each time hannah gets sick, everyone seems worried about whether i understand how serious hannah's decline in health really is. if i understand just how quickly she could go. if i get it....
well the mary jane i present to the world smiles sweetly and says softly, "yes... i've known her whole life i could lose her at any time. every minute of every day the thought never leaves me. it will be hard but it get it."
however.... the inside of my i rarely show the world is screaming... HELL NO I DON'T GET IT! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO GET IT! PARENTS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BURY THEIR CHILDREN...
won't it be ok and somewhat normal if i never 'get it'?

Yes, MaryJane, it's okay if you don't TRULY "get it", 'cause in my opinion, you can't completely and truly "get it" until it happens. There is no way you can anticipate what it will feel like, physically and emotionally. We thought we were pretty darn prepared when Jess died. Little did we know! But you do have a little bit of a headstart, in that you are writing about it, and your posts are sound. You'll get it, just not until it's time.
