One of the most tragic and traumatic losses life can deal out to a person is the death of a son. The death of a son means the loss of more than just a precious life. It represents the loss of future experiences and future hopes. No parent is prepared for the loss of a child, and when it happens, their world is changed forever. The grief, guilt, and anguish felt are acute and lasting. Parents can find comfort in knowing that their grief and mourning are normal and that many other parents have lived through similar tragedies

As a baby unto you,
When God said to me softly
I'm trusting you to do

There is no word, no label, no identifying moniker,
I am not a widow, not an orphan, not childless,
But one child less.

I only ask these few things from you,...
