Sherry,
I just read your story for the first time. I am so so so sorry that you have to go through this and I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter. We lost our first son, Gabriel, in 1991. We didn't have any other children then, although we have three now. I know that the grief is just unbelievable and I know exactly what you meant when you said you weren't done being a mommy to her yet. I remember lying on the floor in his room thinking of all the dreams I had for him and all the memories that wouldn't ever be made.

I did attend a support group for a little while, too. It was helpful and I hope you are able to find some comfort.

Please remember that your son is going through as much as you are, maybe more. He probably isn't really able to verbalize his feelings quite as effectively or quite as much as you are. You are getting a lot support and a place to talk about this. He may not be getting quite as much. People might not know what to say to him. Please give him an outlet to discuss this-- maybe grief counseling? Sometimes, some of the hospitals that offer grief support have similar programs for children held at the same time as the adults.

Good luck, Sherry. You and your son are in my thoughts.

Sherry, you have been in my thoughts and prayers since it happened! It is true that you are literally living every mother's nightmare! I cannot imagine that there is a greater pain than losing a child. My heart breaks for you and your family! I think it is true that "when a child dies, every mother cries!" (but that goes for others who aren't mothers as well I believe!) I cannot tell you how much I have cried reading what happened and then reading your posts on this thread. It really doesn't seem fair and I know it can't possibly make sense.

I am glad you found a grief support group and I hope that it continues to help. Also know that you are in everyone's thoughts and prayers and I am pretty sure nobody believed you left Macy. I understand wanting and needing to clarify that though! Your loss was Heaven's gain...and you will be together again one day! But for now, you are here because your son needs you and probably for a lot of other reasons that aren't quite as clear yet! We love you and will continue to pray for you!
