She said there is no word for a mother who loses their child. Someone who loses their spouse is a widow, someone who loses their parent is an orphan but a mother who loses their child is just LOST.<br /><br />My son lived for 12 hours just over 9 months ago now and I still feel so lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343706693555232928.post-89912877232166911822009-09-07T21:18:03.500-04:002009-09-07T21:18:03.500-04:00Oh my gosh Danielle!!

But you are right, so right when you say that they are in a far better place than we are! Thanks for the encouraging words. xxxFranchescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362049658761399255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343706693555232928.post-68343819234243361022009-09-06T20:36:37.054-04:002009-09-06T20:36:37.054-04:00Since Nate died and we've become members of th...Since Nate died and we've become members of this club of sorts, I've noticed that everyone always says "I'm sorry for your loss" and "We lost our child too". For some reason I've ALWAYS been uncomfortable with that. I usually say that Nate died and not that we lost him. When I have used the word "loss" I've been uncomfortable. I feel like "loss" is such a kinder, more gentle word and that's not what happened to us. Our son died! Yes, I know where he's at...but he's still not with me. And, I'm selfish because that's where I want him to be.<br /><br />Thank you for this post so that I know that I'm not the only one that feels this way. I don't think that I've ever heard anyone else question the "lost" reference before. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />TrishaTrisha Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426915708825675793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343706693555232928.post-88654040769455736012009-09-06T19:26:02.042-04:002009-09-06T19:26:02.042-04:00very true Danielle...I have said that before- and ...very true Danielle...I have said that before- and you're right- they're not 'lost'-they are in heaven.
