Thanks to Poul for his comment.
In fact the suffering of your child is something very difficult to bear, even impossible. One feels powerless, useless, and hopeless not to be able to relieve the pain. In the long term this suffering kills the hope, because it leads you to wish the pain to stop at any price, even if it is by death…
How do you live this? Do you have ways to handle it, or advice to give?

A place to share and to express feelings, for parents of ill children
En français:
Introduction
The purpose of this blog is to offer to parents of children with a serious, chronic or disabling illness a place to express feelings and find support and comfort.
I don't wish to introduce any religious or spiritual connotation here but I hope that everyone will feel free to express their thoughts while respecting the beliefs of all participants.
I am the mother of a young man who passed away recently, after a 28 years battle against illness, but also, as he said himself, a rich and full life.
During his life I always felt the need for an official support group. I felt the lack of a sympathetic ear while looking for a place to express pain, doubts, hopes, and all the things that are part of the lives of parents of special children.
That is what I want to offer, hoping that your lives may become lighter from having shared difficulties with others who can hear you and understand you.
