As one who has lost a child let me just say that nothing anyone says can make you feel any better at the time.
Gordon & Sarah must have been in shock when little Jennifer's health failed and she eventually died.
I am only glad that I had a healthy child at home when I experienced this dreadful situation and I knew that things could be good as a parent as well as horrible. I hope that Sarah & Gordon go on to have a healthy child/children and put this behind them, but it is a long road and one that can take a great toll on a marriage. Not to mention the fear that remains after the loss and how no matter how blameless you are you still have that 'what if' thing going through your mind.
I doubt anything any of the reporters had to say really made much impact on the Brown's that day as the haze of greif makes you isolated from the world...it is almost as if you have been removed from this planet as you come to grips with what fate has dealt you.
Good luck to the Brown's and anyone else who treads this path, I am 8 years down the road and although I do wish my 1st daughter was with me daily, I have accepted my fate and hers and have gotten on with my life. It is the only healthy way, but I will never forget my daughter nor the memories happy and sad that we shared. |
