The pain of Loss & the Joy of New Life!

0 Recommendations

I know the pain that bites you in the deepest part of your being when you loose a child. I delivered our first son on June 22, 1972; stillborn. Then we lost another child in an automobile accident on my birthday in August 1973. I thought it could not get worse, but I delivered our stillborn daughter on June 21, 1974. So I truly do understand the pain of loss.

Then on June 17, 1975, I enjoyed the birth (c-section) of our son. He was small (only 5 lbs. 1-1/2 oz.), but he was alive. Today he is 34 years old and what a JOY!

I was blessed again on September 13, 1976 with another son who is now 33. Both boys have brought me such sweetness to my life. They have blessed me in a way that truly makes me 'tear-up'!

My advice for others is to hang-in there, and allow the pains & joys of life come as they may. None of us can predict how our lives will actually turn out. However, I do believe if you just hang on, life has a way of surprising you! Love each other every day and never give up!
