I'm having a hard time with this (warning: sad)

lrn327

I've struggled for a few days about whether to post this, but just feel I need to do so.  I know the family prefers a bit of privacy so pardon my lack of details too.  A few days ago, a little girl that C went to DC with died in a fire.  They weren't in the same class (she was a bit older) but we saw her every day and the kids and parents at our DC are pretty close-knit.  One of our close friends is also a co-worker of her mom.  We often rode with them in the elevator up to DC and I remember that she was also so energetic and full of life, racing every where.  It's hard for me to fathom that I won't see her race in front of me anymore.  Even worse, I know she was without her parents when she died and that breaks my heart to know she was crying and her mom couldn't be there to comfort her crying and make it all better.  I'm particularly having a hard time right now whenever Christian cries and therefore just rubbed his back tonight until he fell asleep.  I'm a Christian (no secret there, right? :-) ) so I believe that she was comforted and taken care of, but this is all just so difficult for me to wrap my head around, particularly now that I'm a mother and can hold my child tonight.  Please keep this sweet child and her grieving family in your thoughts and prayers if possible.  The parents don't have any family nearby so our DC really was her family.

Oh my goodness that is so sad and its understandable why you'd be upset.  I'll keep them in my T&P.

That's incredibly sad.  I can't even imagine what they must be going through.

How heartbreaking!!! I have no words.

That is so heartbreaking. I can't even imagine what that family must be going through

Ugh how terrible. I'll keep you and the family in my prayers. I have a similarly difficult time when I hear of children who die from being left in a car. I just can't wrap my mind around the fear and pain they experienced. I often lay awake at night thinking about them and praying it will never happen again to another child.

how heartbreaking - thoughts and prayers to the grieving family. I would be very sad and feeling the same way you do.

That is terrible. I'm praying for that family and for you and yours as well.

Oh, man.  These things keep me up at night, too.  How awful.  That poor little pumpkin.

Thank you all for your sweet notes and for thinking of her and her family.  DH has been traveling so knew about it but couldn't put her face with her name until he saw the picture of her with her family tonight.  When he saw her picture, it hit him exactly who it was.  We're so sad for them.

I am so sorry to hear this. It truly wounds my heart every time I hear of anything bad happening to a child. It is just so wrong. T&P's with her and the family

What an incredibly sad story.  You and her family are in my thoughts.

principessa81

Oh my God that's absolutely heartbreaking. I was tearing up just reading this. My T&P are with her family. *hugs* to you too, sweetie. I'm so sorry.

How very sad. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. =(

How terribly tragic - I can't even begin to imagine what that family is going through. I will keep them in my T&Ps.

And hugs to you, too! It sounds like your DC is very close-knit & this is a loss for all of you.

Strunella

I'm so sorry for this loss...it's so heartbreaking and I'm sure so difficult for everyone who knew this sweet little girl.

tabby0521

How horribly sad. I am so sorry for her, her family and for her daycare family (you included, of course). These kinds of tragedies hit me much closer to home after having kids as well. I completely understand why you are having such a hard time. Just keep snuggling your little guy, if that helps you feel better!

GrayGhost13

I'm so sorry. T&P for her family and friends.

Sookie329

Your feelings are definitely valid.  I feel the same way when I hear things like that.  It has gotten so much harder since I became a mom.  T&P for the family, and make sure you take care of yourself.

jillybean800

It's definitely so hard now that you are a mom...it's almost like we have too much empathy now. I'm so sorry to hear about the whole situation.  I actually couldn't beat to comment on this until today...I was so stressed yesterday that hearing this really set me off and I had to gain composure to read it again. So yeah, I can't even imagine what you are going through.

jnicolen1

So sad... We'll all be holding our babies a little closer. Xo

EarsToYou

I'm so sorry to hear this.  My T&P's are with the family, you guys, and your whole DC family as well.  What a tragedy.
