Connie, your lovely boy is certainly with you. We want it to be as it always has been and it is painful to live another way, an untrod-en path so to speak. Maybe Love will surprise by showing how the grave cannot contain it?Life as we all knew it has changed forever but I'll be damned if I allow it to steal the smile from my face when I think of my son. He certainly would not want that. None of them would have deliberately hurt so when it is beyond one's control all i do is hang on with faith and yes life can be beautiful because we never lose love.
Love is actually forever.
Marilyn,
U nailed it... i also used to think that people say its god, and then i wd feel ok but i feel its my precious one.When that warm , soothing feeling comes, i want to hold on to it and never let it go. Also thank you for ur very thoughtful message hoping that my headache of the other day is better. I was so touched, you have such a grand heart where u r tring to comfort others amidst ur own grief. I may not have messaged back immediately , but u r always in my thoughts as are others here. I know that a wrenching separation is the most pain filled one, as it seems against the norm, yet i often think that this is something to be overcome-- it cannot be something awful and morbid whatever the outer circumstances dictate it to be. Imagine we have known great love, and that is to be cherished.
I keep reading about "healing my grief" and It just seems to get worse. The books all say you have to work hard to reconnect. How much harder can I try? I do what I have to and what I am obligated to do. But all this talk of "after a while" I will feel joy again but it is up to me. Really? Some days I just feel like I am hanging by a thread while others think I'm doing "great". I just feel like a mangled mess and don't know where to start cleaning up. In the meantime I just wanna see my baby again....one of those days. thanks for being here. Love and prayers to everyone.
MAry, I'm so proud of you and the strength you showed in celebrating Gary's birthday! You faced the day head on and spent time with the family Gary loves. One "first" successfully conquered!
Mary, good for you!
That's great Mary! That first one is one of the worst and you survived! That really warms my heart. Have a peaceful night everyone!
We are with you also Mary. Feelings that are shared on this site are feelings that only we know, so in sharing them we help each other see that these feelings are ok, For me some of the worst of this besides the evident, is that I am afraid to share them with those who don't know what I've been through. My words are never to offend or hurt. Only to release some of the weight I carry daily, as I know all of you do too, but those who don't know, cant understand, at least this is what I have learned from my experience. Lets face it we've been through enough without having to explain feelings, some of which even I don't understand myself. Have a peaceful day!
My own belief is that no one needs to refrain from posting out of concern for upsetting the others. This is a safe place...or should be...where our feelings, whatever they are on any given day, are respected and honored. We all go through such a vast array of emotions that can change from one breath to the next. Where else could people understand what we go through?
Thanks Ammy need ur love n prayers
