I shouldn't understand

[andrewsmommy]

I was watch a program today and a father lost his daughter at age four. The tears in his eyes brough tears to my own. I shouldn't understand his pain, but I do.

I saw a commercial today, it was for cancer, a mother was talking about how she would do anything to have her daughter back. I shouldn't understand how that feels, but I do.

I shouldn't understand so much about the world, but I do. The pain of loss. The ache of longing. I am to young to have to understand such things. No parent should every have to understand the things I do, but there are just so many of us out there that do.

I am amazed and overwhelmed by just how many of us there are and my heart breaks each and every time I am faced with someone else who understands. I guess I am just feeling a bit overwhelmed today, hormones and all I am sure. I just had to get these observations and feelings out so they don't overwhelm me.

I wish none of us had to know or understand the utter sorrow of child loss.

I love this site dearly - but I would give anything in the world to never have had a reason to find it. I hate that I tear up for every happy & sad thing involved with anyone's child.

I agree with Brie, as much as I cherish everyone here, if it meant everyone having their precious babies in their arms, I would give the world. They say that God doesn't give you more than you can handle, did he hand pick us? You are right no one should have to understand this type of pain.
I hope you are feeling better..be easy on yourself!

HUGS,

I know what you all mean!! Sheesh, are we the "special ones" that God knew could handle more than others or what!!
I get irritated as much as anyone about thoughtless things that people say, but in a way, I guess I should be glad that they do not know my pain. I mean, they would have to have lost a child to understand...and I don't wish that on anyone. At the same time, I wish they were more sensitive.
I know one thing, Mindie, I understand the world a lot differently than I used to...and I don't like it.

No mother should have to bury their children and bear this pain that nothing can fix. I too like SG but I am so sorrry we all have to gather here.

Sometimes I feel too stupid to cope with life knowing what I know now....
