I can still remember someone asking me a few weeks after my son had died if I was feeling any better yet. I just turned and looked at them and said "NO, everyday is only another day without my child. It's not getting any better and I don't know if it ever will."

That is where you are right now and it's OK to be there. These are strange new awful feelings and it takes a lot of work and faith to learn how to deal with them. I know that the pain of losing a child never goes away; we just learn to deal with it differently. But it takes time.

I have never felt that my Heavenly Father was upset with me for feeling angry and betrayed over the death of my children either. I now know that what he feels is a great love and compassion for us. Not only as a loving father but also as a fellow parent. It's OK to vent your frustrations with the Lord, he understands. And so do we.

Hugs,
Mary
