PDA

View Full Version : Falling apart at the seams

When will I be able to look at a pregnant woman and not let it bother me?
When will I stop crying when I talk about it?
When will it get better?
When will I be able to walk past the baby clothes section in a store?
When will I be able to look at a baby and not feel my crushing loss?
When will I stop wishing that God would have taken me along with my baby?
When will God make me whole again?
When will the sadness fade from my eyes?
When will I realize that other people have problems too and know that those are important problems to them?
When will I not feel like smacking someone when they say that the worst thing that ever happened to them was over something material? (Really, you had your semi repossessed and it was a crushing blow and the worst thing that ever happened to you? Geez, aren't you lucky? Do you have any idea what a REAL LOSS is? Do you cry yourself to sleep over it? Can you never look at a semi again? Does it make you want to throw up and tell that semi driver that he is the luckiest person and that he should be careful not to get too excited about it because you never know what could happen?)
When will this dam finally break? Slowly it has leaks here and there but I fix them in time so that the whole thing doesn't fall down.
Will I ever stop being angry about it?
Will I ever stop looking at parents that can't/don't take care of their kids and thinking what in God's name makes you worthy?

I guess I'm just hitting a rough patch and yet again I need to get it together because in 15 minutes I need to be in class with 23 8 year olds and pretend that I want to be here instead of at home, in bed, in the dark, dying.

Dear Serenity's Mommy,

Reading your post my heart breaks for you. I won't pretend to understand your pain, I've never suffered this kind of loss but I want you to know I am praying for you right now as I write this. Your courage and the courage of so many others continues to amaze me. When these little ones become angels I think all the mothers become angels here on earth, your courage to face each day sends out a powerful message to the rest of us that we shouldn't take a single day, a single moment, a single hug, a single kiss for granted. I pray God will comfort you and wrap His loving arms around you in your time of need and carry you when you don't have the strength to walk by yourself. My prayers will continue to be with you today and each day.

Tammy

How can I begin to tell you how this touches my heart? I want to put my arms around you and just hold you and hug you! My heart aches for your pain. Tammy is right, your courage amazes me as well and I am so proud to be apart of all of this. I will keep you in my prayers and hope today is better than yesterday and tomorrow gets easier as well. When you are ready, let the dam break, let the tears flow hard and free, so more healing can begin. For you, for Serenity.
God bless you...

Genelle,
My heart breaks for you, I wish I could take away the pain.
But I hope this helps.
At the funeral for Dan ( a student from Virginia Tech)here in Rhode Island, Father Peterson said " It will never be easy, but with the passage of time and a pass through each of the seasons, it will become less difficult. The scar tissue will remain, but the wound will heal gradually."
I pray that you find peace and comfort.
Hugs

Serenity's Mommy,

Oh how I wish my 8 year son was a student of yours today. His loving arms would be wrapped around you. I know your pain, I know your heartache, I know your loss. It's so painful sometimes that it seems that tomorrow seems so far away and yet people tell us tomorrow it will get better. The fact is tomorrow it may not be better - but our hope is that it will get better with time. Lora is right let your dam break...it's time! We try so hard to stay strong but at some point we need to let it out.

You are incredibly brave to work through your day blessing those children with your presence - I pray your night is filled with butterfly kisses from Serenity!

Thinking of you and praying for peace!
