My son is so much more than a memory!

Back in October 2009, my 21 yr old was riding his friend's motorcycle down a residential street when he was rammed into another car. Thank God the occupants of that car were not seriously hurt but unfortunately, my son sustained a massive brain injury and he passed away a week later. My whole life changed in an instant, nothing could ever prepare a parent for this kind of nightmare. My faith has been weakened but not totally destroyed. I begged God to spare my son and take me in his place if… Continue

It's been a little over five weeks now since my daughter, Lyndsey, was killed in a motorcycle accident. Yes, she thought she was invincible... doesn't every 27 year old? That Saturday night she was going to a party at her best friends house...IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND THE BLOCK!!! No matter how old she was, I always worried when she went out! But, this time...going around the block...she could walk home if she had too much to drink or just spend the night like she's done before. She didn't… Continue

Three words to cause a resurfacing of old pain.

Couple of days ago, I had a conversation with a friend of Chris' on a social networking site. It was wonderful at first, because he reminded me that she'd spent time in the UK. (She'd told me, but it was one of those memories which got pushed aside at the end.) However, later on, it became tricky. We discussed the final times we'd talked to her (for me it was January 23, 2007.) He mentioned that he was able to have a conversation with her two weeks before her death. After this things got… Continue

Grief before death?

Anybody have advice about the time before death? My dad has a neurological condition and doesn't have too much longer, maybe 6 months to a year. Is it going to be an extended period of grief then?

Addie replied to Kali's discussion It was not supposed to be like this in the group Being the Other Woman/Other Man
"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
