Thank you Anne.
How are you doing?
You have a good heart.
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.
We are falling apart.
Together.......
xxoo
Yesterday my daughter came back up to our village. She has so many friends there. She owns a hair salon in my boutique and after many months of panic attacks and anxiety she left to go to Orange County where her children live. I know seeing me in pain every day was hard on her and she did almost everything there was to do when her brother passed. My husband and I went to dinner and after we went next door to hear some music with my daughter and friends. I did smile. I laughed. But my heart was hurting and this morning. I woke with guilt for going. I know my beautiful son wants me to try. He loved me so much. I hate these mixed feelings and I just want him back.
