I still love and miss you Danny.
Deann, it hurts any time someone new joins. I don't want to welcome anyone here but I'm happy you found us so we can support you, listen to you and be there for you as much as we can. We know all about the stupid comments. Some of us even know about being that stupid person before we were forced to take this journey. Again I'm so sorry you have to experience this lost.
I woke up feeling very sad and not sure why till I realized it is the 21st - my son, Steven died on December 21st - only 3 months ago. I ache. I want to talk about it but there is no one here who even knew him and I hate to have people feel sorry for me. I'm also afraid of comments like "He's in a better place" "Time heals all wounds" and more stupid comments. I feel badly because I probably said stupid things to other's who were grieving. So I will go for a walk, and thank God I live in such a beautiful place where the birds sing and the sun is warm. I will remember the walk I took with Steven two years ago that was so precious - where we shared our regrets and forgave each other. That memory is bittersweet. Glad to have a place where I can at least express my grief - with people who understand. Thank you
Rj - when you lose an only child, you lose that dream of your family continuing , of the joy of grandchildren and seeing your own child experience becoming and being a parent. It is heartbreaking and right now for you it is all a huge shock. Just do what you can. Little by little you will learn how to manage the pain. Somedays you won't and that's okay. Sometimes just walk. the rhythm helps, being outside helps. And remembering that the spirit lives on and that your child is okay and in no more pain. And right there with you always in your heart. Hugs
Adrianne, can't you just sign in using the old email address? I looked all around and don't see a place where you can change your email. They need to fix that. Send an email or message to Diana Y.
