Thank you. I needed a "snap out of it" moment. We were working for the past year on a musical my husband wrote. We finally got a stage date and the cast wasn't ready. Lots of in fighting and blame, some relationships really damaged. We have been grieving the lost, depleted of resources and having to redo many things to try to launch again. But really, what does it matter? If tragedy struck one of us, as it will, does this even matter? We would not even think about it again, let alone spend days and weeks analyzing it. We will stop this madness of sadness. Because of you. Now I know what my next blog is about. The Madness of Sadness. Thanks Ben, your writing always moves me.
Thank you Pamela 🥰 I’m sorry to hear your musical hasn’t had the launch you hoped but it sounds like you’re regrouping well to go again! I have everything crossed 🤞🏻
We're not meant to out live our children - That's a terrible thing. Glad to see you've gained some appreciation and perspective on being in the moment, and noticing. Love, Virg
I know that there would be no other heartbreak like that of losing a child. I’ve been to a few funerals for friends who have lost a child and all of different ages and stages of life. I don’t think it matters if your child is 75 and you’re 95… you’re never supposed to have to bury your child. 💔
This probably happens more often than we know. 'I am sorry for the loss' seems so insignificant when we are talking about real people, esp children who have lost their mother. Thanks for sharing.

This really hit. It’s a reminder how quickly everything can change… and how much the little moments actually matter. so sorry for her loss...so sad
