I have no words

Dec 29th, 2009

I haven’t written at all; I have nothing to say.  There are no words.  On Saturday my dear friend lost her baby boy, and there are no words.  No words of comfort.  No words to undo the pain.

There are no words to explain how someone that pulled together and somehow made it through the tragic loss four years ago of her firstborn son is now forced to endure the loss of another beautiful newborn.

A parent’s nightmare? I don’t know.  Nightmares are limited to things I can imagine, and never in a million years could I imagine that such a tragedy would strike, not once, but twice.

The words in my head are childish.  I don’t believe it.  I won’t believe it.  It’s not fair.  It’s not real.

How can this be so painfully and terribly and inconceivably real?

I have no words, I have only the heaviest heart full of sympathy and love for my beloved friend and her precious family.

    That is tough, that is sad. I have seen so many lost this season. And to lose two is more than her fair share. Hugs to all of you.
