Thank you all for your warmth. I am home. It was rough and I could not hold it in. It was not a pretty picture! But I did it and it felt good to cry. My daughter was worth every tear. It felt like it was just her and I there. It was a wonderful tribute to her. My heart feels warm again. I have not felt that in a long while. You are all so kind. Thank you.

Jane, good luck to you today. There will probably be more times when you will have to be strong, but just remember she is with you and so are we. Our children are always with us. That's one thing that can't be taken away, for love never dies. Peace and love to you and all friends.

I'm in trouble also Ammy. Today I can't stop crying. Missing him is hard enough but the days I remember the details takes me out. I just didn't save him. I should have.

Just writing a quick note to say that I have just had to read 6 pages of comments.  I have never been that far behind before, but the 'DRAGON' has reared its ugly head again and I am in the fire.

My heart and sympathy goes out to our new members and also to those that have been here for awhile.  I think of you all every day, but right now I am not doing well.  My daughter thinks I should see a professional and then asked if it's because his birthday is coming up.  How the heck am I suppose to know why.  This life is never stable anymore.  

Jane, I hope your day went okay.  I can only imagine how hard a public event would be.

Sending my love and hugs to all.

Jane - Sometimes others don't know how to be or what to say or if they should show their own grief for fear of upsetting you more. And even though we are in so much pain, we always worry about making others feel uncomfortable (ironic isn't it) and it just makes doing things so much harder. But I think that showing your grief is a gift to them because they can then share their own feelings and comfort and help you. We are all with you in thought  but most importantly your daughter's spirit will get you through. Good luck. It is wonderful that she is being honored.

Jane, you don't have to be strong. Just allow yourself to be real

I am attending a very emotional event today in memory of my daughter. I need to be very strong but my heart is so broken I don't know how I am going to get through it. It is a very public event. I do better when I am alone. I don't feel strong enough to attend but I know I must.

Mary, it's funny how a specific day of the week or a date each month takes on a whole new meaning when we experience a significant loss. I wonder if I'll ever experience a Thursday again without associating it with Chris' death. Plus I find, for some reason, I kinda' resent the passage of time even though each day brings me one more day closer to being reunited with my son. I can't quite explain why, unless I somehow think people expect my grief to lessen with the passage of time.

Connie, I agree that it's only the knowledge that my son, like yours, is hopefully reveling in being in the presence of God that I can even remotely tolerate the reality of what happened.
