Loss of a Child

Forever Young

 In the backs of our minds, most of us realize that the unthinkable can happen. For me, that was the loss of her son Charlie, 23, who died of pneumonia.

“Being a parent isn’t an easy job – not just because it’s a 24/7, lifelong commitment, but also because we cannot bear to see our children hurt,” what’s even worst is saying goodbye to your child. I did so with my son Charlie, 23, to pneumonia in 2009.  

Of course, death is an experience that is common to all mankind, an experience that touches all members of the human family. I already knew that when someone close to you dies, it really hurts, and that each person reacts differently.

People have said…You must be strong.People have said,You must carry on. People have said,“You are lucky you

Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear. William Shakespeare Though not my typical article about grief and loss issues, I found the number of child deaths among our US Presidents throughout history interesting.
