Dolly I really do think it would be wonderful to have a respite home as you describe.   This Saturday night will be our Niles Benefit Fund Concert.  A group of Musician friends have joined us to do 2 concerts where we raise funds to give random act of kindness donations to families with special needs in our local area..... In memory of Niles.

This also helps to Remember him with friends..... The holidays are always difficult, I try to overwhelm myself by inviting a full house of guests.

As for that silence of others when we talk to them about our kids... well I guess they just really do not know what to say to comfort us... and who could blame them because we all have a different need of what we Need to Hear.  It is so painful for us and I do not think there is any "Right" thing that can comfort us... and we have such sensitive emotions.  

I wish us all PEACE to get through the Holidays....but then again we could focus our grief as "Holiday" Pain...but really there is never realy any one day better than any others when you live through this....

Dolly I also hope that your family feels better quickly so they may join you. These past thanksgiving holidays and others, seem to just add to my despair because no one in my family ever acknowledges my son's absence. I don't know if they just think they're protecting my feelings or if they have just plain forgotten him. So, I casually mention him or remind everyone what my son's favorite food is or I'll say straight up that I wish he was here. Most stay silent or some make an effort of being supportive. It's just an ongoing fear of mine that they are all forgetting about him. Maybe I read into too deep because I'm extra sensitive but it still hurts me. They may all have mere memories but for goodness sake, he's my son and will always be MY son! He was here and his life mattered. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for everyone's perspective as far as mediums. Connie I do believe that there are some who are blessed with this gift from our creator. I knew such a woman, who was very spiritual and totally a devout person of her faith but unfortunately she passed away shortly after my son did. I'm just hoping that my son will find a way to comfort me.

Wow Teresa, how beautiful is that! That is wonderful. It helps so much to know that our children are NOT forgotten. They were here, NOT a figment of our imagination.

Wow, Teresa, thanks for sharing as well, that's pretty deep, I don't want to cause my son any distress or unrest. I long for him so much.

Thanks for sharing Dolly, I'm not totally sure yet what I will do. I just feel so desperate.

Yesterday was a little overwhelming.  The day before I couldn't pull myself out of the misery, spent the day crying and being caught in the depression.  Yesterday everyone must have been feeling me because I received calls from my a few of my sisters telling me how much they miss Michael.  I received a few messages from a few of my nieces telling me the same thing.  I also received a long text from a friend telling me she couldn't stop thinking of him. Then I go onto facebook and there's a few of my cousins saying thinking of you and Michael today.  I was overwhelmed!  I loved it!  I also received "Speak Their Name" from one of my sister with a note saying I remember you saying this at Michael's service.  I don't remember much from that day, but I love that she did.  Just God sending a message to remind me how much everyone loved Michael.
