About Me:
I am a mother of 3 living boys, and I trying to put my life back together after a serious relationship filled with domestic violence and alcohol tore my family apart. i am back working and trying to regain my own strength, however I deal daily with my loss and grief issues, and wonder why people always tell you that time heals all.
About my Loss:
In August of 1999 my grandmother(whom was very young when I was born, and whom I was much closer to than my mother,)lost my stillborn in order to save my own life, and my mother was tragically hit by a car as a pedestrian all within 3 weeks. January 2000 my daughter started having grand-mal seizures as she turned 2 years old, and I tried desperately to keep her healthy, her father's family doubted the seriousness of her death, until April 9,2000 when my best friend had to call them because I couldn't to tell them my baby girl was gone. since then I have lost friends, paternal grandmother and watched other close family members get sick, always terrified of death. Somedays are ok, while other days, when things get complicated in life, I always go back to dealing etih the loss of my baby girl.

Hi Barbara,
I can't imagine losing a child. It would be unbearable for me. I wish I could hug you personally. So please accept a virtual hug. I'm just an email/message away. Feel free to pour yourself out here. It's a safe environment.

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

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
