Subject: One thing that really helped me with this grief

I just had to share this story with everyone,

Two weeks after Noah was born we went to a Compas Friends Group.(a group for familys that have lost a child at any age) We didn't really feel we fit in but we stayed anyway, after about a half and hour the new familys split off to another room to talk and share. I was asked to go first but couldn't talk through my tears so they started on the other side of the circle. The Mother and Father that was sitting
accross from us we in tears like wise, the father spoke for them. He told how they had lost their 14 year old to Cancer and how she had the cancer since she was nine years old. In that time they didn't work and hadn't left their daughters side in all of those years. They expressed how lost they were and how they didn't even feel like they had an idenity anylonger. The Dad had stoped to cry for a min then he broke in to a all out sob. He said, "I just wish I knew where she is!" My husband and I just looked at eachother and cried with him. Different tears though cause we know where Noah is. We know he is fine and that we will see him again. It was that night that I had a sense of peace. I know where Noah is and I don't have to be so
totally beside myself in grief. I don't cry as much anymore, I still have my days but that family helped me, my faith helped me. My (Our) church helps me!
I contribute my strength in my grief to this couple and them showing me this grand example of faith.
