I wish...I lost my first child, a son, May 17, 1972. I wish there had been an organization to help me at that time. If there was I never found my way to it. Due to the pain and grief of losing the thing I most wanted in life, a son, I ended up back in the hospital. Unable to cope, on antidepressants, no one could understand, all the wrong things being said by others, his grave stone being placed in the wrong location.......... many years of anxiety and panic attacks. Two years later I had another son. He was and is the light of my life. The solice I have had after the birth of my second son is : if Jeffrey had lived, Jay would not be Jay, there may not have been the second son. Going thru what I did in the loss of Jeffrey made me stronger and grateful. I don't believe in a god, I do thank what ever alignment permitted me to have my second son. I would not trade that experience of watching him grow and become the man he is today, for anything. I did the best I knew how in raising him. Thanking for doing what you do, even tho it is thru pain you also began.<br />My pain is now channeled to saving animals who have no voice, destined to die by the hands of those who are supposed to save them. <br />Lynn<br />Lynnhttp://skiesofbluedesign1.shutterfly.comnoreply@blogger.com
