Dear World

Dear World,

Please stop telling me that my baby died for a reason.

I know you mean well but there is absolutely no reason that is good enough for my baby not being here.

Yes I will learn from this, yes some good will come out of this, but are any of those reasons good enough to make up for losing my baby’s life? Absolutely not.

Please stop telling me that this was part of God’s plan.

Would you believe in a God that took people’s babies away from them?

Please stop telling me that my baby is in a better place.

To me the only place that he should be is here with us.

Dear world, instead of all of this, lets just admit that we don’t know the answers to some of life’s questions. And that’s okay. Lets stop trying to put answers and explanations to things that there are no answers for. Some things in life are just cruel and tragic and should be treated as such.

Dear world, please don’t expect me to get over this… it’s not possible.

Moving forward.. yes.

Moving on.. never.

  1. The only good thing that I can find in our tragedy is my husband’s love for me and our little boy… he shows it more and more each day and it supports me enormously! Though I know he suffers a lot…

  2. Not one single good thing came out of my 3 babies’ deaths. Not. One. Single. Thing. And the only thing I’ve learned is that life is unfair. ((hugs)) to you. You do not have to accept platitudes from people, who simply don’t know what else to say. It sucks. That’s all.
