The only thing that makes sense from a religious perspective is there is an afterlife. If we are somewhere else for 10,000 years or whatever, 9 years versus 80 years is just a blip on the radar. would be a minimal difference in that respect.

I could not handle the detachment required to work in a hospital. Lots of respect to you scruffy

But when a child passes before the parents, it's like the natural fabric of the universe is ripped to shreds.
Life's meaning seems lost for about 15-25 years as a sad fog drifts in and out.
I've seen it too often and it's a fricking tragedy on many levels.

There's a reason for everything that happens in a human life and between humans in relationships. I have more of an eastern Buddhist spiritual belief so I believe in reincarnation etc. I think humans are spirit condensed into third dimensional physical bodies. We come into this world to teach others and to learn from others as well. We can never say for sure what the full meaning of this child dying of cancer is but if the parents, family and friends search their higher self or spirit, they will understand the lesson here. Maybe to develop a more compassionate heart or spirit so that they can be a comfort to someone else going through the same thing. We are here to evolve our spiritual consciousness through the medium of our human lives. I feel they will reunite with this child's spiritual essence one day when they die in a higher dimension(heaven) and will understand the reason more clearly at that time.

With all of the worthless pieces of shite in this world who live long meaningless lives, I will never understand why some children have to suffer and die like they do.. I can't even begin to think how I could live of I lost either of my boys..

The original topic doesn't mention any one child specifically. I would bet over 10,000 children ages 5 and under died around the world today. Are you grieving for them?

Damn dude, that post was. Dry truthful but seriously dark

One day at a time ... The pain doesn't lessen but you have to retrain/recondition yourself emotionally.

Swing and a miss.
This is about individuals connected to their kids. Not somewhere detached.

Well he was talking about a family member who had a 9 y/o die and he can't imagine their pain. Then went on to talking about his own kids.

If I lost a child it would be devastating. How folks get thru childhood disease and death is beyond me.

I grieve for all parents who have had to bury their kids

Respectfully sorry. I grew up in a funeral home and saw families at their worst ... and their best.

He made it personal in the question. How do YOU? How does an individual? Not the world as a whole. There is a disconnect there. He is obviously referencing a specific incident that has an effect and how people are supposed to handle it.
Youre being indifferent because you think it makes you sound intelligent. frick off.

I answered the question as to how I rationalize the death of a child. There is no rationale. Everyone dies at some point. There doesn't have to be a reason for it.

bullfrog, that post is seriously deep...and spot on in my experience...
Posted on 7/7/15 at 10:22 pm to Brosef Stalin
my mind tends to wander when I'm idle. These kinda thoughts of "what if" bullshite uncontrollably work their way into my brain. Its paralyzing. It's my(& every parent's)biggest fear. I've buried quite a few friends after sudden things. I think that has made me a little more fearful as I've gotten a little older. I understand how quick shite happens

You're going to catch lots of shite for that, but you're right of course.

Not to derail but you know what drives me nuts? Frickin people on facebook that constantly post links about heartbreaking tragedies to random little ones. The "2 year old shaken to death by babysitter" crap. Do they get off reading the saddest shite possible? I'd rather not see shite like that & pretend it doesn't happen. Anywsy....end rant, lol

I lost a son 2 years ago this month (the 26th). Speaking strictly as someone who has lived through this horror, I can tell you that one cannot comprehend or rationalize the loss of a child. Some live with the loss. Many cannot. I understand.
A piece of you dies. The world changes. You change. Nothing can comfort you. There is no peace. Time does not heal the wound. You are scarred for life. An inner rage envelopes you. Each day you are reminded of what you have lost. The lonesomeness is overwhelming.
Each day is a struggle to get through. But the nights are what is dreaded. They are so very long.
But, there is some freedom. You no longer care what another may think of you. Money becomes less important. The only responsibility now is to those others left behind.
My faith and belief in an afterlife is what sustains me. The belief that, one day, I will see my son again.
