IF I HEAR ONE MORE PERSON SAY HOW AWFUL IT IS TO LOSE "THEIR ONLY SON," I WILL SCREAM!
What does that mean, anyway? Would it be less painful for them to get over the death of their daughter? Or that if you have two sons, one of them is disposable?
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I have one son and three daughters and I would be equally devastated to lose any of them. I'm tired of hearing that too.
ReplyDeletePeople say the dumbest things about tragity. No parent should ever have to go through the loss of a child. It is devistating to even imagine, and I will hug
ReplyDeleteRingo and cry for them, because, I cannot hug Mo.
I meant I would hug Romeo, as to hug Ringo, I would be hugging ashes.
ReplyDeleteI just wish that the media would allow all families to grieve privately. When did Entertainment tonight and other entertainment shows start thinking that we wanted needed to know all about celebrities? Of course the Travoltas' feel terrible, why use that as a teaser?
ReplyDeleteI think you pay more attention to the words used by others given the job that you do. Too bad others didn't.
