The death of a child: A parent’s worst nightmare

[Tsiyu]

31. xchrom, you always post the best threads

and this one is so needed right now.

To all those who have lost their babies - and they are always our babies -

I recently found out an old friend lost his son a few years ago. I asked him how he dealt with that. He said he wanted to kill himself many times, but he would set a date a month or so ahead, and each time he made it to that date, he set another date, until he didn't feel that way any more.

Even when there are other children, as with my friend, that loss is so profound and wrong, it twists the mind.

My condolences to all parents who have lost their babes.
