I agree with you Connie, I make it through to the end of each day by hanging on to the fact of seeing my sons, Jesse and Taylor again.

Kim, I won't be celebrating any holiday either. I would not do anything at all even for Christmas if it were not for my grandchildren.

I am having an especially sad day today. Lots of crying and angry my daughter is not with me. These feelings can sometimes come out of nowhere and slam you down hard. I think what you said Connie about knowing they are safe and alright is all we can hope for until we see them again. Love to all here.

My son was already planning to be with us for Thanksgiving. I know holiday's will be the hardest but, he wanted a traditional thanksgiving so in his honor that is what I am doing because he would want it that way

Kim, I know holidays are the hardest, try to focus on the years you did have with Shawn.  Cook that dinner he would have loved.

Lynn is right for us it becomes minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.....

Connie for me you hit it right on the head.  I totally relate to your words.

Kim - sweet of you to say - we are part of a family here

Josette I am so sorry this is happening to you all at once. But no - you're not the only one feeling tested. We go along thinking that life will work out the way we expect it to, that we will live long happy lives with our children following their dreams and with grandchildren all around. I will never have either. We have been thrown into accepting the harshest reality. We all die. As we get older more and more people around us pass. As my husband said "it's like rain" (we are 57). 2 weeks after my son died, my dear aunt passed. 3 weeks ago my cousin (my aunt's son) who is 2 years younger than I, hung himself. 2 kids from my son's high school committed suicide by jumping off the school roof this past year. The sadness is overwhelming and yet we must learn SOMETHING from this - that no one is guaranteed tomorrow - not even the children - time on this earth is fleeting - love is all there really is - so let nothing go unsaid to those you love. Through all of this horrific and blinding pain, I have been tested and it has made my faith stronger. I have to believe my loved ones are okay and still growing and experiencing something we cannot comprehend. I look forward to the day when I can be with my son and hear all about his adventures. And that he is with his sisters that died in vitro and with my Mimi. I have to believe or be forever pulled into darkness from this great loss.

I am wondering if the Man above is trying to test me. I have lost 3 family member in 3 weeks. First my son, the following week my dear Uncle and last night my close cousin. Why is he doing this? People say "He only gives you what you can handle" or something like that. I really can't think clear as I just received this information about my cousin. It really has me in a whirl. The man above wants us to have faith? But why when he is taking the ones I love from me?  Why is he being selfish? Am I the only one that has ever felt like this? SO many questions and not enough answers.
