Thank you, Jennifer. My heart is truly with you. My husband and I lost our only grandbaby/son on May 1 2015 from trisomy 13. 6 months later our only son, his Daddy, took his life while on active duty in the military. I can so relate to everything you said and this year…..9 years later I am at peace also. “The peace which surpasses all understanding”……And even joyful…….sadness and joy go hand in hand though now in my life. Hugs and much love to you and to your family. Merry Christmas……from one who knows……..
Your husband took his life? I am sooo incredibly sorry and I wish I can give you a hug!! My cousin was in the military as well and he took his life. He left a note for everyone to read together, and left notes for everyone for themselves. In the letter he left for everyone, you can tell he wasn’t okay. He played it off so well in person. I was only 10 when this happened. He was my older cousin and the closest one to me out of my dad’s nieces and nephews so when he took his life, I was so confused and it broke me. The older I got, the more I realized through the notes that he wasn’t okay. I still think “if only I was older and he could’ve talked to me.” It was like I was blaming myself in a way even though no one knew. He mentioned in the note for everyone, that he has a lot of ptsd and trauma and tried to get some help but he just couldn’t take it anymore. I remember being at my aunts house too when some military officers came and told us. Because he was like on site when he took his life. He was away from home. I understand not everyone is gonna have ptsd from the military, but he clearly did. (It would be normal to have ptsd after being in the military just saying). So now it triggers me when I hear a military horn being blown like as an alarm, or whistles, and gunshots. (Gunshots also scare me cuz I was in a school shooting my freshman year, no one was injured and they caught the person thank goodness) but gunshots trigger me for obvious reasons. But whistles, fireworks, horns, they genuinely make me extremely anxious when going off and PTSD is so real. No one understands till it happens to them. I’ve had many people ask how you can be afraid of those. Umm being in situations with those sounds, that’s how. Oh balloons popping scare me also. The only balloons I’m not afraid of are water balloons and helium balloons 😭 I feel so stupid cuz im 22 and still have those triggers. All the triggers started after he passed because I knew the basics of military. The noises and guns… so im very sensitive to sounds and I hate it because obviously before that, I wasn’t scared. Now I just don’t feel normal even though it is to feel that way.
Although the death of a child is devastating to the family, they can find some solace in the knowledge that the child's soul innocent of sin is near to God in the eternal realm, and that all the loved ones will eventually be reunited forever. God is Love.
Many years ago, I had a wonderful friend named Violet Hubbard. This would have been in the 70's in Seneca Falls, New York. Would my friend Violet have been a relative?
Not that the world revolves around me! But I took it personally since I thought my mission was fishing 🎣 while knowing there seems to be trouble with that hook to fish every single time

I read Jennifer Hubbard’s articles in the Magnificat and am always amazed by her faith. May God continue to guide her faith journey.

Do you mean me when you talk abt “Sandy Hook”?
My last name is Sabatini though, and I don’t even like being called Sandy! I go by Sandra
Is Jennifer Hubbard then Jennifer Hammers?
