The meaning

I admit to you now that in the past when I heard someone talk about how they had needed to mourn and bury their child I would shudder and thank god i'd never known that pain. My kids all made it thru, I said, thank god. UntilĀ  last wednesday when I learned from some distant mumbling becoming shattered glass in my brain: my first born daughter 34 was killed by electrocution stepped on hot line. life forever changed

rocking you gently and crying with you, counti. the fourth anniversary of my youngest son's traffic death at age 35 is next month and those "pieces of shattered glass" are still working their way out of my brain. maybe. some days i think i am **simply** adapting to the presence of those glass shards in my brain. raising his 3 young orphans has given me a sense that i need to leave those pieces of shattered glass available for their education. the baby just started pre-k this week. mommy and daddy are hot topic in pre-k and? ? ? she is not too familiar with that concept. let the education begin.

Big hugs, this is just terrible. I can't imagine the pain. Let yourself grieve as you need to. See help as you need to.

Dear,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. I can't imagine the pain you must be feeling right now. I know that you said you never thought you would understand the pain of losing a child, but I want you to know that you are not alone. There are many people who have been through this experience and can offer you support. I am sure there are many people who care about you and want to help.


I know that nothing I can say will make this pain go away, but I want you to know that I am thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.

With love.
PS: I had received help from you on this platform through your kind words. I want to let you know that I have saved your wisdom-words and I make efforts everyday to follow that and apply them in my life. Thank you.
