Dawn enjoy meeting Stephen's daughter.  I would give anything for some girl to knock on the door and introduce me to a child that belongs to Michael.  Dawn one day you will sit and tell them all about their dad.  You can tell them who he was and what he was like. 

Dolly I sometimes wonder too.....are our kids in heaven, saying Hey that one is my mom.

I won't lie I melted down yesterday, but today I'm going to work real hard on getting focused. 

Anne, I find myself asking the same question, What do I do now?

Anne,

As usual in the morning as soon as I wake up, i come here and see what everyone is saying and how they are feeling. I then went to do the dusting and was in my bedroom, where i have a framed pic of my son smiling at me. Next to that is a small calendar which has daily sayings but no 'year' on it and I had got that when I went to get my son's things back from Dubai where he was working when the accident happened and he passed on.Everyday I take it as a message to me when i flip the page and see whats it for the day.. Today it said, " A mother is a picture of God's Love"... I hope this answers our questions..It was so appropriate to my thoughts at the moment and this happens almost everyday that the train of thought and questions which spring forth find answers.. love to all here.

Hey Anne, I have asked myself many of your same questions, I'm sure many of us on this site have, I wish there was an answer, we are all on this journey together but we may take short cuts or different roads, there is no concrete route for us to stick to, no one can judge the way someone grieves. I still have more, than not, moments of guilt when I realize that I'm having "fun" or if I laugh at a funny joke, I still can't dance, something I once enjoyed, without feeling guilty, I imagine that my son is saying "hey, mom, what about me, what are you doing?". And other times, to move forward, I convince myself that my son can't handle seeing me in all this pain and grief, so I pretend that he's "fine" and that this was all my imagination, just crazy examples of this roller coaster ride I've been on. None of us signed up for this crap, we just have to take on the day, day by day, somehow we get through the day.

Hello everyone, Dawn, I hope all went well with you meeting his daughter, what a blessing, one that I wish I had, sending hugs to you and all.

None of this will ever be ok. It will always be painful, heart wrenching, and unbelievable. I wont forget, I will never be the same, and I will always yearn for my children. On Oct. 17th my little boy will be gone for 15 years. I cant change it, I cant bring him back, and I will always miss him, and wonder what kind of person he would've gown into. That's the reality of it. So what do I do? Stop living, stop taking care of the children that are still with me? People don't want to talk about it, and they don't care how far I have come. So what do I do? No one wants to hear about the good stuff or the bad stuff. So someone please tell me what I am supposed to do? Would my sons want me to live the rest of my life in grief, and sadness? Absolutely not. If I'm not grieving than I must not have loved them enough? Where do I go from here? Why is it so wrong to have hope? Is it realistic to think that I can survive under this cloak of tragedy? Am I a bad mother because I choose to find positive ways to survive? Please tell me, because i'm not getting it.

Today is Labor Day . I think of the birth of our children, where ever they are. It feels like Kyra has been gone far longer than e
8 weeks, My heart breaks my body sweats each morning When I first wake up. My husband has been away since Friday and will be back on Wednesday. My kind best friend who lost her daughter ten years ago invited me to stay at her house. She has been my life-saver.
I want to see a medium but I think my pain is still too raw to be helped. I want to believe she is happy and safe but I sometimes question is she. Thank you all for listening, and giving me hope.
Everyday is so hard

Teresa, its so nice to hear your description of Micheal.. I Love him and how blessed that such angels share our life with us.. I am sure he is always going to be there for you..love's promises are never empty so I know that you will feel his love always and he will always have your love as his cloak around him... hugssss
