A different perspective. | journey2retirement.com Blog Mon, 16 Jul 2007 21:13:58 +0000 http://journey2retirement.com/blog/2007/07/06/cherish-life/#comment-67 [...] I wrote on another post about the pain of losing a child. I’ll be sad when my parents pass away, but I know I’ll be back on my feet in a few weeks. However, if something ever happened to my kid, I’ll have no idea how I’ll cope with that. Right now, just the idea of losing him makes me feel helpless and breathless, so it is possible that I would be so psychologically devastated that I wouldn’t be able to work for a long period of time after his death. It is an important fact that is often ignored, but the fact is, we’re better prepared for our parents’ death than for our kid’s death. Like I mentioned in my other post, we sadly wait for the moment when we’ll bury our dads, but burying our kids is something unthinkable to us. It’s against nature’s law.

You hit the nail on the head-it is about moments not things. Having lost both of my parents, I can say first hand, it's heartbreaking. To this day I remind anyone I know how lucky they are to have their parents still living. I stress how important it is to tell they you love them, and to create as many memories with them as you possibly can. Losing a child is worse. My best friend lost her son, father and husband in a two year period. She said that the death of her son was the most devastating for her. You're right, we're not suppose to "bury our children", but it happens, unfortunately way too often. Yes, we do need to cherish our loved ones, and especially those babies. Congratulations to your and your wife on the soon-to-be addition to your family. What a touching story. You hit the nail on the head-it is about moments not things.
