Unexpected, unanticipated death of family and friends of any age is hard to accept. But when it's children, it's just so wrong, so not normal. So painful.
I had a stillborn baby--not full term--in 1989 and it crushed me. I was never the same even though a year later I was pregnant and then confined for 4 1/2 months due to complications so I wouldn't lose that child the same way I had lost our daughter a year earlier.
I still wonder what life would have been like had she been born and survived. I wouldn't have my second son. It's all so unknowable. The pride and joy I have known from being mother to the second son still doesn't cover the pain that remains from losing my daughter.
I just can't imagine sending a child off to school one day and then living the horror of having them never come home because they were murdered in their classroom. It's just unimaginable. I don't know how any of these parents manage to go on with their lives.
This country is seriously sick. Seriously messed up to refuse to fix the problem of such unlimited access to guns.
