Broken
Startled from a fitful doze wherein she had been having nightmares of her violent ex husband, Martha Thompson sprang up in bed, heart pounding. A bang. She had heard a bang downstairs. Tossing back the covers she went to the window, drawing back the curtain with a shaking hand. The only car in the driveway was her own old Dodge, but Bart could have parked down the block. A high wind was blowing and rain pelted the window. A flash of lightning lit up the sky illuminating a face in the glass. Martha screeched, jumping back a step before she realized it was her own streaked reflection. “Crash!” Breaking glass. Downstairs. It had to be Bart. Somehow he had found them.

Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
