deze wil ik met jullie delen. omdat het zo ontroerend is. (met toestemming)
de oorspronkelijke discussie ging over foto's avn overleden kindjes. die discussie is nogal naar. maar daar gaat het niet om. iemand zei uiteindelijk dit:
quote:
I think your initial reaction was pretty typical of most people, me included. The first time I had a friend lose a child during childbirth, I was just unable to find anything to say and I didn't know how to react. I was taken back by the pictures as well. Later, my wife lost a baby to a miscarriage. She now works in a NICU and lives in a world where this type of thing is an unfortunately frequent occurrence.
So, when it happened to another friend later in life and I saw the familiar signs, I knew how to react and spent time with him looking at pictures and talking about it with him, bonding as parents really. It's horribly hard, but it does so much good. I can't think of anything in life more powerfully changing for a person than losing child. Few people appreciate just what it does to you, so when I have a chance to help someone that is struggling, I swallow hard and have that conversation.
Don't beat yourself up. Until you've gone through it or been close to someone who has, it's a difficult thing to understand. Good for you for being receptive to having your mind changed.

I want to thank your wife for working in a NICU. It's a very tough unit to work in. Thanks to people like your wife to treat my kid in a high-tech environment, I got to know one of my twin boys at least for a few months before he passed away. The NICU and child IC people went out of their way to try and save him. Without them, he'd been dead seconds after leaving the womb.
niemand die weet hoeveel pijn we hebben behalve wijzelf. en wij zijn wij. er is een wij en er is een ik en een jij. en er zijn onze kinderen en soms is het allemaal heel verwarrend en soms ook helemaal niet. en meestal weten we wel dat er ruimte is voor ik en jij en wij.
