I know it may not sound like much comfort - but try reading the book of Job in the Old Testament. I have found some solice there after the death of my own son. You had some hard choices to make and God has blessed you with new life in your new daughter. You will find that everyone here is willing to listen and offer support in many ways. Gail has some really powerful suggestions on coping. Some I have used. I also put together a scrap book of pictures of my son which helped. My prayers are with you. ~ Ann

Robert - reading your story of your three beautiful Angels puts my own grief into perspective - I know how much it hurt to lose one child - to lose three - I cannot imagine.
But you have been given a coping mechanism with the birth of your new daughter.
You will have to trust me that life does get easier - I always tell people to take on day at a time because it's as much as we can do. Our whole life has been turned upside down and the future we had planned has been snatched away. Your grief is also still very new and raw. This is a long and hard journey we have found ourselves on - all we can do is stumble on blindly and reach out to others when we are struggling.
One of my coping mechanisms is to have a Celebration of Life party for my daughter. My friends gather here and we remember her and release balloons, filled with love, into the evening sky. It helps to have friends around who can support and understand and I hope you have many of them. This is a time of talking - so talk till you cannot talk anymore, rememb your beautiful Angels and cry - because crying is also healing. Maybe you can do something special each year, plant a tree or just go lay flowers. It really does help to be doing something - even though it hurts like hell.
Are you seeing any counsillors or talking to anyone? - I don't know where abouts you are but the Compassionate Friends have groups all over and they are some of the most wonderful and understanding people I have known.
I'm so sorry to hear about your stroke and hope that you are feeling a lot better now. I have quite a few friends who have suffered the same but they are managing well now on meds. Watch your diet, take regular exercise and you should be fine. Concentrate on being well enough to watch your children grow and take some little comfort from knowing that your little Angels are together and free from any pain and suffering. You are obviously a very wonderful Father - don't feel bad for having a second chance at happiness.
Sending you blessings and healing light - our Angels will always watch over us
Gail

I know there are a few of sharing anniversaries in the next few days and I just wanted to let you know that I am holding you all close to my heart and hope that our united strength will get us all through these dreadful times. I'm missing my Angel so very much and am having problems with some memories I usually don't like to deal with. I'm sure I'm not the only one - so how about a group hug ((((((((((((((((((((((HUGZZZZZZZ)))))))))))))))))))

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
