Dolly, yes, grief can make you sick. In addition to gastritis, and a bunch of other things, I awoke today with the 7th cold I've gotten since Chris died. That's more than I've had in the past 20 years combined.

Grace, so glad you're here with us. We need you as you sometimes need us.

Connie, yes, trusting with faith can be more challenging now that our children are gone, but it's the only thing that gets me through. I'm glad you, too, found your special necklace.

A year ago today, Chris and his wife left on the cruise that he died on. Friday, the 21st, is his one year anniversary.

Michele, so glad you found your necklace. Of course he remembered his mom! I also felt that you would find that with the help of your special angel. It's funny, because I had lost a special necklace I wear in honor of my son and almost freaked out but felt and heard that little voice saying that I would find it and I did something amazing - I trusted my faith and didn't freak out. VERY unlike me as a I am the freak-out queen! For a couple of weeks, I have kept looking patiently here and there with no luck. Then yesterday, like you, I found it in a place I had looked several times. Just sitting there. Why is it so hard to trust that faith always? That is what I am working on. It's hard when you feel like your heart has been ripped out of your chest.

But organizing this drum circle for Daniel's birthday has gotten me in a more positive frame of mind. Just how everything is falling into place and I feel such closeness with him, like he is helping me each step of the way and knows about the "party" (I think because it was his idea). It will be a blessing to have all those he loves and who love him doing something he loved to do. I can't wait to beat on the drum and send out those vibrations right to his heart.

Peace to you all today. Sending you extra prayers Bern

and Happy St Paddy's day to any of you Irish folk out there. Don't forget to wear green

Thank you all for your kind words about my dream.... Friday was very hard... full of Snotty Nose Sobs...... but I'm ok.... this morning, as I was driving to work I heard  Sissy's Song by Allen Jackson... it was one from Niles' funeral.... and it says  "Don't Worry About Me" in the lyrics..... Ok Tears again flowed......  he is always on my mind..... I miss him so much... he was 14 and this year he was supposed to be 18....      Some days I think it has been 5 years... maybe I don't need this group so much any more..... but then I am so glad you are all here and I hope that I can show you all that we are 5 years down the road and some days are good but we still have our sad days... too.....

Friday a friend came by with Spaghetti and Meatballs for lunch and told me similar stories .... that Niles came to just give me a hug..... somehow though.. I still cry and will always want him back.

Michelle, I had no doubt that you would find your necklace. But the way you have got it is a miracle... the miracle of love...I often feel that we who are suffering so much have actually forever gained Love.

Thanks, Davi! It was a double blessing.
