God Why?

Comment Published at 20:4720:4721 comments21 comments40 Visits40 VisitsReport
On a night when the young are whooping it up and having fun ...you stop and realize how fragile it all is. A young girl has died this afternoon and my heart goes out to her family. I so feel for the Mother who has lost this daughter,I can't imagine no more warm embraces. For the Father that won't walk with her to give her away at her wedding,for the siblings that have lost a sister. No more sharing silly secrets. She was to have general surgery and be home,what in God's name went wrong? I don't know the family or the child but I know how my daughter feels tonight...I got to hug her. She teaches the grade 10 and it's her duty tomorrow to tell the class why the seat is empty. Her first duty in telling of a death. She is an emotional wreck and I told her you can show emotion,why would you not?  I have shed tears all night because I feel the pain. She was just into her teens and life was just to start unfolding. How cruel,how harsh,how unfair. The family must be in shock. I can't imagine their pain. I so feel for them.

I so feel for your daughter.  It's so difficult, as a teacher, to deal with losing a student you care deeply about but to also help the rest of your students get through the grief.  She's in my thoughts.

Re: God Why?
How horrible and how very sad, i truly believe this is every parents  worse nightmare, to lose a child, especially for no apparent reason. I can not imagine how the poor parents are feeling, my deepest thoughts are with them. My heart goes out to your daughter, Marg, i don't envy the task in front of her, but i'm sure she will break the news as gentle as one can in these situations and i'm sure she will also, be sharing her emotions with each student and letting them know that she is there for them.

Re: God Why?
I know these things happen and tragic events happen all the time but geeesss,you just feel for them. My daughter is amazing and very sensitive,it's just affecting her deeply. She at least cares and will try to help,just with that age group she's worried about the girls close friends. Hard times for them to understand but who does understand??? Hope you're doing well there dear Buddy!

Re: God Why?
It is going to be a very hard thing for your daughter to do.  It will help bring closure for her as well as the children and it is ok for her to cry with the kids.  Times like this, the children need to see that their teacher has a heart and can show how they feel.

My sympathies to the family of the girl too.

Re: God Why?
It is so sad to hear of things like this...   I really feel for your daughter to have to deliver the news to her class... 
I saw that two hoons yesterday ran into a front yard of a house while the kids were putting up decorations....  And unfortunatly the little girl did not live to see halloween...

In Australia if you are caught hooning around in your car, they take it and you don't get it back.... And it does not matter if it your car or someone elses.. I wish they would bring something here like that...

Send my love and best wishes to your daughter and pray that she deals with today as well as she can....

Hi Jess,my daughter's trying,she never thought this would be something she'd have to do. They bring in counsellors usually but because this happened in a hospital they haven't?? Doesn't make sense to me.

Re: God Why?
That is so sad.. and i hope your  daughter gets the support and comfort from her students as she sounds like a wonderful caring person that any child deserves to have as a teacher....

I also think that life is too short so it sure does make you wonder when something like this happens why so many evil people can be so evil and stay on this land, and all the good ones go.....

Thinking of you , daughter  and this young girls family at this time...God Bless you all...

love cazza

Re: God Why?

Oh it's so sad Marg!  How did your daughter cope today? At least she has your shoulder to lean on. I was going to struggle to say something but I see below Deb has said it far better than I ever could. There's a wise lady!

The sad fact is, none of us can be sure of three score years and ten, so we must try to value each day and each thing in each day, and more than anything each person we meet.

I know from reading your Blogs that you do a good job of that, and I'm sure you've taught your kids to do that, and I expect your daughter is in her own way teaching her classes to do that. This girl's life will have been richer for being in your daughter's class. And at least that class has your daughter to comfort them through this awful time.

All that effort you put into growing this well-rounded young woman will be needed in her work life right now! I hope you can take some comfort in that.

You are so sweet my Kathryn. I know I tend to feel too much some times but having wonderful people to listen makes such a difference!!!  My daughter did her best and that's all you can do...we were kinda down last night but then that's good too. It's when life doesn't matter you have to worry.

Re: God Why?
That is so sad. I think it is important for your daughter to show emotion because it will give permission to her students that it is alright to be be sad and to mourn.

Re: God Why?
Hi
Hello beautiful lady
The inspiration of our lives
Shed a tear for the mother and the friends but think of the people this child has blessed with her short life.
We are here for a reason and when that reason is finished we are but a memory.
Makes me wonder how anyone copes..how i will cope the day Jalan is called home or any of my children
How my mother coped when my sister died at the tender age of 17.  How i coped the day mum left us and then my brother following but the world goes on and our is not to question why cause the answers are just too hard to hear. 
The answers we seek are so wrong but one day all will be revealed and we will know the why!!!
Hugs and a tear shed with and for you
Luv Deb

Re: God Why?
Deb, That is truely wonderful and goes to show the depth of your soul where that special light you have comes from. Your words are so true and I'm so sorry for the sad parts in your life but I know you rejoyce at the wonderful parts. Everyday I think  of and send wishes for Jalan. I know her battle and I ask the powers that be to guard her for she is her mother's child in so many ways! She has that special light too! Hugs to you dear Lady!
