My child died...
Posted by: Anonymous, Atlanta, GA on Feb 09, 2009
Our Rabbi has steered us exactly as Rabbi Tiechtel has steered "pained" and although there are times in each and every day that I think of my Kip and some days I look at his picture in dis-belief....I get pleasure doing the miriad of things that I constantly do in his honor.
I would add that to have some reminder of the child, small enough to carry or wear every day is, for me, like having him with me at all times. I wear a wide gold band on my right index finger with KIP embossed on it and under it in hebrew.."your memory is a blessing forever". Amazing the comfort such a small thing can bring.

grief of a child
Posted by: Anonymous on Mar 23, 2010
I too buried my child. My heart and prayers go out to you for your loss. The grief after was compounded by the spiritual break-down that followed.
Some of the things that have helped me have been:
.Talking to other parents who have experienced grief.
.Respecting the process of grief. This takes much longer than most in our culture realize. I tried to "move on" at the pace others put forth, which was not possible. Patience with myself was necessary. There were many days that my only reason for going on were my other children. Don't be judgemental of how you survive the process, just try to survive.
.Doing mitzvot in my daughters name. Thus, making the gift of her life a much greater focus than the tragedy of her death.
.I have also found some comfort in knowing that I can not possibly understand G-d's plan. Maybe my daughters passing was placing her with G-d now, to prevent her from experiencing a greater trauma later in life. Our being apart is temporary.
Let me know if this helps yo
