Thinking of everyone today and sending rays of California sunshine to you all! Such a beautiful time of year and  all I can think of is how much Daniel loved it. I had a surprise visit from his best friend and another friend who was in the car with him the night he was killed.  It had been so long since they had come by and it was so good to see them. The house is so quiet without Daniel and his mansize buddies coming in and out. I felt like some were my own kids too. Now they are all gone. So I was feeling especially lonely and sad that I hadn't seen them last week and low and behold they show up. Thank you God for letting them have the strength. Because I know it is hard for them to come over even though they care and want to see us - it's hard to see his room and expect him to walk in. They spent so much time over here. They had life plans with my son. They were going to a nearby college and getting an apartment together. These boys are also shattered in their own way. I am thankful they came. And I know Daniel was here too. God I miss him so much. How can it ever stop hurting so bad?

Thank you Teresa,  I do go hour by hour now and knowing I am not alone helps.

Lynn I fully understand.  Every morning I would wake up hoping it was all just a bad nightmare.  And when I realized it wasn't I would just cry all over again. 

Lynn we are here for you.  We are all at different stages but none of us forget those first few days, weeks, or months. 

One thing I can tell you...for me this site is a lifeline.  I can't start my day without checking in.  Everyone here has helped me along in one way or another. 

It saddens us that you have joined the group but at the same time we are glad you found us.

I think about moms whose children are on death row. That must be horrendous, and I don't think they love their children any less. When a child is born it is perfect to their mother. The whole time they're growing up, to mom they are perfect. I believe God did that on purpose, so he could be sure that children are loved no matter what. they will always be our babies. The love between a parent, and a child is a love that endures even death. Peace to your hearts, courage for your souls, and wisdom for your spirit.

I am amazed at how we all think of the time they are gone like how we described their early years of life.  They are always are babies no matter when they are taken from us.

Lynn I just read your post my son been gone 5 months and, I two go thru waking up then realizing that oh my God he gone he's really gone.

We are all in some type of pain no one judge's what you say because in one way are another we going thru the pain as you are.  I'll pray for you  yours is so knew I remember when it was that knew for me.  I was numb at times would fly off the handle over little things,  And the ties flowed like a major river.  I'm here for you if you need to chat 

I'm truly sorry for your loss.

My daughter died seven weeks ago and the mornings are the worst.  Waking up and it floods back that she is gone forever.  I wake up in a cold sweet every morning.  Its as if I have stored all these tears all night and they need to be released.  I have been drinking ensure during the day because I can only get food down at dinner.  I worry constantly about my other child who is only 23 and lives 2,000 miles away.  I guess this is my new normal.
