I made it through the last two months, I wasn't sure I would. I was very scared. I made a plan but I didn't carry it out. I pray I never feel that bad again and if I do I pray for strenth to never carry it out. It's been years since I've felt this bad. So you see greif comes and go's. It's in and out like a rainy day. If I can just get through the rainy period I can make it, I can survive. You know how people say stupid things to those who have lost loved ones. Well a lady came up to me and asked me why I haven't killed myself seeing as both my sons are dead. For the first time in my life I was at a loss for words. The pissed off side of me wanted to punch her in the face but the reasonable side of me won me over and I just walked away. Now the holidays are coming and I think I will put on a brave face this year and do my sadness by myself. I have many good memories of the holidays with my boys. We live on a farm and part of the farm is a tree farm and when the boys were alive we would go out to the tree patch and cut down a tree for Christmas. The last year my little boy was alive I sent him and his older brother out to the tree patch to get a tree pretty soon I heard aome singing coming from the road. Here comes my boys dragging a Christmas tree and singing at the top of their lungs "Oh Christmas Tree" I remember I laughed and I cried all at the same time. To this day that is my favorite Christmas story and one of the best memories of my boys I have and I treasure it in my heart forever. I have come to the conclusion that God does not do this stuff to us but life does.We are not alone. There are alot of people ou there that have experienced lots of tragedy and together we can help eachother get through this holiday season just by keeping in touch.

Dear Ann,
You are so welcome. Honestly I couldnt live without the good memories. When the pain gets to strong I try to only let it last for a breif amount of time and then I reroute my thoughts. It works for me and I know my sons will never leave me as long as I keep the good memories in my heart. Blessings to you and yours also. Love is a gift that keeps on giving and never dies.

So sorry to hear of your two sons, but want to thank you for a happy memory. I find that so helpful in my own loss when I'm able to think about those good times, but when it's over the pain seems to return in full force. It's worth it though. They are worth it. Blessings to you and yours during this time of the year.

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
