Dear Adrianne, we have a lot more than death in common. We have life, and out of all painful things also come the good. I have come to realize how much all of you have helped me deal with my own grief. Because of all of you past, present, and future, I have learned valuable knowledge that I use everyday to not only survive, but to heal what can be healed. Yes we do have the deaths of our children in common, and most of us probably wouldn't of even known the other existed without that common bond, but since we didn't get a choice in the death part its nice to know we have a choice as to how we deal with it, and helping each other on this journey is much better than treading this painful path alone. I have been walking this journey for a long time, and nobody wants to talk about it the way you all do here. Reading, and responding to all of you has been a gift I couldn't find anywhere else. This site has set me free, and taught me how to allow myself to let out the bad along with the good. I believe our pain is pretty much the same, but each of our journeys is different, and I have become a better person because of our common bonds, and our differences. Not to mention the healing that has taken place for me through all of you. I believe that God did not do this to any of us. However I also believe that we were brought together after the fact for a reason. To help each other. You are all very precious, and very brave for helping others especially when your hurting, and grieving yourself. Peace, and Love to all!
I almost forgot to mention that I loved all the pictures/graphics.
Happy Birthday Michael! You are Loved! Teresa I hope today as hard as it is, also brings you the comfort of knowing that your son Loves you! Peace to you today, and always.
Happy Birthday Don. Teresa, those are beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Well here it is Valentines Day. I wouldn't mind having my valentines here with me. I know that won't happen, but I can dream if I want too! I hope you all have a moment or two of feeling loved. Strange that Love is why we hurt so much.
Davi, I like the verse you posted. We need to cling to God during these times. I believe we need to grieve, but He is able to bring some comfort. I wouldn't have made it the first year if I didn't seek comfort from His word.
Blessings to you and all the moms.
Teresa, I'll be lighting a candle for Michael too. I love your picture.
Sending love to everyone here.
Adrianne & Teresa, I know how hard these special days are but I wish with all my heart that you were able to have some Birthday Blessings from sweet memories of times and love that you shared together.
Hugs to all.
New International Version (NIV)
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Hugs and Prayers for all my friends here.
