In the past week and a half we’ve received lots of teary-eyed
hugs with the comment, “We/I don’t know what to say!” You know what…that’s okay! I’m glad people don’t know what to say
because that would mean they know what we are feeling from experience and we
are so glad that is not the case. Thankfully experiencing the death of a child is not a natural or common thing in our society.
We
hope people can share their sympathy, thankfully not their empathy. I’m not sure there are ever ‘right words’ in
a situation like this. For us a quiet
hug and gentle smile shows both love and support and that is what we need the
most.
