The Cord
Author Unknown
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
by any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!
Adrianne, I am truly sorry you have another tragedy to deal with. As the others have said, this is not your fault. My heart aches for you.
Have caught up again with the comments but there are too many for me to remember each one. My heart hears each of you. I am where you are or have been there. It's just not a constant with me anymore.
Merry, I am happy for you that you are improving. I mentioned quite awhile back that I took 5-HTP. I don't think I would have managed without it. I didn't want prescription medication for depression and found the 5-HTP. I think you said your chiropractor told you to take it with B6. My chiropractor didn't tell me to take the 5-HTP but told me I need to also take B12 to make the B6 work properly. Ask yours about that.
Dolly, 5-HTP is a natural mood enhancer. It also helps some to sleep better and can control the appetite. I found an organic one on Amazon but use to take the Natrol brand. You can probably find it in larger Drugstores that sell supplements.
God's blessings on all of you. Hugs.
Oh Adrianne
I am so sorry.
For all of you....
Adrianne, Karen....feel so bad.. yes it feels completely unreal.. and then more is added on for Adrianne.. hugss
Adrianne, sweetheart I don't know what to say, but please don't blame yourself. HUGS & MORE HUGS!
Aww, Adrianne, I'm so sorry, I just read your posting! I know there are really no comforting words but please don't blame yourself, don't do that to yourself, think of how much your family loves you and needs you, we need you here as well, you are part of chain of support.
Sending you love and lots of hugs.
typo...HAVEN"T BEEN
Hello to all. I haven't en able to attend another funeral since my son's own. I just cant do it. The closest I did was one of my uncle's, I just sat in the lobby during the entire thing and that alone was extremely hard. I don't think I will ever be able to attend another funeral. Even though I was "drugged up" (prescription Xanax and Valium which my Dr. ordered a few days after my son's passing) at my son's services, I remember a lot of the devastating details, especially the one of my son laying there as I stroked him with disbelief, he looked liked he was just sleeping and could easily be awakened, the speeches that were given and the music that was played, for some reason, those 3 things stick with me the most but it's strange that I don't remember a lot the people that were there. I don't know if it was the medication or me just being in such despair and shock. I remember days had gone by & I would ask or complain to one of my family members why a certain person didn't attend, and they would tell me that the person was there and had talked to me at great length. I was truly traumatized by my son's funeral, I didn't even want to go but everyone convinced me that if I didn't, I would regret it. I think I didn't want to go because I didn't want it confirmed.
Adrienne I too am so sorry this has happened! Connie is right, it is not your fault! If the pit was going to snap, it was going to happen one day regardless of who or what was going on. It is just so sad that you have another loss to deal with, and in such a horrific, tragic way. Hugs to you and your husband.
