I know what you mean. Hitting a child is my number one fear, as a driver. I don't think I could live with myself after causing such devastation. Continued purrs for everyone in Grace's family.

I remember this awful numb feeling from when my best friend's five month old son died suddenly. That was ten years ago, and we still talk about him whenever we meet, sometimes with tears, sometimes with laughter and thanks for the memories we have of him, and the five months that we did have with him. I remember that for weeks I felt that I was walking through syrup, and every sound seemed like it was coming through cotton wool. Losing a child is the worst nightmare, as other people on this group will know only too well. Grace, you can get through this. It will change you, inevitably, but with your strength and the love of those around you, it can be a positive change. Acknowledge your bitterness at your loss, but don't embrace it. Jeanette >It was my brother in law. {{{{{Grace}}}}}} My heart just bleeds for you. May you find the strength to walk through the days with the joy you knew from Eve still singing in your heart. Ginger-lyn > It was my brother in law. Oh my God, how awful! He must be absolutely devastated. I know this sounds strange, but as a mother I can imagine how you feel about having your child taken from you... Do you thing you'll be able to forgive him in your heart and help him deal with the guilt he must be feeling? Again, we're sending all our prayers, thoughts, and purrs to try and help you through this tragedy. Hugs, CatNipped We're hugging each other alot. He hasn't told me he's sorry, I haven't told him I've forgiven him. Neither of those two things are necessary. We're family. I know beyond a doubt any one of the adults around when I was out of town would have gladly and ten times over stepped in front of that truck to save Eve. > > It was my brother in law. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > CatNipped > We're hugging each other alot.

I know beyond a doubt any one of the adults around when I was > out of town would have gladly and ten times over stepped in front of that > truck to save Eve. Of course, please forgive me for implying anything else - it's just that I can't imagine what I would feel if I lost a child or grandchild, and I don't know if I could be that generous of spirit. I'm so sorry. As others have said, this is a life-changing experience and if you have the strength you can get through it to a better place. Hugs, CatNipped I didn't think anything badly of your post Catnipped *smiles softly*. In fact, my father in law asked if we'd ask him to be a pallbearer. Even if he was able (he wasn't) we weren't able to watch him be so. So yeah, there's alot of natural emotions there but I try to keep them down. *hugs* > > We're hugging each other alot.

I cry every time I look at Eve's sweet little face - she looks so much like my youngest granddaughter. I can't imagine how you're getting through this tragedy - your strength is awesome. I do hope you can take some comfort in the fact that your precious angel is being mourned by people all over the world, and that people from all over the world are sending you their warmest thoughts, prayers, and best wishes that you can come through this and find peace. At the risk of sounding crass again... I wanted to ask if you need any help with the expenses you must be incurring. I would be more than glad to help out in any way I can, as I am sure others here would as well. Hugs, CatNipped It's all been paid in full... everything... every expense, every imaginable cost... paid..

It sounds like you both have a wonderful understanding of what happened. And it happened. Not something he did but something that happened. People only need forgiveness for things they do. My heart breaks for all of you, but in a special way for him. I've been there. Not the exact situation but I was behind the wheel of a car and a twelve year old boy was killed. Even though there was nothing I could had done differently other than not be in a car that day. it still has stayed with me for almost thirty years now. I felt as though I had broken some taboo and should no longer interact with the rest of the world. I don't know how I would have survived with out my family and my friends to love me. Wish I could give you both a real hug. Jo >> We're hugging each other alot.

Again, I apologize - I was looking at it from just one point of view - my own horror at even the thought of losing a child or grandchild (Grace and Eve have been in my thoughts a prayers since I first read about the tragedy). Please forgive my gaffe. Hugs, CatNipped >> It sounds like you both have a wonderful understanding of what happened. >> And it happened. Not something he did but something that happened.

And you are so right - the wiser I get with age, the more I realize just how much I *don't* know.

Oh Grace, I'm so sorry. I've thought of little else since I heard the news. This tragedy will shape your life, but you have the strength and goodness within you to make it for the good. Jeanette It just gets harder to hear about by the minute. Just know you are loved by us and we will be here for you. Hugs, Sharon Thanks for posting this, Pam. I tried to write my condolences on the funeral home's page, but it only takes condolences from the US, it seems. > The news also had a clip about what happened. > Family Gathering [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Not negligence > CPA won't be here to take our other child. How terrible for the driver, too. We are still purring hard for your whole family, Grace.
