Introduction

When I think of people who have intents to harm me or my loved ones my thoughts immediately go to serial killers, child molesters, rapists, hired assassins, drug dealers, people like that. How many of you added a doctor or attorney to that list. I know I would not have, but now I most certainly would.

As parents our wishes and desires for our child or children are for them to grow up whole, happy and successful. We have dreams and pray that they will become doctors, professors, teachers, astronauts, engineers, judges; the list could go on and on. But the one thing that we do not expect is for our child or children to proceed us in death.

On January 8, 2011, when nine year old Christina Taylor Green died from a fatal gunshot wound while attending one of Congress woman Gabriel Gifford’s town meetings I really identified with Christina’s parents. They experienced their daughters’ untimely and unexpected death that changed their lives forever as they knew it. Like me, the hopes and dreams for Christina only live now in her parent’s hearts and thoughts.

I understood the pain that her mother, father and brother felt and I prayed that God would comfort their hearts and minds. Christina’s untimely death was a sad reminder for me because of my son’s sudden and untimely death. I was so broken hearted for her family.

The day my son died my dreams for him died. My hopes for his future died and a part of me died also. Losing a child is a devastating trial that slams you up against a wall. Literally taking your breath away!

I want you to picture in your mind your most valuable and treasured possession. Is that possession in the forefront of your mind? This is something you simply cannot live without. Now imagine your beloved possession smashed into hundreds of pieces onto the floor. Instantly you gasp for air, and then you feel your heart break and sorrow sets in every part of your body because something you loved so deeply is gone forever.

Now exchange your heart for your valuable, treasured possession that is destroyed forever. Unspeakable pain that is what it feels like to lose a child.

The sudden loss of my son caused me to shift from love to hate, from forgiveness to unforgiveness, from peace to chaos, from joy to mourning and from comfort to pain. My son never should have died. But his death changed my life forever and has made me a much better person than I could ever have imagined.

As you continue to read my story, my prayer is that you too will find yourself giving your grief from the loss of your child, children or other loved one over to God. He is faithful and truly worthy of your trust. God will give you victory over your mourning, your pain, depression, and sorrow. He will put the pieces of your broken heart back together. I have experienced God’s healing power. I know without a doubt that God can and will heal you too.

Ivanne Rhoades

The Lord is my light and my salvation;

Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life;

Of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked came against me

To eat up my flesh

My enemies and foes,

They stumbled and fell.

Pslam 27:1-2

CHAPTER ONE

He Was My Whole World

I was twenty two years old, joyful, optimistic, and enthusiastic. I served God and had a wonderful relationship with Him. At this time in my life I was trying to figure out my career path which was either computer information systems or accounting. I had studied both while attending the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

During the spring of 1987 while my sister’s husband, a Marine, was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, I went to stay with her to help with my niece while she lived in Suitland, Maryland. As soon as I arrived in Suitland, I made myself at home. I looked for a job. Immediately I became an assistant manager for a gift shop. One day while I was working, a handsome man with a very sexy voice walked into my store. He wanted to purchase a gold necklace, and as we talked his conversation focused on me. He asked, Where are you from?, and other things about me. By the time he left the store I had a date for that evening. After that night, our relationship flourished.

As our relationship progressed, he would often say to me, You are very naïve, and you view life through flowered glass windows. You see everyone in a rose garden and people are not how you perceive them. People are mean, he would say, They can and will hurt you for no reason. He felt I needed to be educated and taught how to survive in the treacherous city. He continued to say, City people are not like country folk. I would listen because he was correct. I am, and I always will be a country girl.

After several months of dating we began to grow apart. Then we found out that I was expecting our baby. Sadly we could not rekindle our relationship, but that did not change the smile on my face about my baby. Four months before my baby’s due date I returned home to live with my parents. Rather than focusing on losing my baby’s father, I focused on being a mother. I knew that when I completed college I would be able to support us. Being a good role model for my child was very important to me. I found a part time job and I planned to continue my education after my son or daughter was born. Life was good.

During one of my appointments to my obstetrician, I was told that the sonogram revealed I would soon have a daughter. I was shocked because so many people were telling me that I was going to have a boy. I got comfortable with that. After the sonogram I started shopping for pink apparel. I bought t-shirts, night gowns, booties and even pink rattles. Still I longed for a boy, but I was told that I was having a girl.

My sister Shana had a son, Dorian, who would be five months and two weeks older than my baby. If I delivered a boy the cousins would be best buddies. I believed the doctor and prepared myself for my baby girl.

During this time in my life, pregnant, working, and out of relationship with my baby’s father, my relationship with God grew closer and stronger daily. As I got closer to my due date, I
