Linda, I am so sorry. Have you thought about joking a support group? I have just been forcing myself to go out with my friends. I figure I am so sad all the time if I don't my brain will never have a break. Connie, sorry you're having such a hard time. It must be awful!!! Hugs to you both!

I've lost my luster for life. My husband has gone to D.R for the week and left me alone. Alone. This is all I feel anymore. Isolated. I realize it begins with me. I just can't find it in myself to be apart of "the living" anymore. What's happening to me???!!!!

Dolly the death of our child does bring so much loneliness along with the crushing sadness. When our other living family act remote or distant it makes us feel so abandoned and alone. It also brings back the intense feelings of loss. I can understand what you are going through. My 24 year old daughter moved back to Vermont this past October. My husband spent a few months turning a one room cabin on our property into a home for her. We had water brought in and had gas and electric connected. She started being very uncommunicative and acted like she didn't want us around. She told us two weeks ago she was moving back to Montana in April. I was crushed and the intense feelings of grief came flooding back from when Kyra died. I so wanted Genna to be back here with us and farm the land. Linda I have always felt spiritual in my life and always believed there was a god. After Kyra died I knew I needed to go back to church again because I needed something more. Instead of returning to a Catholic Church I joined a Congregational church and feel so welcome there. When loved ones die most people need assurances that life continues on. I know I do. Much love to everyone here.

Linda, I feel like I pray differently now. I used to pray for everything, like Dear God, Please help me find a job, or please help Taylor, etc. Now I just pray for strength. I don't believe God takes, I believe bad things just happen, and God gives us people in our lives to help us make it through....

Linda I always felt like I had a relationship with God and I always felt it was strong.  But your right, the power of God for me has grown even stronger. I know for some they lose their faith. 

For me to give up God is like saying Michael is not in heaven and I can't do that.  Michael is in heaven!!!!

I ask myself, have I always been this in touch with our Lord our Father?? And the true answer, the honest answer, is no. I've always had a connection but never to this degree.

So my question to us, you, has this been the case with you prior to the passing of our children?

Please do not misunderstand my question. God is good. I just need to know how it was BEFORE this nightmare.
