We want to a cookout with Kyra'friends in Missoula, They were so wonderful and I cried with them. Being at the place place she lived on earth has been very difficult, but the reality of her passing seems so clear now. Michelle I hope you find comfort at the gathering this weekend. Connie enjoy your visit with your family too. Teresa it is so true that people are put in our path when we need support, Linda I am so sorry for your loss, it has been almost 11 months since my daughter passed. I am ready to go home to Vermont where the reality of her death is more muted. Love to everyone on this page, lynn

Michelle I hope you find healing at the conference please don't forget to share your experience.  Linda age doesn't matter because we are always "mom".  Your pain is just as great as any other mother.

Linda I didn't get to touch, hug or hold my Michael either.  Because he wasn't found over the weekend they wouldn't allow me to see him.  I was so angry but now I realize it was for my own good.  I understand how it makes so unreal because it is as if they are just gone.

I did have a great vacation but I also had moments of guilt. I felt guilty I was enjoying myself and Michael wasn't here to do it with me.  I sat outside the airport in Miami fighting the tears and talking to myself.  Well talking to Michael.  I also had a mini break down one morning, kept it private on the balcony. I missed everyone, ok maybe it was I needed everyone. 

I went to the pool and ended up talking to this woman who lost her husband.  She was so in love with him.  The conversation pulled me back up.  The woman then told my girlfriend how much she appreciated the conversation with me without knowing how much I appreciated the conversation with her.  I just believe God puts people in your path and so Thank You God for putting Karen from Boston in my path.  She was a great substitute when I needed her.  I truly did miss everyone I have become so dependent on this site.

I'm sure it will be a poignant experience Michele. I will be with you in spirit.

It's not a group anyone should ever be a part of. As it's only been 3 1/2 months since losing my baby (she'll always be my baby even though she was 31) I've tried to find outlets for my grief. I know that friends and family try as they may but there is just no fully understanding this pain without, sadly enough, having the misfortune of experience.

Has it been long since losing your precious son? It helps a lot to have this site for expressing my emotions without judgment. I wouldn't even know how to find such a workshop as the one you've mentions.

Tomorrow and Saturday I'm attending The Compassionate Friends conference. About 1500 people will be in attendance. So many of the workshops sound good. It's hard to believe so many bereaved parents, siblings, and grandparents will be in the same place. It will be the first I've attended. I hope it's healing.

Linda, I'm so sorry about your daughter, Desiree. I understand what it's like not to have seen her. My son died while on a cruise. They took his body to the nearest island and he was cremated there. It makes it even more unreal...My heart goes out to you.

Happy (belated) Birthday to Kyra! Take care of your mom, honey; she misses you!

Yesterday was not a good day. I found myself consumed with the details of losing my only daughter Desiree' in a fatal accident. It was reported on line by the media and I couldn't help but go over every detail each had written.  I never had a chance to see her the day she left on the road or anytime after as we had her remains cremated. It still seems as though it's not real.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYRA!!!!

Kyra's birthday was hard for me. We all sat on the porch looking up at the mission mountains she loved signing her happy birthday and eating her favorite desert carot cake. Missing her presence so much.
