We Need To Be There We need to be there.. When the funeral is over and the phone calls cease.. We need to be there.. At 2am when a woman wakes up from a nightmare about the child she buried five years ago… We need to be there… When a father goes to his local Walmart, and standing in front of him in the checkout line is a son and his father. They are purchasing the first bat and ball. His son passed from cancer 13 months ago. We need to be there… When a woman finds that “old letter” from her beloved husband back when they were courting each other. Her husband died by suicide four years ago.. We need to be there… When a young woman finds out she’s with child. The best news of her life. She lost both her parents in a tragic car wreck six months ago. We need to be there… When a man finds out he got that promotion. He comes home to an empty home. His wife passed from cancer two years ago. We need to be there… A granddaughter wants to learn about sewing, history, and old family recipes. Her mother and grandmother died in a tragic fire nine years ago. We need to be there… A son wants to “pop the question” His parents were murdered 11 years ago. We need to be there.. A sister is having her first child. Her brother died last month from a blood clot. We need to be there…. A daughter is walking down the aisle. Her father passed 10 years ago. We need to be there… When it’s their daughter’s birthday. She been missing for 20 years. We need to be there… When our friends have tried for the tenth time to conceive a child. We need to be there…. When a mother and father lose their child at four months pregnant. We need to be there…. When your friends parents’ divorce. After 30 years of marriage. We need to be there…. When your friend has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. She’s not able to live her life as she once did. We need to be there…. When your friend has been bullied, and quits high school to get his GED. We need to be there….. When our friends beloved pet dies. They buried their dog 1 year ago today. We need to be there days, hours, and even years later. Grief does not just stop. Written By: Angie Cartwright
