I am working a lot these days. Yesterday, was no different and I got a rough call.
So I got a call, from a woman who's relative went to the 5 month ultrasound and it was tragic. There was no heartbeat. This woman was directed to me because I have taken over the fledgling group- H.U.G. (Holistic Understanding of Grief), and I was asked if I could attend to the relative as she went through her ordeal. Of course, I said yes.
It's heartbreaking and traumatic for anyone to experience this tragic event.The thing is, there's no perfect consolation. Words fail and actions are good... but there's always going to be a hole in the heart and consciousness. I ease the trauma, but not the pain.
Sometimes, my work is very difficult. Providing support is necessary - and when I get back from my trip to the states, I plan to expand HUG. I have been working so hard to bring awareness for the need in support for childbearing - this is included.
I had a hard day, but I turned it around... nachamu, nachamu... console, console.
May we only hear good news in the future.
The Hard Call...
