It's insane... such a huge mix of emotions & feelings & fears all wrapped into one amazing, incomparable life. I'm SO there. We are SOOOO fucking lucky!!!!!! I LOVED this post -- probably one of my favorites of yours EVER. Thanks so much for your openness & honesty... love to you & yours. xo Gwen from KS As the parent of two little ones with profound special needs, I get this fear, the worry, the disjointed thoughts that knock you on your ass out of the blue — it is terribly difficult to NEVER worry, to never fear the future, to never cry your heart out in the shower, to be reduced to tears with a stranger in public asking you basic questions about your child(ren) & realizing how this VERY abnormal life has become NORMAL to you, to know you might not just lose ONE child, but likely 2… and then also clinging like hell to your typical child with everything in you, too.

Kids that feel grief but don't see their parents grieve turn out much worse than those who do. They show it differently because of how their brains work, but they really do feel the same insanity that you do. When they see it in you, it tells them that they are normal and their feelings are OK. Of course it would be best if they never went there, but they will use these hard lessons in their lives and God will not let their suffering be wasted.

I've watched my older boys deal with that grief as well as struggle with my own. I feel your pain. I know those feelings. Life is too short. I lost my medically fragile son in August of last year.
