That's funny. I wish her luck. Truthfully, those rules are almost harder to enforce in the beginning then doing the stuff yourself...but if she'll hang in there; it'll be worth it! Proud of her. Nobody is supermom, regardless of what they might think.

I have read Cheryl's site for a long time, after you gave us the link. I find that she really uses her writing to work through the emotional strains that their battle entailed. Our family went through a similar set of devastating losses in 1990. My youngest brother's 10 day baby girl, Cameron, died unexpectedly. It hit our family and friends like a ton of bricks. My middle brother had his second child, Krista, a few month before and Tina , my wife, was 7 months pregnant with our second, Adam. A death of a child, no matter what the age is something no one is prepared for. It was an unbelievable emotional event. To go through the death, the consolation of family and friends and the funeral. Not a fun thing. Then, 17 days later, Tina calls from the doctor and tells me that the baby is dead! We have to go through delivering Adam, pick out a funeral outfit and do the funeral less than 3 weeks after Cameron's. Those two events in less than a month was unfathomable, but the grace of God brought us through. The funeral director and his daughter were friends of ours and even they were very emotional also. So, unfortunately, I can empathize to some degree with Cheryl and her family's loss and understand that it is something that you don't just get over. It is something that is part of you forever, especially for a mom. Even dad's have their moments of reflection and sorrow. It has been 17 years and there are times it seems like yesterday. Something happens to bring the thought of them up, and the emotion is just a real and intense as it was then. I admire Cheryl for the foundation and the help and support she gives to those who are in a similar situation, and the honesty and forthrightness in the way that she lays her emotional battles out for others to see.
