Merry,
It is what our children would want. that we go on and get successful at being happy. I feel the same as Karen and all here.. other place, other side, light,etc etc is more like some tautology..I ask with anger, 'what other place and why snatch him and make him vanish? why, why , why.. obviously doing the same things I do and ask the same questions and feel the wound inside, aching all the time 24x7, is not getting me any answers.. so now I look at it a little differently.. I decided to stop the focus on myself... i send prayers for Shreyas and all our babies here and all the ones who are reeling with this devastation and it is no exaggeration at all to say we have all received mortal blows... and yet we fight and yet we laugh and yet we live... so I trust that the good Lord will one day make all this meaningful.. and yes Brenda had once asked me,' do you believe that God can make everything ok, and yes I do, cos if I didn't, y not just swallow some pills or throw oneself from the nearest height and reach 'the other place'?
Hello to all, I've just read through many of your postings and as usual, my heart hurts with you all, as I can relate to many of them. This Oct 16th will be 4 yrs since my son went to the "other" place as someone else put it, and my pain has not lessened one bit. I am just learning to live with it, I've learned to hide my pain etreemely well from those I feel like don't want to be burdened with it. It's still extremely difficult for me to even say the dreaded "d" word....died. It's still hard for me to fathom the thought that my son is in a "better" place, as many like to tell me, I just can't grasp that notion, because the "better" place for me is right here with me and all of his family and friends, enjoying his young life and still driving me crazy.....sometimes :) I would be a liar if I said that one day I feel like I will be "ok" with this, It may be possible but I don't see that for myself in the near future. I always ask myself, how it possibly ever be ok? How could I ever find comfort in having to bury my child? Thanks to all for any support.
I'm with you ladies, I believe it was Michael letting me know he was there. He saw me struggling and came to my side, just like he would if he was here.
Merry, all I can say is, EXACTLY!
Vasanthi, sometimes for me I'm here reading but stay quite.

Where IS everyone?:(
Thanks Lynn, I agree and am sure that Teresa did feel Micheal's presence.. am missing Micks quite desperately..:( everyone is caught up intheir own world.. and i feel very very alone:( .. where are you micky?:(
I went to a lecture this morning, the lecture was good, the speaker was funny but he kept talking about people in his life that passed away. I had to stare at the ceiling to keep the tears from coming. when it was over I thought OK I handled that without a public display, I must be learning this manage thing.
However, once I reached home the tears started to pour and I can't seem to stop them. I went and laid on the bed and cried by myself as I stared at Michael's picture. Then for a split second I swore I smelled him. I smelled everything around me to see if there was something that resembled, but no. Am I crazy or did I smell Michael? Is he telling me he's here? Lately I feel like I'm sliding backwards.
Dolly, hugsss and hugsss and hugsss and love
thank you Vasanthi, perfect comment for how I feel today
