I have created this blog as a place to process my journey- as I grieve the loss of our son Benji. You only need to join me if you choose to.☺ Writing is therapeutic for me and though my way of grieving may be completely different from someone else, perhaps my journey will give you a glimpse into what it means to grieve the loss of a child.

(Pt. 2) Watching my child's life slipping away before my very eyes...



 
That Dreaded News
Monday, March 11, 2013 7:19 PM CDT 

I can't believe I'm having to write this post, but we have some heartbreaking news. Obviously the eyes that we see with are not God's eyes and what makes sense to us doesn't necessarily make sense to God. This afternoon Benji was taken off the liver transplant list because after a full-body CAT scan, it was discovered that he has severe damage in most of his other organs. We don't know how long he has; the doctors say it could be days. My parents and Cory and Aaron arrived about a half hour after we received the news. Tyler was in Florida but was able to catch a flight and should arrive here around 11:00 p.m. We are SOOO grateful for all the support and prayers you've given over the years and especially the last 2 1/2 months. We ask for your prayers in the coming days, weeks and months as we learn to walk, one day at a time, on a path we've never walked, nor wish to walk. We are depending on God's grace, that has sustained us for many years, to carry us through this time as well. Thank you all you for all the prayers and love you've poured out on us!
