Little Lulu,
Zahra is completely whole again!! We need to focus on that and not what was cast aside.
I've relayed this story before,but it might help.
After my son died I got some books for my ,then ,five year old to help him process his brother's death.One book was called "The Light of Stars" by Phyllis Glowatsky.
A girl is walking on the beach with her dog when she comes upon starfish washing up on shore.She spends the afternoon trying to help save them by throwing them back into the ocean,only to have the starfish wash up again.
As darkness falls and the stars come out ,the girl gives up ,but wonders why they have to die.Her wise little dog explains to her that the starfish were once stars in the sky ,but they saw the joy of the whales and sea animals ,and wanted to experience it for themselves. When they were done ,and ready to return to the heavens,they had to cast off their heavy earthly body in order to once again become a shining light in the sky.They had always intended to leave their bodies behind because they weighed them down.All she had to do was look at the night sky to see how bright the stars shine.
Whenever I hear of a child's body being discarded ,like trash,I try to remember they no longer need that body.They have a much better one now!
As horrific as Zahra's death is,I'm so glad EB and AB can no longer hurt her.
I wish EB could be sentenced to endure what she put Zahra through.
