Before and After

The link at the bottom of this post is very interesting. It is about the before and after of a loss. Before we lost our son, we were pretty regular people. We didn't focus on the sad things we focused on the happy. We were our own fair weather friends. After our loss, I realized fair weather friends are a waste, a tease if you will. I thought they would be around when we lost our son. They were not. I have found, it is easy to be around for happy times, but far more meaningful to be around during the sad and hard times. I have learned that even the smallest effort makes a huge impact when you are going through a difficult time.....especially the loss of a child. It has taught me to go the extra distance, make an extra effort to comfort someone going through a loss. It makes all the difference in the world.
