Do you ever come back from this?

On September 6, 2016 my sister made the choice to take her 11 month old son off of life support. He sustained a TBI on the 5th while in the care of a babysitter. We were told originally that it was an accident, and we did our best to cope with that.

On Halloween the Detective handling the case informed us that it was not an accident. That she had done this to him on purpose. That she had slammed his sweet little 30 pound self to the ground to make him stop crying. He said that he was most likely crying because he had sustained 3 other head injuries prior to the final one. The ME told us that it was instant and he never felt the final blow, but that doesn't keep the terrifying thoughts away. Was he scared? Did he know she was hurting him? Why couldn't she just walk away.

The hardest part is she gets to enjoy her Christmas. The State's Attorney, ME, and Detective will meet on January 5, 2017 to decide what they will charge her with, and we will be notified of her pending arrest. I want her in jail right now. She shouldn't get to enjoy her holidays.

I just don't know how my family is supposed to come back from this. It was already hard enough losing him, and now this. It all such a mess.

I am so sorry for your unspeakable loss.

The only Hope I have comes from my faith in the Bible.

There are actually 8 accounts where someone who had died was brought back to life. 3 Children are among those accounts.

I believe that the same thing will happen in the future right here on earth....in paradise.

This doesn't take our pain away but it gives me something to look forward to

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
