The death of a child is the most unbearable that may affect a human being. Those who have gone through this kind of experience, beyond the cause that produced the loss, illness, accident, suicide or homicide, are thrown into a deep existential crisis hard to beat.
Since 1988 works in the country, "Rebirth, a non-profits designed to help parents going through this experience. From the collaboration of people with similar conditions can overcome the pain and be happy again.
"It's true you can be happy again, but differently. Life no longer be the same again after the death of a child, but you can move forward, "said Graciela Stonemasons, a member of" Renacer "who, from his own experience, he learned to transform the pain and helplessness in love toward others. Diego
When he died, just three days after birth, Grace felt his world was collapsing. He faced also the need to keep up to care for her eldest daughter, who by then had three years. Almost by chance heard of the group and joined them. Gone through their own grief, decided to continue to help others.
explained that "the goal is to help other parents learn to live without their children and reconnect with life." Groups Rebirth, which operate throughout the country, but spread to Uruguay, Chile, Mexico, Spain and Paraguay are comprised between 20 and 40 people are to "express the pain of each and enrich the testimony of others, "he said.
"What we want is to connect the pain with the best memories of our children. It is not easy but possible, although it is a job every day. Sometimes getting up is an effort, but you have to afford to be wrong and mourn all necessary, "said the representative of the entity.
groups Rebirth are free, work once a week and include social gatherings, workshops and lectures.
Experts say that the time of grief is individual and different for each person. Therefore, Grace says that "we must learn to be patient, because it is difficult to endure so much pain." Groups allow
look in the mirror of the other, which is healing, "If others could I too will be" is the message that is trying to convey.
"The pain leaves a mark which gradually is transformed into a scar" Stonemasons said, for whom "death of a child is unnatural. You can be ready for other losses, but not for this. "
Rebirth aims to transform the pain into something positive, "for which both faith and the ability to help others going through the same thing is fundamental. The message we try to convey is that you can re-take projects and feel right to life, "he said.
One slogan of the organization is that each group comes with two pockets. One to save that which is good and the other to do the same with that which you do not agree but on another occasion, you can serve.
The groups are made up of people of different ages and life experiences, but with a common pain and, in recent years, nourished by the arrival of new members, as many parents of victims of Cro-Magnon.
"What we saw is that when it comes to violent deaths, parents who put in the hands of professional and legal issues are devoted to mourn, get over it better," he said Stonemasons, while clarifying that "While many groups work in parishes, are open to the entire community. They have medical, religious or psychological, are and are
only consist of parents who have lost their children, regardless of religion which is professed. "
"Many parents get angry," he reflected God. And personally, I think it's good to have, at least, who upset. "
also clarified that the fact of belonging to a support group does not eliminate the possibility of seeking professional help. "Anything goes and everyone should do to help you succeed. Cuesta recur permission to enjoy the beauty of life. So we aim to reading, the phone call where the other side has someone who understands and restraint, "concluded the representative of" Renacer " which has recently joined the group activity for siblings.
