[quote=Anonymous]I am so very sorry to hear this. We lost our son on his six month birthday. He had a series of medical challenges and spent virtually his entire life in the hospital. As amazing as medical technology is, children's hospitals are a special kind of hell that I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

We held a service for our son a week after he passed away. We relied upon the support of our friends and family to prepare a service that acknowledged our son and his place in our lives. The service was important to us to provide some closure.

In light of everything we went through, we felt we needed to get away afterwards (we had another, two year old son who hadn't seen much of us for the previous six months). As crazy as this sounds, we went to DisneyWorld. We wanted to go someplace where we would be occupied so we weren't constantly thinking about what happened, as well as a place that would allow us to re-connect as a family. We didn't want to sit around at home, and we weren't ready to return to routine.

In some respects, life moves on. But in other ways-and perhaps when you least expect it-you will feel overwhelmed with sorrow, even years after the fact. You do the best that you can, which while it may not be enough to change your situation, hopefully is enough to give you some comfort. [/quote]
