Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does.
I know that must have really hurt you. I'm sorry.
Our hearts are with you today Teresa.
All day.
What a great honour for your child.
Be proud.
My heart is with you all. Today is the tournament. My stomach is a mess. Today is my Christmas.
merry christmas to everyone here. I have not been on the site this past week because I broke my arm rather severely and had to have surgery cuz I shattered the radius and it was a compound fracture (it came through the skin) I was in hospital for 4 days last week. Excruciating pain. Pain meds and antibiotics are making me nauseous. So hard to deal with the grief and something like this. i also work as a waitress part time and now that job is over because I will be out for so long and I needed to move on anyway and figure out what I can do with the rest of my life.
I just didn't expect it all to happen at once, the accident anniversary, Christmas, no job, broken arm??! no thanks. We had to cancel our trip back east the see my family and it is such a sad sad day. I feel horrible because I didn't do anything "for" Daniel except put out extra candles. And while I was in the hospital they were giving me dilaudid which is the drug they gave him during his 2 bouts of pancreatitis (from Crohn's Disease complications). He could nothing by mouth for 2 weeks each time and had a feeding tube and this horrible strong pain killer. So many memories came flooding back of all the pain he had to endure those last few years, feeling what he felt just breaks my heart - what's left of it. It's all come back and it gives me new insight into his life and how trapped he felt by his constant pain. He had had 4 broken arms in his life, mainly because he wasn't absorbing his nutrients correctly because of the Crohn's Dsease. But he hadn't been diagnosed! We couldn't understand why his bones broke so easily. So he's the one who had all the experience with being in casts, surgery, etc. How strong a and brave he was!! And he was just getting better when the car accident happened. ARRRGHHHH! I hope he is happy and free of all that pain. That is the only thing that gives me some peace.
It's just been too hard to deal with. My arm hurts too bad to put up decorations or anything and my husband has gone into a deep depression so we are bickering and unable to really comfort each other. Altho he is doing his best to nurse me back to health. Some kind soul left a wreath on our porch so at least we had that up. I am grateful to have all of you for support and wish you all peace on this day. I try to keep a beautiful thought that our children are still with us, looking after us and whatever we do to celebrate they celebrate with us. I know that when I am in a state of mind that becomes so dark, I make a real conscious effort, even though it is hard hard, to try to put myself back towards the light because that's where my Daniel is and where he wants us to be also.
I know it's so hard and so painful to be without our children. And I miss seeing my family, I know especially my Mom's heart is hurting and missing Daniel.
But mostly I want my sweet boy back. I want to see his beaming face when he gets that new musical machine that he would spend hours on. I want his energy lighting up our home. And telling me how to handle this arm. merry Christmas my sweet angel boy. I love you
Im so glad this day has ended. I wanted to go to my sons grave , but couldn't because of the rain . Its been raining hard here since yesterday .
I spent the day with my youngest son and his fiance , the first time in 8 years that I have not been alone in Christmas time . My mind kept on going to my son G , and the last Christmas I saw him . There were quite a lot of people around the lunch table , and I found myself cutting myself off from the conversation .
I told my son that I want to donate my Christmas Tree to charity , seeing as I dont see the use of putting it up . Its only me living in my home , and I dont see the use of it anymore ..... but then again , memories haunt me.
To all , be strong . God is with us , each and every one of us . I pray for strength every day , comfort , and guidance .
I need sleep. God Bless all
