the injustice
July 23rd, 2009 by Christine
Yesterday I received news that my cousin’s 1-year-old daughter, EL, had suffered some seizures the previous night. CT scans revealed EL’s brain was swelling, and there was not much doctors could do because the cancer had already infiltrated her skull. My family then had to make the very tough decision to pull EL off her therapies and just control her pain with meds, and in a few days, she would go home to be with the Lord.
This morning at 5:47 AM PST, EL passed away peacefully.
I have mixed emotions about this whole thing. Although I cannot fathom what it must be like to see your only child’s deterioration right before your very eyes in less than a month, my heart struggles to accept the injustice. EL was so young, didn’t know wrong from right, and yet she was given this fate. I know God has a plan in it all, but I also know that this is probably not what my family wants to hear at this time.
While I’m sad EL had to leave the earth in this way, I am also sort of glad her pain and discomfort was not dragged out longer than necessary if that was God’s intention anyway. I think watching her suffer might be harder than starting on the grieving process of etting her go. Hopefully, now they can begin that grief.
Now I am really anxious about my L.A. trip next month. I want to see my family but don’t know how I am going to handle their sadness.
That’s terrible. My condolences to your family. I would never want to experience burying my child. Times like this where its hard for me to honestly hold faith.
