It was my 30th Birthday and I got a phone call that a close cousin of mine suddenly died at 23 years old. Two and a half weeks later I was in labor with my son and my father too passed with a heart attack. My husband and I found out first because my mother wasn't home, she was at my house watching my 2 year old. The police came and informed us an hour after giving birth. It was almost 5 months ago now but the whole thing was so shocking that I can barely think of the chain of events as I brought my son into the works just two hours after my father died. I sent him a picture of my son to his phone and he never got it. I was talking with him just 20 minutes before he died. The timing has been so hard to deal with. My son makes me so happy but I know his birthday us surrounded by so much sadnes. When I think of giving birth to him I find it hard to breath. Supposed to be the happiest day of my life. I feel like nobody can even come close to understanding unless they have experienced this awful rollercoaster.

So many typos!

Sher, you are right that I could never understand what you have been thru.  But I have compassion for you.  That is a terrible chain of events except for the birth of your son.  Sending you my thoughts and prayers.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
