My parents lost 2 sons on the same day before I was born. My mom never got over it. She completely changed says my older sister. It would do that, I think, if you let it. My mom always said that she hated when well meaning people would say: "At least you have other kids!" as if that made up for it. Thoughts and prayers to the Weber Family!!

A family in our homeschool group lost two children in a car accident last year. As though it could get any worse it happened on the mom's birthday....on Mother's Day. These kids were good friends with my kids and to see the ricochet effect of not only the family's loss but also how it affected so many people associated with them through work, church, and school was equally heartbreaking.

Before I had them, I had no idea what I was missing. Mamas have an almost undefineable capacity to love and feel compassion. Now, the incredible magic of children is known to me and the death of any child is a tragedy on a universal scale. I am going to sneak into my children's rooms right now, check their breathing (as I do everytime) and kiss them....

It seems all that can be done is to keep memories and stories of the child close...I can't imagine such a thing. My thoughts are with your roommate and her family.
