EVERY 3 MINUTES A CHILD DIES. How do you feel about that?
108608
It is a very upsetting topic even more so for me I just had a baby and to look at all the things that could happen to her while shes so little is a scary feeling but you have to look at it like this....if its gods will she can go at anytime no amount of medicine or making sure shes sleeping on her back or anything else can really change that .....but as a mother your going to go that extra mile and make sure that you do anything in your power to keep her safe anyway. We tend to not worry about anything unless it hits home insted of thinking of it in terms as we are all family and should help one another out..but people want what they want...spend there money how they want(and to be honest they should its theirs) but to show a little Compassion to someone else should be a bigger reward then that new DVD player or those $200.00 doller shoes but your only one person and your not going to change everyones mind so the best you can do it what you can do and teach your kids to do they same a little help is better then none at all......Is it fair...no...but then again life is not always fair to any of us...there rich people now who have money coming out their ass but still we see them commit suscide and kill others...who was there to help that indvisual? People should take care of people no matter who they are!

My spouse of 12 years died Jan 05..and I feel like a major part of my world died with him. The old saying time heals all wounds has some merit, to a point. I still have days when the grief is all consuming, and other days things are fine. I still have small kids that need me, otherwise I often wonder if I'd have the desire or need to carry on alone.

I've heard some bad stuff about it. A mother died, The baby sometimes dies sometimes it's incomplete and you would have to make an emergency trip to the doctors because you are hemorrhaging to death..   It's not a good Idea.  \n\nI wish you all the best.  \nGod Bless you,

Yes, all of us have had bad days, but few of us have experienced grieving over a murdered child. My sympathies and thoughts are with you!\n\nWe all feel alone sometime, and we all try to deal with that in our own ways. Sometimes by endlessly seeking distractions, sometimes by facing our own fears, doubts, anxieties...\n\nBut life requires that of us. Growth is almost always uncomfortable and sometimes very painful, but it's pain for something, if we're honest, if we're true to ourselves and if we genuinely care about the meaning and effect of our lives.\n\nI would much rather experience the pain of facing myself... and accomplishing something of substance in my life... then run away from myself... and at the end of it all, look back and think... "What was it all for? What real difference did I make?"\n\nGood luck to you.

Oh, please, my greatest sympathy to you.  My oldest is 33 years old and I would also be devastated if something happed to her.\n\nHospice is a great organization; it helped my father during his last days.  But there should be community mental health practitioners - go to your county health department and ask them for a list of names; they usually work on a sliding scale depending on your income.\n\nPlease talk to someone.  Your question pulls at my heart strings because you seem to be such a good-hearted person.  We can't know why things happen the way they do.  And I don't think we can ever accept the death of a child.\n\nTry not to spend too much time alone right now.  If there are any small children around, sitting and holding them - getting hugs and comfort from everyone around you is necessary.\n\nPlease do call your county health department or senior center or hospice to see what counseling they have for you.  And be very, very good to yourself during this time of sorrow.  Your daughter is watching you from heaven and she wants you to be happy and go on with your life.

That is Deep! I appreciate people taking the time to express their loss,their memories.I'm sorry for yours!At least you seem to have accepted the tragedy and found some peace.Life is so strange,it is 4 21am I have been up since 1 25 on this computer reading and trying to answer some things I know alittle about from life's experience.My boys are asleep,so is my dog.My wife died in my arms a month ago today,I could not help her with CPR nor could the rescue team,41 too young, but everyday I see her in my sons,it will take along time to recover, as they say!God Bless You too!

We are all on this earth for a very short time. You & I aren't speacial, we too will die. Make the most of this life while we are here, is the lesson we should get from this. Lets try to be thankful for this young mans life even though it was short. He died doing something he loved. In my book thats better then being layed up in a bed suffering for long time. I know it is hard, but after the, understandable, saddess life goes on and our time here is limited.

We start dying as soon as we are born. I think death is a part of life and one has to accept it. I had a close call with death thrice in my life but still never have nightmares about it. I am not scared of death nor do I invite it. All I know is that I will accept it peacefully when it comes. If I do expect something in my life related to death it will just be a peaceful and painless death. Something like dying in a moment without suffering with the pain for long.

Losing one of my children,and yes I had to conquer it 5 years ago when one of my babies died from SIDS.It's still my greatest fear because I still have 3 kids and can't live with losing any more of them.

Be truthful, but use some tact.  Children can sense when they aren't being told the truth and will feel betrayed when they find out.  Avoid euphemisms or fairy tales.\n\nA child's understanding of grief depends on their age, so how you address it could vary.  \n\nThe experts say to explain what dead means.  Say the person's body "stopped working" (or something to that effect).  Avoid saying the person "went away" or "went to sleep".  Its misleading and you may soon have an insomniac child.  \n\nAllow them to ask questions and explain that everything they are feeling and thinking is normal.  \n\nLook for books by Linda Goldman.  I attended one of her seminars and it was excellent!\nhttp://www.childrensgrief.net/
