\nby an unplanned incident
\nthat took her man away from her
\nthat took a dad away from his boys<\/p>\n
My.

Because I can\u2019t tell her Because I know this is all total bullshit right now Maybe But right at this moment Because This wasn\u2019t the post I planned on writing today. But then a lot of things in life aren\u2019t planned. In a split second our lives are changed transformed into an unimaginable hell when something completely unplanned happens I know and you know that accidents happen every day every hour But\u00a0most of us just\u00a0cruise\u00a0on through life … Continue reading “Empathy in pain”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=821"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":826,"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/821\/revisions\/826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybigballofstring.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nI know<\/strong> her pain
\nI can still feel that\u00a0pain
\nIn the depths of my soul
\nI feel<\/strong> her pain<\/p>\n
\nit\u2019s going to be ok
\nI can\u2019t tell her
\nshe will heal
\nI can\u2019t tell her
\nshe is young enough to find another man
\nI can\u2019t tell her
\nthat her boys will \u2018get over losing their Dad\u2019
\nI can\u2019t tell her
\nanything<\/p>\n
\nAll Laura needs & wants right now is Leslie
\nand she can\u2019t have him
\nand my heart weeps so strongly with hers<\/p>\n
\nHopefully
\nlike me
\nand many others before us
\nin time
\nshe will follow her road
\nto a place where she can \u2018heal\u2019
\nA place
\nwhere joy will overtake the sorrow<\/p>\n
\nwe as Kiwis<\/a>
\nneed to envelop her with love and support
\nand give her all we can to ensure
\nthat she can make it through
\nthese days & weeks<\/p>\n
\nonce the initial numbness\u00a0disappears
\nit is going to hurt
\nway way more than
\nI can ever\u00a0describe
\nThere are just no words
\nto express
\nthat pain
\nthat darkness
\nthat deep deep sorrow
\nthat comes from\u00a0the loving & losing…..
