HAving lost two children in the past 3 years I can feel the pain. Our daughter lived 11 days after having a terrible car accident we had to let her go She was 35 In the prime of life.. Our son died in Aug of this year of brain cancer after bravely fighting it for 6 years.. You are so right. The grief comes in waves.. just when you think you are ok something reminds you and the aching pain comes back I wish I could say something to help But I cant Just live for them..

Thank you. You are so right in this. I recall holding my terminally ill son, while watching on TV, the world leaders decide the validity of invading Iraq. As my family was fighting its own life and death battle, it seemed ludricous that people were debating how to avoid or cause more mayhem. Perhaps if someone could have spent a few days with our family while we fought to help our infant son take his next breath…….who knows.
