Dear Sandra, Sparrow and Jude,
I do understand how these parents did what they did. I saw the story yesterday on the computer and Just said a prayer. I can imagine their entire lives were devoted to saving their little boy. I imagine that when he passed they felt they just could not go on.

Sparrow, There is no need to feel ashamed for having thought the same way. I do think it is normal to feel this.

One day two years ago the police came to my house to ask me to be with my neighbor who had just found her son dead in his home. the police broght her home. They would not leave her alone. She said that I would be the one she wanted to be with. So I did go there. She told me she wanted to die. That statement was completely understandable to me. He was her everything. People did reach out and hold her up.. She is alive. Her daughter travelled here and moved her away, mutually agreed upon move, fairly soon after that. She was only in Vermont to be near him.

My blessings and heart go out to this family, and all those who live having suffered the worst imaginable loss....... and those who did not make it through the loss. I pray that people get the support they need in order to continue living.

I am ashamed to say that I felt much the same way when my first child died.

Dear Sparrow,
I don't think you need feel an shame whatever. It is a very natural feeling to want to be with your child. My daughter felt the same way after a miscarriage. Thankfully she didn't take that step either.

Sandra, I think I was answering your post when the telephone rang and I thought I had posted it, but not so.

I saw this tragic story on the news yesterday. I never liked visiting Beachey Head because it was such a 'popular' suicide spot.
So sad.

Love,
Jude

What a terrible, terrible story . . .
I am so sorry
that it came to this
and can only imagine the pain this couple was feeling.
I am ashamed to say
that I felt much the same way
when my first child died.
Someone reached out to me . . .

If only they had reached out . . .
if only someone had been there . . .
I take this story out with me
as I go about my day,
that maybe some action or gesture I make
might make a difference to someone I meet.
That couple didn't need to feel so alone and abandoned.

I feel so heart broken right now I have just read this tragic story in a news paper.

If only they could have reached out for help in another way.

They loved their little boy so much and could not contemplate a life without him.

They already had suffered so much already so why did they have to suffer even more

God only knows the suffering and heartache they went through when all three of them
left this world..

I think the loss of anyone is hard to cope with but the loss of a child that is loved beyond
measure is a cross too hard to bear  for some.

I don't think there is no greater love than a parents love for their child .

I cried so much seeing they took toys with them they really loved him with all of their heart
and soul they really did.

..a tractor is what I left my own darling Louis.

God almighty why do people have to sufffer like this it's so cruel it really is.

Jesus wrap your loving arms around them please and let them know they will never
ever have to suffer again not ever .
