Angela's mother asked me recently, "Does it ever get any better? Does the pain ever lessen with time?"
We were interrupted as I paused to try to formulate an answer that would not lead to despair. I know the question will be brought up again.
The pain never goes away. It's always there and will always be there. Some how, each day we find the strength to deal with it. We don't have a choice. We were not asked if we wanted this burden. We did not choose to lose our children or to have to endure this great sadness. Our choice is not whether we will deal with the grief but rather how we will deal with it.
