Michele W Re: Need words of support for a family coming home

Michele-

You are so very right - in wisdom and in heart.

I am hopeful that these posts will give them the courage to insist, while the

wisdom of hindsight is not yet available to them.

We all do know. We say it with a weight that is not sadness or burden. We

claim it joyously and refuse to trade it away. We celebrate what is and we

celebrate being stripped bare of all false connections. We have learned the

essence of what is precious.

Yuka-

I can't remember where I was recently, but there was discussion among folks

who knew that " not covered " is not a final word in insurance. Many things

that aren't covered in the plan as written can be covered when the

alternative is to cover a lengthy hospitalization.

I wish there was a way to instantly give new parents the wisdom and

confidence that come with " been there, done that " . Just as I'd like to wave

my magic wand and give the wisdom of years to my teen! I hope this family

can use our suggestions to get things in order for themselves and their

baby. It's not just the baby that will suffer if support is not provided.

It's the family as well that will fall apart in so many little ways. We all

know, don't we?
