cried during thanksgiving dinner

carolinag

thinking of Christopher, Keta, and their family. My heart just aches....

I don't know why I'm even putting this out here. I just feel like you guys are the only ones who understand, and are feeling the same sadness. Love to you all and all of your little ones.

I nearly broke down in tears last night at dinner with DH's family. It's just all hit so close to home.

I can't stop thinking about it either.  My DS had a fever of 103 on Thursday too and I just shudder to think.. Love to you and yours

My son is sick too and it kills me to think of any mother losing their son.

I can't get it out of my mind either...I told DH about it and he could barely read through the OP!  We had a family hug and said how thankful we are for our family.

i am having a really hard time too.  i am so thankful for my children and loving them extra hard today - but it's so hard to be joyful.  my heart aches so badly.

i was going to take the rest of the week off the bump but i feel like i have to be around where other people are grieving like me.

I can't stop thinking about it either. It just breaks my heart to even imagine what her, her DH and their family are going through.

It made me slow down a bit. Today I didn't worry about getting dinner on the table in time, or impressing my IL's, or stressing over stupid stuff. I just relaxed, took my time, and most importantly enjoyed my little girl.

I held Charlotte for her entire 2.5 hour nap today for the first time in almost a year. I just couldn't put her down.

I have been crying on and off since reading her post...

You know I don't even know them and my heart breaks for them. I can not even imagine what they are going through.  My mom who lost my brother said there is nothing worst than loosing your child.  I'll never forget at my brothers funeral, he was 42, my mom looked at her friend and said I lost my baby.

I've been upset about it all day. Everything I type, I erase because I just can't seem to find the words to express myself in this situation. I keep coming back to the bump for the same reason as you carolina - it's odd and people IRL don't understand but I do feel like we are all grieving to some extent.

It all just hits so close to home - esp with how ill O was with swine flu a few weeks ago. I remember how sick he was one night and how I started crying because I didn't know what to do. I asked my husband, how do we know if he needs to go the ER? I felt so helpless. Lucky for us, he got better. I don't know things happened they way they did for keta but I am devasted and furious for her all at the same time. NO ONE should have to go through what she is faced with.

I feel the same way. I don't post very much but this just breaks my heart.

I didn't read the post till 830pm last night. Called my mother in tears. I just can't comprehend how this can happen. My DH didn't get home till 11pm from work so when I went to bed I got DS and brought him with me. I had to hold him and I just cried. DH got home and was like "what is he doing, etc." cause he is never in our bed. I just broke down again. I watched my DS today and all I could think about was how she will never watch her DS do those things again. It's so wrong. On so many levels.

I'm so heartbroken for this mother and father that I have never met. I feel so helpless and all I want to do is help..it's so hard to explain. It's just devastaing and I'm glad I got this out.

This. I've been on the edge emotionally so when we had a little drama at dinner...I broke down into a mess. My family thinks I'm crazy. Can't help it though. My heart is broken for her.

I, too have been having a hard time--it's nice to know I'm not alone.  I have had a sick, sad feeling ever since hearing the news and have been tearing up all day.  My heart truly breaks for her--I just can't stop t hinking about her & her family.

They've been on my mind since I heard the news, as well. ?My heart aches for her.

Removing siggy now.?

It's so horrible...I can't even imagine.  When my son had the swine flu I just cried when the doctor told me because I was terrified.  They acted like it was no big deal, but you just never know.  My heart goes out to her.  What's that saying, once a mother, you are everyone's mother or something like that?

I just feel sick for them.  It is truly unimaginable.

LilMissLadybug

I feel sick after reading that. I had just sent DD to time out, I had her come sit on my lap and was in tears. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child.

I've also been really sad. I thought about it all day today. It truly breaks my heart that that happened to him. So young, and so tragic.

I just logged on for the first time in a few days and I read the updates.  I am shaking and feel like I am going to throw up.  The way that Keta described her baby sounded so much like how I would describe my darling boy.  My heart just ACHES for her and her family.

Many many prayers to her and her family.

I too just logged on for the first time since Wednesday morning, and I can't even believe it. So unbelievably tragic. My heart breaks for them.

DD woke up twice last night. I've never been so glad to have a crying toddler to go and comfort.

It's terrifying how fast things can change and how fragile life is.

My daughter had a fever all last weekend, it was over 103 at one point.  My nephews had the same thing the week prior so I didn't even think into it more than it being just a virus.  I'm glad my daughter beat it, but their story is really breaking my heart.  I feel so bad for them and I'm still crying after ready the post.  I am sending them thankfullness of the time they had their child and hope they can get through this horrible time. 

I'm still crying.
