Thanks Donna, your story has given me hope for little Daphne, i strongly believe in miracles, lets hope she is one of them, your story really brought tears to my eyes, and what a brave mother you have been,I am sure your strength and support is what helped her recover.
yes I am proud of Melissa too, she has shown compassion and strength, I am sure she will help Daphne as much as she is able.
PLEASE everyone PRAY for Daphne, I have seen the power of PT Work before.
You are the only one who knows what you child can process some kids are ready some are not . Sounds as if she is a very ready girl, I think the truth about the girls desease and the loss of socal freinds should also be explained so she can be ready, to so to speak, defend her freind. In a way you have time to prepare her for it all. My daughters freind (one of my best freinds son) died of an pool accident . It was only a couple hours from playing with him to a call that he was gone . He was 6 and my daughter was 5 . That was hard to explain but I must have done it right cus after seeing this thread she told me how she apprechated how I handled it. (who would think at 22 she would still remeber it) . Just keep the talk going between your selves let her know if she has questions you and she can try to find the answers together. It could be a way to strenghten your bond as well.
Kids can get asome really weird messages as information ,it can really upset them so keeping communacation open you can make sure she has the right info.
Prayers from Montana are going out to your family and the little girl.
Thank you Corinna you advice is most welcome, I agree with everything you have written , and indeed I will do my best here to advice Melissa, and encourage her to keep the contact with her sick friend.:)
We saw Daphne on the TV last night, she was at Ronald Mcdonald House , where sick children and their parents stay, during their illness, our NZ IDOL show was there and she got a hug from one of the contestants.:)
How sad to hear about Daphne. I too would tell your daughter the truth about what's happening with her friend.
I'll keep her in my prayers.
My thoughts go out to Daphne, her family, you and your daughter.
How very sad. :( Though it looks like you got some wonderful advice.
Yes I have indeed received some helpful advice Ramanth, that is why I Love PT so much, there is always someone who has experienced something you have not, and can help you through almost any situation.
