Parenting after 35

NPR - (SAD) hug your babies tight

As a parent, I hate hearing stories about children getting hurt (or worse).  I have always been a softie about this kind of stuff and it affects me so much more now that I am a mom.  A co-worker and friend lost a 6 year old family member last weekend to a freak accident... and had to attend the funeral yesterday.  I ache for this little girl's parents and family, I can't even imagine what they are going through or how they are going to pick up the pieces.  It makes me want to go snatch T  from school right now and squeeze her extra tight.

  • So so sorry for your friend.  I have panic attacks just thinking if something bad ever happened to Charles.  I would be completely devastated for life.

  • So sad for your friend. Hugs, T &P's to them.

    I have to think of something to say/do to commemorate a friends ds on Friday. She lost him 10 years ago in a car accident, she was driving, her mom didn't make it, her older ds didn't make it, but her and her younger ds did. I am already getting weepy thinking about it, it still seems like yesterday. Not right that parents outlive their child.

  • I know what you mean. Last week I heard about someone's 3 yr old daughter drowning in a pool while the grandfather, who was supposed to be watching her, had fallen asleep. The pain of losing a child must be unimaginable. I don't even let my mind go there. When I heard that news, I went right over to my LO and kissed him from head to toe!! Thank goodness we don't have a pool.
