My heart. Thinking of the loss of a child.

A FB friend posted her sorrow for her friend's loss of her 12 yr old.  A few hours later I went to let a neighbor know his dog was loose and he was shaken by the loss of his friend's 12 yr old.  Later my designer came over to look at colors and brought her son- he was afraid to be alone in the rain.  His friend drowned yesterday playing in the creek during our flooding rains.  I think about these people touched by this boy and barely allow myself to imagine what his mother and father and little sister are experiencing.  It takes my breath away.  You worry about miscarriage,  SIDS, language delays, terrible twos, but it all evens out.  I am in shock.  Here and on the news and in books the abduction/loss of a child comes up, but for some reason I'm very shaken by this in particular.  I don't know the family but I hurt and wish I could know what I could wish for them.  My little loves were smothered in my love tonight- I didn't even want to put them to bed.

    That is so heart-breaking. A family from our church recently lost their 18 y/o son (drowning). I just can't imagine.

    My heart has always hurt for people who have lost a child.  But since having dd imagining their pain has almost become unbearable.  I honesty can't imagine surviving such a loss.

    I can barely let this thought enter my head, its just unimagineable to even think for a moment.
