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.
I don't care how someone's child passed away, the pain is no less for any of us. We all know there are insensitive people. I had another incident one time where people jumped to their own conclusions and then shared them as if they were fact. When the facts were all in not one of them apologized for any thing they said. When Michael passed away I knew right away some would do the same with his death. This time I knew to block it out as much as I could. But let's be real, it still hurts when others have things to say.
It's just disgusting.
Some people are just plain ignorant. You can't take their ugly words to heart, because it can set you way back. It doesn't matter how the accident happened. It happened, and other people have no right to judge. My 12 year old son burned to death in a car that my oldest son was driving. Word around town was they wondered how I would punish him. a friend of mines daughter was killed in a car accident, and all I did was ask her father to go to her, and hug her and he told me that all I think about is my burned up kid in the cemetery. so you see people can be cruel. If it had happened to their child You can bet they wouldn't want anyone talking like that about their child. I try to ignore some of it, but there are times when I remember those nasty words, and they hurt. They always seem to come into my mind when i'm already down, and out. My father in law told me if I was a better mother my boys would still be alive, and although I know that's not true normally, when I'm down they repeat in my head, over, and over. There will always be ignorant people, but there are no ignorant humans here!
Dawn - that's horrible. I am so sorry you had to even find that message! I had a couple of comments by strangers in reference to the car accident my son was in that were hurtful and misinformed. So sorry.
DAWN-O .. what a terrible experience-- one of my 'best friends' , soon after I got the news was on the phone and I was rambling on about how Micks was always proud of me and for that I have to show strength blah blah and she said, " are you mad? this is the time to grieve", I said I must be mad then and put the phone down and haven't spoken to her since.. so I know how much another s insensitivity can hurt-- hugsss to you.
Anne, hugssss xoxoxo and to all here who are so much a part of my life .. lots of love.
Anne
Thank you

Anne, HUGS!!!!
ok will change ... just initials? or we add some nickname ?
I think we can just change our names to our first name or initials. I changed mine because I never thought it wasn't secure unless you joined first.
But thanks for the heads up! Hugs to everyone
