My son, Michael never went unnoticed.  I miss him so bad it makes me sick.  They say I'm strong and then proceed to tell me what they would be doing if it was them.  They say they can only imagine the pain I feel, while I think "no you can't". They remind me I have a daughter who needs me, like I don't know that.  They try to distract me when I speak of him, which only makes me feel as though they are trying to forget him.  When asked how I'm doing, I say I won't lie I'm hurting.  They say he wouldn't want me to hurt. Are you kidding me.  All of us know the list goes on and that each of us feel as though no one understands.  We are, or at least I know I am, enduring the greatest loss anyone can experience.  I miss him more today then yesterday.

 My name is Natalie ... im 24 yrs old and I had my beautiful son on Feb. 13, 2013. It was the live changing moment ive been longing for my whole life. He was my everything... so small, so precious. On march 30,2013 he got his wings to be with all of the other angels in heaven. Its very difficult for me to understand.. but I have to remember and tell myself ive gotta keep moving forward. I have 3 stepsons ( my fiancé is much older than myself). My 15 yr old son was laying down with his brother and ended up falling asleep and rolling ontop of him. It was a tragic accident that I know he didn't mean to do. My strength comes from keeping it together for him. His 15 yrs old and has the weight of the world on his shoulders. hes an outstanding athlete and my only concern now is that this will lead him to a dark place. I have faith that me and my family can make it through this one day at a time as long as we stick together and be there for one another. now it just seems like a dream that I had a son for 6 weeks. like a fog or something. I know he was my angel who changed me into a greater woman I could've ever imagined being. im forever grateful for that... its just im still in shock and cant belive my beautiful baby is gone. Please keep me and my family in your prayers throughout this difficult time. Most importantly Eric Jr. He needs it right now... I couldn't even imagine whats going on in his head.. thanks and god bless

Hi Connie, I copied and pasted it, then I typed it in big bold letters, printed it and then took it to staples to make it just about poster size and had them laminate it. It's going to be on my wall in my house for everyone to see. My daughter was upset when she saw it and didn't think I should hang it up....that's exactly why I'm displaying it!

I love this too Ammy. People CAN'T understand this profoundest of grief unless they have experienced it. It is maddening when everyone thinks you should be adjusting. It just gets harder and harder for me. It's been 4 months and I just can't imagine this pain for the rest of my life but don't see how I can ever feel any other way.  And the crazy thing is I feel guilty sharing this lovely writing with those people because I don't want to make THEM feel bad, even though many may appreciate it. I don't know - it's all crazy.... Love and prayers to you all.

That was beautiful Ammy. This is so very difficult and yet you took a moment for the rest of us.

These words are so true, and some days I would like to scream them at some people.  The rest of the world will never understand what we are living unless it happens to them, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy (if I had one).  Some times I think I would like for them to have to live it for a week so they would wake up and realize that this loss never leaves us, but I know it won't happen so I try not to judge them or think about them as it only makes me more miserable.

I feel all your pain.  I understand the marriage problems as I have read that the loss of a child will either bring you closer or farther apart.  I am in limbo (so to speak) when it comes to my marriage.  I'm here and I'm not going anywhere for now.  It's just another part of my existence.  My husband is a great and loving man so I try hard to be here for him, but I really feel numb.  I know I have some anger towards him for some of the things he said about our son when he was alive, but I know he is suffering the loss now and maybe feels guilty.  I don't bring it up because the conversation may get out of control and I will say hateful things.  And we all know that once said, it can never be taken back.  We are already destroyed enough.

I'm not sure, but maybe mothers versus fathers grieve differently.  Your husband's actions may be a result of their grieving.  Just a thought I had.

I send blessings to each of you that it gets easier.  I think that is all we can hope for.

Hugs ~ ·٠•●♥ †
