The pain rages on and on, this is the terrible truth. The wrong words offered are clumsy but well intentioned. Yet, no matter how hard I tried to remind myself of that, it didn't make the wrong words offered to me, any less stinging. People truly don't know what to say. There should be a course in school on what is right and what is intolerable to say to a grieving parent, but, there isn't. And yes, oddly, some of my closest friends and relatives pulled away and some never even returned. I believe the thought of losing a child was so terrifying to them, that they thought it might be contagious and so, they fled. But, Karen, it is now 17 years since my huge basket (that turned into a trunk) of cards, letters and angel trinkets came to my mailbox and I have yet, to find the courage to re-read them. I am not sure I ever will. Love to you on your most broken days and the ones where you come together for even a few minutes....

And I don't think I would ever feel peace about it either.zinniashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784556585438651208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941114158855236323.post-11943910157975802742012-11-28T21:42:13.854-08:002012-11-28T21:42:13.854-08:00In all sincerity Karen, I am so sorry :(
