Caring for Our Children

I talked with a friend this morning who had lost his adult son. I think most of us who are parents tend to worry about our children when they are growing up. When they reach adulthood, we think of them as being able to take care of themselves and don't worry about them so much any more. Loss of a child at any age is dreadful and defies explanation. Even with medical explanations or understanding of other circumstances, it is still difficult to accept the reality that he or she is gone and we remain. Hopefully we can continue to celebrate their lives and concentrate less on our loss as time goes by.
