Hugs, thanks, and prayers for you. Yes, this website is a Godsend. I wouldn't know what to do without you all.

I just want to say hello to everyone here and acknowledge the struggle each of us is going through on a daily basis. This website is a Godsend. Praying that your pain lessens a bit today.

I go through this day. It was the hardest one yet but I made it, I don't know how, but I did. I wish you all a peaceful night.

Whew! I feel a little better today. Susan, Karen, and Milt, I pray that the day will come when you will be given the gift of finding the ones who killed your children and justice will be done. We are always told to get over it and move on, but everytime I turn around something steps in front of me and I go back to step one.  People who have not walked in our shoes have no idea of the fact that no matter how well we move on, or how well we survive the loss of our children, dealing and working, and living with this loss is ours forever. The only way I see a time when it won't be such hard and sad work to move on is when i'm dead.  Some people just don't understand that as in birth, death is a lifetime commitment  whether we like it or not. There's just no getting away from it. I learn everyday different ways to deal with it, but it's never going to go away. I wish I could help the people around me to understand or atleast accept that this is my life and I cant change whats happened any more than the next guy can't change his shoe size.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. No one but another mother can feel this kind of loss. I didn't understand before when people would say that there is nothing like the pain of losing a child. Now we know and it hurts so bad. I just can't stop crying. Mother's Day was hard but my son helped make it as good as it could be. Thank God for him. I live alone now and I miss her so much!

Mary ~ My heart goes out to you. I understand where you are coming from. I would have listed my son as a contact person as well. In fact I was looking over my will after I read your post and realized he was still listed. It just drove home that there will be no survivors for him. He was killed with no children. Not only do I now have to change my will but it got me to thinking of how many other things have to be changed as well. While I have finally come to accept his death (though there are many days I still want him to be here), I am still angry over the circumstances of his being killed.

It is bittersweet knowing that your son's children will be close. Enjoy every moment with them. Life is too short to take for granted. Every day I wish there was just one more minute I could have said I love you, or how proud I was of him.

To all of us left here, this needs to be a reminder to tell each person we love every day that we love them, are proud of them and if they live at home give them a hug every day. We never know when it will be the last day.

Praying for all and sending hugs to all.

To all my friends here... my heart goes out to you and I feel like at least there are some who can understand the agony of this kind of loss, though I would not wish it on anyone. I feel God has given us this to understand that life is not about birth and death-- that is a characteristic of every---body.. We certainly are more than a machine-- the body-- so I feel that those who went like this suddenly are surely in the safe and loving hands of God and they are with us , not just as a concept but in reality.. love to all of you.
