Julia immediately understood Cheryl's feelings now and continued, "Mrs. Forrest, I'm like you. My only daughter left me forever when I was 44. When she passed away, she was already eight months pregnant. One body, two lives! At that time, I felt like the sky collapsed. My husband and I didn't know how to move forward..."
Recalling the past, tears filled Julia's eyes.
At that time, she had thought about dying.
Hearing this, Cheryl looked back at Julia unbelievingly.
Julia continued, "Who would joke about such a thing? If I could, I would rather be the one who died."
These words resonated deeply with Cheryl.
She also wished that she could be the one who died instead of her baby.
"But Mrs. Forrest, we have to keep moving forward in life," Julia said, holding Cheryl's hand. "An ending is actually the beginning of something new. Our children have just moved on to their next journey, and we have to take the rest of the journey for them and not let them worry."
"Life isn't easy."
