Something DD said

weddedwife · April 2012

The other day DD fell down on the concrete and skinned her knee & elbow. After I applied bandaids, she looked thoughtfully at me and asked, "If we give baby brother a bandaid can he come home?" Ugh. I wanted to die. Instead I kept it together as best I could and explained that while I wish he could come home, no a bandaid would not fix baby brother.

She should be learning all about what it's like to have a baby brother right now. Instead, she's learning about death. I ache for her loss too, and what she doesn't even know she's missing. This sucks.

Unfortunately those of us with other children are unable to shield them from the tough realities. Great job at staying strong and not breaking down. I know it is tough trying to explain it to your child. *hugs*

oh, the painful lump in your throat conversation! one day my son randomly told me that he wants to die so he can go to heaven to see Baby Jacob. I kept it together and we ended up having an interesting conversation, but it's heartbreaking.

I am so sorry it is so hard trying to deal with our grief then add children to it is even harder. My 4 yr old daughter is like that she asks a ton of questions while my 18 yr old has issues with the loss of Sydney. He has changed so much since she died I know it is because he is mad at god or the world who knows but I can't help either one of them at all and it sucks. Hugs to you !!

Hugs to you! My DD always seems to bring up her little sister on the days that I am feeling the saddest. I always choke back the tears since she is so sensitive and thinks that she has said something wrong to make me upset. Oh how I wish we change all of our fates and shield our children from this heartache!
