I have seen them die from natural causes and sadly enough at the hands of the very ones that were supposed to be protecting them. No, they weren't "My Children," but each of them touched me deeply. I have stroked their hair, murmured "I love you" into their ears, and kissed their foreheads when there was no one else to do it. With that being said, I cannot even imagine the heartache you and Derek have endured, but I feel blessed that you have shared your story. Thank You.<br /><br />GeriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434442851611224015.post-37491101371211550472009-06-01T16:33:19.652-04:002009-06-01T16:33:19.652-04:00man, I know now why I read blogs so much....

I remember sitting in the steamy bathroom bleary eyed holding more than one child struggling for the next breath and I also remember being the child. I remember being afraid at the awful sound myown made but I also remember having no fear in my parents arms. Maggie's last memory was of being loved by you both. You did everything possible and you're right, shit happens. Maybe someday we'll understand, but in the mean time we'll just be here for each other.

The account of the resuscitation was too much like Maggie for us to hold out much hope, but we prayed the family would not have to suffer her loss. I almost called you to talk about it, but I hesitated and let the moment pass. I don't mind talking about Maggie, her life and death, even though the subject can be quite tearful, it is more poignant than painful. I guess in the sense of catharsis, I enjoy talking about her. The nature of the recounting is somewhat like discussing a difficult birth (yours comes to mind). Even so, I understand how difficult/uncomfortable it is for other people to have that conversation with us; and how hard it is to discuss it with one another. Truly the experience and emotions were, and are, as unique to each of us as we are unique and separate ourselves.<br />Love ya, MOMginstonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831481549259081579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434442851611224015.post-25406440342322299012009-06-01T12:52:17.298-04:002009-06-01T12:52:17.298-04:00Huge Hug from afar.

Whether we know it or not. As humans, our hearts are not healed by putting things in the past and letting sleeping dogs lie. The knowledge that someone has been in your spot, that they were able to move forward, THAT is powerful healing! Even the strongest man needs a hand to help him up when he is down and cannot find his legs underneath him. <br />From what I know, Maggie was a ball of energy and she left her mark in her short life. You should celebrate those memories that you have from your time with her, and grieve the ones you'll never have. Don't feel that you have to bite your tongue to ease the 'discomfort' of another. You never know who you may be helping by sharing. <br />Besides- <br />Maggie was here! She mattered! She counts!Maureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434442851611224015.post-19741407134809910832009-06-01T12:48:58.452-04:002009-06-01T12:48:58.452-04:00My nephew Jake died in an ambulance a few months a...My nephew Jake died in an ambulance a few months after a failed kidney transplant. I have a cherished sock cat and a real cat to remember him by, and all of his golf shirts that I wear all of the time.<br /><br />You know I believe it is healthy to talk about Maggie. Please tell your friend that whatever happened, she need to talk about it. Keeping things buried causes depression and doesn't help at all. No one stands alone. We are all scarred and beaten up. Together, with shared experiences, we are stronger. We are together, we are there for each other, we can hold our heads high. And we can do it alone after that knowing we aren't alone.<br /><br />MontyThe CEOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132181032041726978noreply@blogger.com
