Some things are beyond our control, and as parents of medically complex children, we learn this truth painfully. No matter how much we fight, how hard we try, there are moments when we are powerless to stop our child’s pain. The helplessness cuts deeper than words can express, and no amount of love can change what is happening.
In the face of uncertainty, we try to grasp for control—researching, planning, praying—but the truth remains: we cannot fix everything. Yet, in this space of helplessness, we discover a different kind of peace. It’s not the absence of fear, but the quiet acceptance that not all battles are ours to win. It’s a peace that exists alongside love, a love that remains constant and strong even in the most difficult moments.
