Hi Anne

 Just wondering how you are these days. I just read your latest blog post and am SO sorry for all the physical problems you have to endure right now. It must be such a hard month for you and to have all this pain on top of it really sucks. I just want you to know that I think of you often and miss your posts. I know we all have to take a break now and then.  I am approaching Daniel's anniversary and it's so hard. I am always inspired  at your strength and endurance. Thank you for that and I hope you are feeling better soon. Love and prayers are with you. Connie

Anne..your just being blunt..should not scare people..true friends listen and care no matter what the situation is. 

Anne, how are you able to let your family prevent you from talking about your boys? You have the right to speak about them. It seems so selfish of them to put you on a guilt trip when you mention them. Have you ever told them just how much additional pain that puts you through? I would think that it would also create a "wall" between you and your girls. You're strong, but sometimes it's OK not to be.

Thank you Anne , Its good to have you as a friend as well. I have read many of your posts. My heart goes out to you . 

Great!! My Mom's 1 yr anniversary is on Friday...has been a rough few months. 

  Sometimes it's hard to read the threads on here, sometimes they just make me sadder, yesterday though; I had no problems and actually found some comfort.  Thanks again for accepting the friend request. BTW I have PTSD as well.

Anne,

I have not been posting on the wall as I am going through a relapse of sorts.  Numbness, sadness, anger, sudden tears, heartache all at once again.  Just waiting for another reprieve. 

I am sorry I didn't know earlier that today was Ben's 6th year gone.  Even though I know the pain of grief, I still don't know the words that could comfort.  Does anyone know?  Are there any words?  No, I don't think it's the words, it's the presence.  Someone's presence; whether in thought or physically.  So, I don't know any special words, but I do know grief and I am with you in my thoughts and prayers.  

I hope that you were able to find some good memories to help you through the day.

I also hope your health is better.  Take care.  (((HUGS)))

Thank you for becoming my friend is appreciated very much. Judy Edwards
