PLEASE don’t ask me if I’m over it yet…I’ll never be over it
PLEASE don’t tell me he’s in a better place…He isn’t here with me
PLEASE don’t say at least he isn’t suffering…I haven’t come to terms with why he had to suffer at all
PLEASE don’t tell me you know how I feel…unless you have lost a child as well
PLEASE don’t ask me if I feel better…bereavement isn’t a condition that clears up
PLEASE don’t tell me at least you had him for so many years…what year whould you choose for your child to die?
PLEASE don’t tell me God never gives us more than we can bear…I can’t bear what he has given me
PLEASE just say that you are sorry!!!
PLEASE just say you remember my child…and if you do… then
PLEASE just let me talk about my child
PLEASE mention my childs name
PLEASE just let me cry!!!
