Valeria's Story

Valeria lost a child.

There is a hole in her heart every day.....

But, she says Sundays are the very worst.

Sitting in the pews, she is keenly aware of the happy families all around her.  She sees them smiling, touching, and it only serves as a reminder of what she has lost.

Sometimes, she says her mind goes back and she says, "What IF .....?"

It eats away at her.

Her husband struggles with it also, so it's difficult for them to talk about it with each other.

For Valeria, she tries to be positive, upbeat, and not dwell on it, but the hole is always there.  However, there is never a sense of total JOY or happiness.

Valeria concluded that the future scares her.  "If THAT could happen, what else might?"

I wish you peace, dear Valeria.
