>>>>>We do not recover from the death of a child...we heal.
Part of the healing process is accepting that not only has our own life
changed,but we are becoming different people.We may look the same as before
our child died.We look at life in a new way.We have more understanding and
compassion.We cannot know why sad things happen.We can only know that
nothing beautiful in this world is ever really lost because all precious
things live in memory forever<<<<<<<<<
I agree with this. None of us can change what has happened to us and some
of us never would, but we can either choose to shrivel up and die with the
pain of it all or use the pain to grow and learn from our precious little
ones. I personally have chosen to make Louise's life worthwhile by
honouring her memory every day and continuing to make memories and remember
her as the beautiful little girl she was. It doesn't mean I don't miss her
so much or wonder why God chose us to have such a special little girl in our
lives. I just think if I had chosen to wallow I would still be there and I
wouldn't have come to the realisation that my 5 month old developmentally
delayed baby could be such a great teacher!! or that because of her I would
meet hundreds of the most caring, sharing and beautiful people in the whole
world!!! I believe I am continuing to be healed and will never totally heal
until we meet our little girl again so it is still a process for me, but I
have accepted that my life was irrevocably changed the day Louise Ruth Pass
made her dramatic entrance!
Don't worry about the world coming to an end tomorrow it's already tomorrow
