I don't have anything to say today, I'm just here.

I agree. Been silent also. I think a few of us have. For the same reasons.

Checking in also.  Tough week isn't it?  

It does surprise me how so many memories come flooding back around holidays.  

I really don't want to have the family get together, but feel I have to.  Sometimes I wish I could just be selfish and say no.  I wonder if anyone thinks about how I feel and how hard it is for me preparing for these family functions.  It's always the before that's the hardest part for me.  Once they get here I usually get distracted for most of the time.

Anyone else have these problems?  Found any solutions?  Anne?

As bad as I've been feeling lately my heart still aches for all of you as I read your comments filled with pain, and I'm also happy for you that are having some good things going on in their lives.  

Teresa, I loved your positive post on what you are thankful for.  Thanks for sharing it.

Sending blessings of peace & love.  I pray we all will find something to be thankful for and that it will help lighten our mood.

Lynn, some will do that to you.  They don't know how to deal with you or they don't want to be you. I'm sorry she hurt you but she's not worth being in your life.

Lynn I'm so sorry your friend treated you that way. My thoughts and prayers are with you. But these are the times when we find out who our real friends are. Whatever is going on with her has nothing to do with you. She is just not in a place to help you and it sounds like you have real true friends who are there for you which is such a blessing. I'm running off to work but will message you later.

That is beautiful Teresa, Vasanthi thank you for your lovely words. I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip.  Sunday will the 1 year anniversary of Daniel's passing and it's a tough one. But we will celebrate his life and his friends said they were all coming over (whether we wanted them to or not they said- lol) I miss them all lighting up the house with their laughter and antics. I can't believe it's been a year. Time seems to have stood still for me.

I hope everyone here has a good and peaceful Thanksgiving holiday, as best you can.

My time stands still and yet moves so fast when you are grieving.  It is over three months since I last saw my daughter on the day she died.  I am thankful for my kind friends in Vermont who support me and keep me close in their lives and I am thankful for everyone on this site who gives me hope that I will make it through another day of heartbreak and feel some thing other than pain again in my life. Last Thursday a women I had worked with for 11 years and also retired with me last June tossed me to the curb, telling me we were just work friends.  I was crying on the phone with her before I could hang up .  She said we traveled in different circles and our lives were in different places. (meaning my daughter died and her's didn't).  It is hard to discover how cruel and self centered some people can be.  Everyone around me could never understand why I ever hung out with her at school and now I understand why they felt this way about her.  I can't remember a time in my life when I felt this vulnerable and I thank you all for being here for me.

Before I start to focus on what I'm not thankful for I want to remember the things I am thankful for.

I am thankful I had 29 years with Michael.

I am thankful we took that last vacation together.

I am thankful he spent his last holidays with me.

I am thankful we had that last conversation.

I am thankful some of the last words I heard were, "don't you ever get it wrong, your number one and you have always been number one to me." 

I am thankful I have such great family & friends that have surrounded me with love and support.

I am thankful I have the daughter I have and that she loves me so much.

I am thankful for the few signs God has allowed me.

I am thankful that I am left with so many great memories.

I am thankful I found this site and for the support I have received from everyone.

Grace, for the hockey tournament I was advised to set up a facebook page.  Set up a page in her name and make it about the concert.  I'm not that technically inclined either so I am getting help.  But it will help draw attention to the event.

Hitting me

My daughter did MAID last Tuesday and I've been holding up okay.But just now the Christmas convoy (trucks all lit up that do an organized drive through our small town) went by and suddenly I just started crying, thinking how my girl won't be around to have these small moments. And not that she would have - she wasn't a huge Christmas or celebration person. So I don't know why I'm sitting here crying about it.Oh this is going to hurt a lot :-(See More
