The Peterson-Barrow Family 27th November 2007

Dear Friend, Today you broke our hearts, in places that were not broken. You did it with your thoughtless words, that should not have been spoken. You know that we are grieving, that our pain is still deep and real. Your words cut like a knife. How do you think we feel? You may not have suffered from our loss or share our lonely grief. But we're mourning our baby, whose life was much too brief. We are sure that you don't know how we feel...we don't expect you to. Don't ask us to get over it, that's something we can't do. It's a journey that we must make. It's not the path that we would have chosen, but one we were forced to take. No matter how you choose to see what we are going through, we need compassion and support, we would do the same for you. Without grief, there is no healing.
