Can I have your attention please

I am writing this blog from sixteen years of experience of having special needs kids. My two teenage autistic blessings were or I should say had to be put in group/facility homes on February 8and 11. It has been difficult coping with out them the grief and so many questions and the want to blame ourselves is there but I will get through it. Yes we get to see them but they are an hour and a half apart in different directions. In spite of the grief I am going to continue this blog. Studying and learning how to help educate those who are curious about certain disabilities ext. With that being said and it being Autism Awareness month I am going to give 6 Things you should never say to any parent(special needs or not ) that is grieving a loss of a child be it through death or placed in someone elses care. 1)There in a better place where they will be well taken care of. 2)At least you have other children to take care of 3)Sometimes God allows things like this to happen to you so you can help others(their is a time and a place to say that..tequinically not in the first hours or days of a childs departure from this earth or in my case from my home. 4)How did your child die ? Or why were they taken from you ? 5)Maybe if you had more faith in God this would not have happened 6)God knew you needed to rest from the burdens of caring for you child What can you to help grieving parents.....to be continued.
