WINTER NEEDS TO GO AWAY NOW... what a nightmare February has been.... I WANT THIS HIDEOUS WEATHER GONE !!!

Comment by Dolly on February 15, 2015 at 11:41am

as time goes by nobody asks anymore... that's ok in most ways but then I need to talk about Brandon... and when I do some if not most people seem uncomfortable as if I shouldn't be thinking and talking about him anymore now that it's going on two years... TWO YEARS... as if I will EVER forget him and stop talking and thinking about him... I guess they think I'm just hanging on to memories that I should pack away somewhere now time has passed... but the memories of him bring him a little closer... and of course I know most people think I'm a total maniac for believing in any 'signs' I might see or hear or sense on another level... its so lonely out there in that world... in here its kinder and gentler as we share... and grieve... the clock is ticking towards Brandon's 24th birthday....

Sharon so very sorry to have to welcome you to our group. My beautiful son was 18 when I lost him October 27th.  It's the worst thing ever, the pain is unbearable.  So sorry and drugs are taking so many of our babies, it's just sickening. Sending you hugs.

I hope Zell finds help in here... I didn't want to hurt her more but this month is tearing me up... Brandon's birthday month...and there have been times when I felt like it could have turned out differently if only I had checked him SOONER instead of going out to the balcony for a morning cup of coffee first...I had no clue what was going on as I sat there enjoying my coffee... and it makes me feel like such a horrible mother.... so I guess when Zell talked about 'almost' losing her son it just was the last thing I could hear... sorry Zell... and also since my husband has been fighting his health issures I am terrified of losing him TOO and so its hard for me to put it all together without imploding or exploding... and I guess this time I exploded emotionally... I hope Zell can find help somewhere in here though... I would never wish a grieving person to be alone...

I feel for you Sheri. You may feel like everyone around you is there for your husband, but we are here for you. You're not alone.

I saw the response Zell had for Dolly. I would never minimize anyone's grief but it is very obvious by her response she is just another person who just doesn't "get it."

While she made an attempt to relate to us, she just can't.  This is a grief you just can't begin to understand until your child is the one gone.

For me melting down and then reading things like "almost" and "relieved" felt like being teased.  I wish my situation was "almost" but it's not.

Now to try and tell us it is our fault she is walking away from support is just terrible wrong.  We expressed to her how she was affecting us and  instead of just quietly backing out she wants to justify herself and tell  us it is our fault she is walking away form support. 

I truly think there is a reason rooms are divided on here.  I think it is much more helpful to talk to those who share the same experience. 

I would never go to a site for a lost spouse and start telling people how to face it.  Simply because it is not my experience. 

We all recognized her grief while she recognized none of ours.  Yes I'm feeling angry. 

Zell I wish you the best and again I'm sorry for your loss.  I hope some day you find love again.

Sharon, it is never easy to see someone join us. I am so sorry you have to live this.  My heart and prayers are with you as you try to understand this.  Please know we are here to support you and to share what we are learning as we travel down this road.  Troy loves you and always will.

Zell, I have to agree with Dolly and others that have posted. I would never deny your grief is not all consuming. We all are grieving. I have lost my parents and I grieve for them but in no way is it the same as losing my son. There are other on-line groups right here that you may be able to benefit more. You may find more in common with others there. You have no idea what it is to lose a child, I am sorry but no matter how close you were to your partner you did not give birth to your partner. The grief is not the same...I am sorry Zell but I did not understand why you were in this group.

TERESA I'm sorry... I just posted a bunch of comments on YOUR PAGE by mistake... I meant them for someone else who's comments in here were upsetting me... I'm a total dork....

Hitting me

My daughter did MAID last Tuesday and I've been holding up okay.But just now the Christmas convoy (trucks all lit up that do an organized drive through our small town) went by and suddenly I just started crying, thinking how my girl won't be around to have these small moments. And not that she would have - she wasn't a huge Christmas or celebration person. So I don't know why I'm sitting here crying about it.Oh this is going to hurt a lot :-(See More
