I don't think I'd survive it.

I am so very sorry for this couple. God grant them some measure of peace
and comfort. RIP little Tessa.

OMG
This is such a tragedy.....! Losing a child is the hardest possible thing to deal with. My parents lost their firstborn Christian in a similar accident (he fell in cooking water) when he was nearly 3 years old.
I wish Tessa's parents a lot of strength to deal with this tragedy!!

Dear little Tessa, you're an angel now!!

I did not go to the funeral. I know it's selfish of me but I just couldn't. I actually had a nightmare about it. It was an open casket. I got a card and will send it. I feel terrible for not going, I feel guilty. It was selfish of me to not attend and show my support. I am just sickened about the whole thing.

The older brother who was maybe 7 is holding a lot of guilt. Aparentlly he was the one who left the back door unlocked. Mom was in the bathroom and dad was running errands. The older boy will never, ever recover and this just is not fair. This should not have happened. It's all completely unfair. Now a precious little boy is blaming himself for the death of his baby sister. It makes a bad situation even worse.

Leslie, please don't carry a lot of quilt about not going to the funeral. I went to the calling hours of a three month old years ago. A cousins child, died from crib death. It was awful, just awful, babies and children are not suppose to die. I have no children. You having little ones, it most likely would have been very hard on you. {hugs}

Leslie - it is not selfish...if you were going to be too upset to be supportive, and that is ALL RIGHT, it is best for you to stay home. You are grieving too.

You are sending a card. I believe you will find ways to help as time goes by. Ask people very close to the family what they are needing right now, and see if there is something you can do there.

I pray dearly that the brother recovers and heals. If they are Christians by chance, then they know they are forgiven. This was an ACCIDENT...nothing more.

More hugs and prayers to you and to the family.
