The Coble Family’s Tragedy and Miracle

After talking about how to grief the loss of a child I remembered watching an episode from the Oprah show titled "The Coble Family's Tragedy ahnd Miracle" which was extremley sad. A mother who took her kids out to a local mall to ride a Ferris wheel the day after her sons birthday. On their way back home they were hit from behind by a big rig loaded with 40,000 pounds of cargo going 55 miles per hour. The mom survived but she lost all three of her children (Kyle 5, Emma 4 and Katie 2). The parents talked about how they each dealt with grief process and how they at times wanted to be with their children, but they made a pact to stay with each other. About three months after losing their kids they decided that they would like to have more kids one day. They were eventually blessed with tirplets, one boy and two girls who were born exactly one year after the tragic accident. The couple daid this is a sign from up above. The story is very sad but also very interesting to see how people coped with the loss and how they found strength to include the three children who passed aways into the new triplets lives.
