On Saturday 22 January my Son called me early morning to tell me that his Son died as they slept the night before. I have wanted to share this with you nice people here but haven't come up with a good way to do so. I wrote this as an attempt to. It isn't one of my better works but it does share my feelings somewhat. Thank you for listening. Snowdancer ______________________________________________________________ There is something that seems completely unfair about someone who is 2 Moons & 2 Days old going to the next life. Every parent knows the dread feeling that lurks in knowing that fate could cause you to have to bury your child but when that skips so far to an infant Grandson it seems even more senseless for it to happen. Sure, you have the knowledge that it was just his time. He only needed a little time to finish some little piece of corporeal being before reaching Nirvana. Sure, you know that he was innocent if the next life is the Heaven/Hell scenario he was already resting comfortably in Heaven so long before the Devil knew he was dead that it he didn’t have a chance to react. I doesn’t take away the anger, the sorrow, the pain of not knowing this wonderful little person, seeing him grow, of hearing his giggles, his words, him. SIDS is a careless fate. Taking those who haven’t had a chance to be & leaving their family with only sadness, no real answers, no real solace. I hope I never see it again.
I am so sad to hear this. It is so hard to understand, especially when it happens so early and so suddenly. your grandson will be in my prayers.
There's absolutely nothing I can say to make you feel better; I know. I would gladly cut off my hand if I thought I could undo your grief. Of course it won't. I'm so sorry for your position. The greiver must always stand alone while maintaining the responsbility for the well-being of other loved ones. Your tenacity, courage, intregity, and judgement WILL carry you through this to meet the daily challenges that arise.
So sad.I have recently been dealing with the losses of adult relatives as well as the "loss" of a grandparent to alzheimers.I cannot imagine the grief of losing one so young. My deepest heartfelt sympathy to you in this time.
I am so sorry. There are no words. Blessings for you and your family, the baby's parents, and for the soul of this sweet baby.
I felt a chill as I read this. I can't imagine ever having to experience the loss of any child for any reason. Love and peace to you and your family.
so sorry to hear such sad news and thankyou for sharing with us such an intimate part of your life and feelings, your words are moving and beautoful, I hope that you are feeling helped by expressing them and sharng them with us. My love to you and your son and family that are feeling so sad....
I cried to read it. God, it just reminds me of how lucky I am. Thank you for that. Unfortunately, it also reminds me of how much I have to lose now that I have a little puff boy There's nothing I can say that won't seem trite I know, but I still want to offer my heartfelt empathy and sympathy
I cried, too. I don't know what to say. I can't possibly even begin to imagine how that must feel. Horrible, I know, but I just can't possibly comprehend the emotion. I guess I live in a very sheltered universe. A universe where children just don't die. Because that's the way things should be. Why is it that so often there is a gigantic gap between what it should be and what it is? I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
