Today I received horrible news that a friend I met in blog-land lost their twins - at almost 7 months. I know that no words can express the pain and sorrow they are feeling. I just wanted to dedicate this post to them and let them know they are in my thoughts and prayers. This was a real wake up call for me that nothing is certain about this process. In the spirit of grieving, moving on and trying again, I thought this quote was appropriate from my favorite poet/writer:
Joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
― Khalil Gibran

These reminders are devastatingly intense.........sending nurturing thoughts to your friends at this horrible time.
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to imagine how they must feel, that is just devastating news. To get so far and have this happen is just shattering. I can't think of a single thing to say or do that would make any difference, but our thoughts, wishes and prayers are with them during this sad time.
