I have had 2 friends I went to high school with have their children pass away in the last 6 months. It's just too devastating to even contemplate.
One is blogging her experiences. You can read it here. It's almost therapy for her and she writes so elloquently and with such a passion that only a mother going through this can. I have known her since year 4 and as much as we are not best friends any more, we remain in touch.
The other one is just recent. I didnt know him too well, but I know he was completely dedicated to his children. So much so that he brought them to the last 2 reunions (10 and 20 year). He is facebooking his daily struggle and it is just heartbreaking.
It is my biggest fear that something happens to my girls. I also live with the fear that something happens to me and they grow up without me.
These two experiences have gutted me and I think of them daily. Go hug your kids.
Oh. This just breaks my heart. I can't go and read because it is so sad. I am sorry for what they must go thru. How very, very sad.
