Yes Dawn, that feels awful when people skirt around the issue. It is cos they don't know what and how to talk about it. Its ok.

What a beautiful picture and poem. It is so hard to talk to people who have no idea how you feel, but it's even worse when they never mention my daughter, as if she never existed.

Shelley, that was amazing. Did you write that yourself? It really does speak for how we feel, whether it be a son or a daughter that we lost. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

Shelley, this says it all.

Don't Tell Me
Please don't tell me you know how I feel,
Unless you have lost your child too,
Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal,
Because that is just not true,
Please don't tell me my son is in a better place,
Though it is true, I want him here with me,
Don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face,
Beyond today I cannot see,
Don't tell me it is time to move on,
Because I cannot,
Don't tell me to face the fact he is gone,
Because denial is something I can't stop,
Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had,
Because I wanted more,
Don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad,
I'll never be as I was before,
What you can tell me is you will be here for me,
That you will listen when I talk of my child,
You can share with me my precious memories,
You can even cry with me for a while,
And please don't hesitate to say his name,
Because it is something I long to hear everyday,
Friend please realize that I can never be the same,
But if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become someday

Teresa -  I have a trusted gifted meditation teacher who is a psychic medium. It has been an important help and counsel to me through my grief of losing my only child this year. He was 17. Just make sure who you see is very reputable and gives you validation that their readings are true. A True medium will channel messages that only you and you're departed loved one could know. It helps me when I really need an answer that I can only get from Daniel. Peace.

Dawn, I am so sorry for your loss of your precious daughter. My son also died very suddenly and unexpectedly of a massive heart attack while on a cruise with his wife. It seems so many...TOO many...young people are dying from heart attacks. It seems so senseless and confusing.

How sad for all her children, but especially the 8 year old whose birthday will forever be linked with mom's death. (My mother died 3 days before my 13th and was buried on my birthday.) Prayers for all of you!

Does anyone have a comment or opinion about "medians"?

Dawn find comfort in the children Lisa left for you to love.  That one child you struggled to have gave you 4 beautiful grandchildren to love. 

Dawn and Mary you give me hope.  My Michael didn't have kids when he passed and my daughter has medical challenges and was told most likely she will never have a child.

Dawn,

What a beautiful name you have and I'm sure it will be symbolic in your life too. We are all going through very trying times and my heart goes out to all of us here. None planned to be here but without a doubt all are there for you, whenever you need and more. You will be in my prayers. God bless you.
