Anne, your words speak the truth.  Thanks for the encouragement.  You are a blessing and I hope you are blessed by helping.

Reminds me of a quote by Abraham Lincoln:  "To ease another's heartache is to forget one's own."

Not meaning that we forget completely but while we are comforting/helping another.

Amen Anne!

As Valentine Day approaches, which is also Michael's birthday, I'm going to know no matter how bad it gets I can do it.  I survived last year and I will survive this year.  Painfully .....but I will survive.  Right?

Thank you Anne for your supportive words. They were just the comfort I needed at that moment. We are all survivors and our children are so touched and proud of us

You are all grieving. You are not falling apart, it just feels that way. The holidays have come, and gone. You are all still here. It may not have been pleasant, and I know it was terribly painful, but you are still here. That's what matters. Every milestone you pass through is one more step you had the strength, and courage to take. Might not seem like much too some, but it really is a big deal to me. Through the dark comes the light, and I believe in that light. I believe that the pain of losing a child does not over shadow the love that was shared. I think the pain is so bad because the Love was so great. You should all look in the mirror, and give yourselves a big smile. You deserve it for getting through the toughest season of the year without your children. It wasn't easy, but it never will be. It might not of been much fun, but you survived, and are still breathing. To me that's what matters most at this point. I'm sure our children are proud of every one of us for just surviving this past holiday season. This whole thing is never going to be easy, but it will one day become different and the pain will subside to a tolerable level. Hang in there everyone. Try not to think about next year. Try to just think about today. Peace, and love to all.

Sending everyone love and prayers. This does seem to a particularly had time for us all. I can barely get on the computer, but think of you all and will try to read or do something to help lift my spirit. I seem to be digging myself deeper into that dark place again. This damn broken arm has really thrown me for a loop. Wish I could stop feeling guilty about not doing things in a way that would have saved my boy. I just want him back also. And you're right Vasanthi this is shit - how we have to feel, what we have lost. It is just so hard to face a whole nother year without our children. You seem to get through it as we work up to these landmark dates, then once we have survived that, how are we supposed to survive the day after? My son's memory seems stronger and the loss just like it happened yesterday. I have to keep seeking the light ...just so much pain to slog through

We are all so worn out.

We must pick ourselves up and start again........

Don't look ahead.

Just live one day at a time.

Be as good and kind as you can be to others.

Together.......
