Instead of griping about it, I will just continue with my advocacy and help those in need. Sometimes it is not easy after all the years. It gets harder just before the angel date or the anniversary date. Imagine 8 years without y Luijoe. I will recite later on. it’s almost been 8 years and still justice has not been served.

I haven't really come to terms with my mother's death because i never saw her suffer. And now I realize, and you're right, Mother Mary suffered immensely because she saw her Son dies before her own eyes - the suffering and all. And thanks, for reminding me again, that God will surely comfort us!!! God bless to you and your family! ate noemi, thanks again for this post and giving me more meaning to my grief.

It really isn't in the natural order of things for children to go ahead of their parents. With our belief in Easter and a gracious God though, we know that the time will come when we will be with all our loved ones who may have gone ahead again. Thanks for sharing Noemi.

I completely agree with everything you've written. The thought of Mary watching Jesus die came to me as I was watching my own son die...I felt like I could relate to her very well, yet at the same time I knew that her experience had to be soooo much worse than what I was experiencing. God blessed me with a beautiful and peaceful experience of holding my son as he died...I didn't have to watch him being tortured. Just the thought of a mother having to go through that breaks my heart. I, like you, look forward with great anticipation....I can't wait to see my son! I bet our boys know each other!! Thanks so much for sharing this. I'll be back to read some more... What a beautiful post! I completely agree with everything you’ve written.

I've enjoyed reading your articles and somehow I can relate to your stories about losing a child. I had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago and found out that I had blighted ovum when I was 11 weeks pregnant already. When they told me the baby didn't form properly and they had to terminate the pregnancy, my husband and I were devastated. It was like losing a child too because we've already planned for so many things. We even had a name for the baby already. The doctors told me that it really happens sometimes and that I would have no problem if I try again, but the feeling of lost is still there. And now I'm still adjusting to the idea that I'm not pregnant anymore and I know one of these days I'll heal both physically and emotionally. And I know God has a very good reason for letting it happen. Thanks for your articles. It helped me a lot to understand and deal with it. Hi.
