The Hardest Job Of All

 
 
"There is nothing more painful in this world than facing day after endless day without your child in it...
Everything is changed - We are changed.
Bereaved mothers look into the mirror and face a stranger. 
Who is this woman now? 
 This woman without her child?
How will she make it through this day, this hour, this moment?
 It's a wretched and indescribable longing which so many cannot begin to comprehend because they tuck their own children into bed at night...
Being a mother to a child who died is no easy burden.  It is the hardest job of all..."
 
--Dr. Joanne Cacciatore
