no i never ...this is so sad. sorry for your loss. <br /><br />no i never lost a 9 year old but the stillbirth badly affected our entire family. not diminishing miscarriages, but there is something a bit more about having a funeral, getting a coffin, having a gravestone etc...my baby was 40 weeks. ...I do worry about something happening to one of kids but I try to let it go since I know I can't control anything. Plus, I know everyone has a certain number of days on this earth and i can not control that. I think a large part of faith in God is just letting go of control and accepting God's will.<br /><br />...and i thought i was the only one that looked at people in terms of their losses of kids too if you kwim? for instance, when I meet say, an old lady, and she tells me she had 5 kids I wonder, and how many did you miscarry or bury? lol...but not--creepy but yeah I get it.<br /><br />my grandmother died this year and her birthday is oct 28--or was--or is..?? So... there is that connection...She loved candy. chocolate and hard candy and all kinds...so I will have some candy on her birthday and remember her this year...and your brother now too.<br /><br />My husband had a few friends that died in middle childhood. I never knew anyone that died as a child. But the one family--they had 10 children and 3 losses and one died at age 13. It impacted the family severely. But--in a good way. They all grew very close together. They still are super close. They all live in the same neighborhood still after marrying and having kids. Except one--she became a NUN. So, My experiences is this that when tragedy happens like this it either breaks a family apart or binds them together and makes them stronger and more spiritually bonded...<br /><br />and my kids are like this too. So connected to each other. They are each other's best friends.<br /><br />ohh and yes he does look like one of your boys and apparently has the same genes the way he is into the closets and mischief. Hey, that's a sign of intelligence, right ??? You can just tell he was spunky and had that spark of life--just like you guys. :)<br /><br />and my kids did that same thing too with their tricycles...they hooked up several tricycles and strollers together and created some type of train...very noisy and wild. Drove me nuts.
