I wish I could tell you that you’ll get over it. I wish it were that easy. But over time the pain does become bearable. Still, it’s been 15 years and I have two wonderful, healthy teenagers, but I wonder what would have been… All I can say is try to be nice to yourselves. You deserve it. I will pray for your strength in pulling through this dreadful experience. ---
