Dear Amedeo Family, I just wanted to say how sorry I am to learn of your loss. May the God of all comfort sustain you during this difficult time. I have also found the following promises to be comforting John 5:28,29 about the resurrection hope as well as Rev. 21:4 where God promises to do away with all the things that cause us suffering and pain including death forever. It is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family at this time. Laura
Your post is precious. Not in a cusety ooh so prey-scious way but in a sweet, beautiful and treasured way. We all react to death in different ways; and also according to who it is that died. I have only had six people die that I was related to both grandmothers and grandfathers, a great aunt and great-grandmother. I handled each death differently. Some hit me more than others. My paternal grandmother was very sick. My maternal grandmother was not, her death was a shock. And again, grandparents; not my husband or even my own parents.Not having children or even being pregnant, I cannot imagine how you are feeling; nor could I even assume to suggest how you should have coped with the news of your child. How you cope is between you and your family. We are not here to judge.
