This is a club that I really wish I didnt belong to. That was so beautifully written. You are right about the appreciation after so many years. I am coming up to 4yrs in July and its nice when someone still remembers. Although this year will be bitter sweet as our 5th child is also due around that time.

[…] The club nobody wants to belong to - Tiff from Three Ring Circus has experienced grief as a mother that I cannot imagine. In this heart felt post, she gives a delicate insight into how a new member of her club may be feeling. […]

I don’t belong to this club, but I can understand the grief, having lost a much-loved sister-in-law, her husband and son all in the one car crash many years ago. I still cry whenever I see a tiny white coffin on TV. My niece was also in the car but survived. The accident wasn’t discovered for several hours during which the poor girl had to listen to her family crying and dying around her as they all hung upside down in the overturned car. She had many, many years of therapy to cope with it all.

Such a beautifully written post and it moved me to tears. I am sorry that this happened and sorry that such a club exists. It is too sad.

heartbreaking. Makes me want to hold my kids that little bit tighter and be so so so thankful for them.

I belong to this club, almost 10 yrs now. : ( I feel for her, but as you know, nothing helps. Your arms are empty and your heart is shattered. The pieces never go back together the same.

This falls under the category “this f***ing sucks”. No other words can describe it. I will pray for the family.

Dawn sent me by.

I lost my son, Matthew, to SIDS at three and a half months in September of 2003. i am going on 4 and a half years and sometimes I wonder if I have even made any progress.

So much of what you said is accurate. We may all be very different in our grief, but some things about it are universal.

I found a brand new site that a few of my blogging friends formed. It’s just getting started, but if you would ever care to swing by, you would be more than welcome.

It’s SO not fair I’m in tears here for both of you, I can imagine your feelings are very raw today.
I can understand the food thing though, that was one thing I couldn’t do when my baby was in NICU, I was just too numb too cope with that too.
