Please

I didn't write this but whoever did sure knows what I want to say and how to do it. I found this on Hilary Weeks blog about how the song "Just let me Cry" came about.

Please, don’t ask….

Please, don’t ask us if we’re over “it” yet. We’ll never be over it.

Please, don’t tell us they’re in a better place. They aren’t with us.

Please, don’t tell us you know how we feel unless you have lost a child.

Please, don’t ask us if we feel better. Bereavement isn’t a condition that clears up.

Please, don’t tell us, “At least you had them for a time.” What year would you choose for your child to die?

Please, don’t tell us, “God never gives you more than you can bear.”

Please, just tell us you are sorry.

Please, just say you remember our children, if you do.

Please, just let us talk about our children.

Please, mention our children’s names.

Please, just let us cry.
