It seems we are all feeling "down", myself included. I miss my child so very much. I miss my best friend, my shopping partner, my fashion advisor, my constant companion. Danielle was my everything. I lost all my feelings when she left 8 months ago. They have never returned. I feel nothing, just pain.

Time goes on, but we do not.

Vasanthi I know how you feel the last time I saw my Michael he called and asked me to bring him medicine.  I wish I knew it would be the last time I would see him.

No words of wisdom here, either. Looking forward to monthly meeting of  The Compassionate Friends tonight. Hope it is beneficial to all who attend.

Hi to all, I have no words today either.  Haven't been this low in quite awhile, but I'm hanging on to that cord of hope for a better tomorrow.  I know it will come.

I found something that I wrote about life before my son left us.  I've changed the wording to now fit our journey along this new path we are walking.  Hoping it may be of some help for understanding that you each need to do what feels right for you.  Especially to those of you that are new on this journey.  Love and blessings to all.

~Each one of us must make their own path through this journey of grief.  There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers.  The right path for one may be the wrong path for another.  Our paths are not paved in smooth blacktop, nor brightly lit, and it has no direction signs.  It's just a rocky path through the wilderness.

Unfortunately we all need this site! I have been avoiding even viewing posts lately just so I can try to kid myself into thinking that I'm not thinking about my son. I am always thinking and living this new, very sad and unfortunate hell we all are living. I miss him more and more everyday and I do not believe it will get any easier.

Blessings to all of you

September is one year.  I'm already having anxiety.  I don't want it to come.  I want this month to go as slow as it can.  What do I do?

Comment by Teresa D. on August 5, 2013 at 9:01am

I was missing for a few days.  shelly I don't know what your apologizing for but I do know sometimes I'm angry at the world too.  It's ok!  I'm sure no one here is mad, we all know what it is your experiencing.  Never feel alone because we all feel you. 

 

I missed everyone is the past few days.  I had my annual BBQ and felt real guilty about it,  but it felt so good to be surrounded by family and friends.  We had the threat of a thunderstorm all day but it didn't happen.  At the end of the night there was a double rainbow.  Everyone quickly pointed it out and said it was my Michael letting me know he was there beside me.

yes... I read here a lot too..... some days though I just can't...

I come here every night. It's now a bed time ritual. It helps me to fall asleep. Knowing I'm not alone and have others that understand my feelings. I read all your posts. I look at your pictures. And I care about you all very much. I'm sorry we have this in common.
