Sometimes the word sorry just can not be enough. I looked at her and wanted to say more, but had no idea what those words would be. I saw that look in her eyes and felt sadness in her hug. She was surrounded by children's laughter and family support. The amount of family and friends there to show love was incredible. The tears dried from earlier hellos, although unseen definitely were there. The unspoken words, heard loud and clear. Her strength incredible.
There is no answer for the mysteries of life. People have their own belief system. Our beliefs are what keep us strong. Mine is simple, everything happens for a reason. I guess it's not that simple, because I see no reason for certain things. But I don 't know what the future holds, no one does. Even cruel uncertain actions have an effect which determines our future.
The loss of a loved one seems to have no reason, especially when that loved one is young.
I just wanted my friend to know that she was being thought of. There are people out there who just want to hug her, whisper "I'm sorry" in her ear. Let her know that whatever she needs, there is someone to do it for her. My sadness for her and her loss is in no comparison to her sadness and loss. And in no way would I ever begin to say I understand her sorrow.
For all those who have lost a child, I am sorry for you and your pain.
For all those who have tried to conceive and have felt the pain of a negative test, I am sorry for your pain.
For all those who have felt the excitement of conception and then experienced loss, I am sorry for your pain.
For all of you who have over come, I learn from your strength.
For all of you, let us remember to be strong for our neighbor, our friend, our co-worker, our family member.
