Daughter Death Poem
The grief of losing a child
Losing A Child
©
Glenna Marie Durand
Its hard to accept losing a child
Why wasnt it me
Life is too short as it is
I dont agree that it's our destiny
Each day we continue on with our daily tasks
Coping until there is a reminder
Of their birthday or first date
Why do I ponder
Leaning on people is not my fancy
Although tormenting myself is a sin
I hope a day will come, in time
I can hurdle my grief from within
When you grieve the loss of a child
Its not in the natural order of things
For a child to die before his/her parents
The nightmare never ends, its not dwindling
As the reality of the death settles in
Intense anger at the thought
Deep anguish that the loss is forever
God help me with the peace I have sought
The grief may intensify with time
Although my friends say it never ends
Lost to the grim specter of death
They lost a part of themselves, they lost a friend

20 yr old brother was in a car accident that severed his spinal cord rendering him quadriplegic. I took care of them both without a break for 2 years when on March 25, 2010 I lost my son to an accidental overdose. I found him and laid with him in ICU for 3 days while they waited for his brain to finish dying. My grief is unbearable his birthday is June 13, I miss my baby.

I was pregnant with my third boy. Very happy and excited to watch my 3 boys grow up together, during my pregnancy I never experienced any complications. everything seemed fine. I was scheduled for a c-section on December 20th 2010 after he was born the nurse let me hold him very briefly and I kissed his little cheek. He had problems breathing and was taken out of the delivery room quickly.
After that things got worse. He was born with holes in his lungs and a heart defect that was not able to be fixed. He died on December 22nd just two days after he was born. I never got to hold him again, or even feed him. that Christmas I thought I would be bringing home a new baby boy. Instead it was full of pain, anger, and a BIG ?...
I will never forget him. even though I didn't know him for very long..
