michael added, “There is a sense of peace here that we couldn’t find anywhere else. It’s like Josh is still with us, guiding us through this difficult time.”

The couple often find themselves talking to Josh, sharing their thoughts and feelings as if he were right there beside them. They find comfort in knowing that he is watching over them from above.

“We have created a small memorial for Josh on the beach, where we go to reflect and remember him,” Sarah explained. “It’s our special place to connect with him and feel his presence.”

Despite their profound grief, Sarah and Michael have found strength in each other and in the memories they shared with Josh. They are determined to honor his legacy and keep his spirit alive in everything they do.

“Josh will always be a part of us, no matter where we are,” Michael said. “But in Australia, we feel closer to him than ever.”

As they continue to navigate the complexities of loss, Sarah and Michael are grateful for the support and love they have received from friends and family, who have helped them through this difficult time.

“We take each day as it comes, and lean on each other for strength,” Sarah said. “Josh may be gone, but his memory and love will never fade.”

Through their grief and healing process, Sarah and Michael have discovered a new sense of resilience and gratitude for the time they shared with Josh. Australia has become a place of solace and connection for them, a reminder of the enduring bond they share with their beloved son.
