Cindy, I'm so sorry for your loss. No, this is not a group anyone would ever want to be in.  We lost our only child, Caitlin, almost 6 years ago but it truly feels like yesterday to me.  Like you, I look forward to the day we are reunited in heaven.  I miss Caitlin so much it physically hurts.  I hope heaven isn't too far off.

Hello everyone! This is my first time to have connected with this group. I am very happy to have found you! It is a group NONE of us ever wanted to join, but here we are together by the crude and harsh realities of life and death.

I am grieving hard this morning for my precious daughter, 34 years of age, that left us on June 9, 2016. Shortly after her death Father's Day hit and now it's the 4th of July. I miss her beyond any words I could express! She was our only child. I lit a candle in her memory. I have cried hard tears, and now I must get off the couch to put some street clothes on. The day moves on even if my daughter is not here to imbrace it with us. She waits in heaven for us to join her some sweet day!

God bless each of you, and may He give comfort to us all in our suffering.

Thank you, Connie.  I feel sadder during all holidays as well.  It doesn't matter which it is.  I associate all holidays with family time.  We are planning our first trip since Caitlin's accident.  We are hoping that being anywhere else will feel better than being here.  I am blessed that my husband and I have not drifted apart and still want to be together.  I live in terror of something happening to him.  I always wonder about what could have been.  Caitlin was just going to start her 3rd year in college.  She wanted to then go to graduate school.  She wanted marriage and children so much.  She worked at daycares for years.  She would have been a wonderful mom.  I not only desperately miss her but all that could have been.

EVA I find myself lost in remembering .... thinking about how I feel like I'm someplace other than here on earth at those times... somehow a place where I can ALMOST see my son... almost ... that makes me think of what JEANETTE said too.. about one's mind breaking along with your heart... I think all of me is broken now.... but just this week God spared us from destruction one more time... and the tornado that was headed for our town... we have a house smack dab in the middle of it... touched down NORTH of here and did horrible damage there... it could have taken MY house and my other son.... but it didn't... so although my heart is always going to ache for my son who now lives with God, I am feeling blessed to have been spared another loss of such unbelievable magnitude.... at least for now.... my heart as always goes out to all the mothers in here who know exactly what I am talking about.... love you all....

Hi all, haven't been online much. We actually took a beautiful trip to Puerta Vallarta for our 30th wedding anniversary with some dear friends from DC. It was good to be somewhere new.

Eva that is a beautiful poem. Tank you for sharing. I will be thinking of you and your daughter tomorrow. My son has been gone 3 and a half years. His 21st birthday was last March 31. I think of all the things we could have done when he became a legal adult. I yearn to have him be able to go off to the college he wanted to, as I see one of his best friends go there. He was going to do 2 years of community college then go to UC Santa Cruz. Why can't he have his life? Why can't I trade places and let him get to live? It never stops hurting.To say we miss them is such an understatement.

Lynn - I've been thinking of you a lot and hope you have a good trip this week. I will light a candle for Kyra next week.

Jeannette - my heart breaks for your losses. I am so sorry.

Patty - I now know that I will still be crying every day after 6 years. Forever I think. My heart goes out to you.

Hugs Teresa and to everyone. Good luck with the holiday weekend.All holidays make me sadder.
