I've realized that i do whatever i can so that i'm never alone in my thoughts. When i'm not at work i must have the tv on because if its not i'm overcome with thoughts of Jimmy. I cannot concentrate on reading a book & i can barely complete any work at home, especially when i'm alone. When i'm alone, which is most weekdays after work, i'm flooded with sadness & i still feel as if i'm in a nightmare i'll wake from. I miss him so, so very much. Holidays, birthdays - everyday seems more sad than the last. For me the intense grief is only getting more intense with each passing day. Easter, then mothers day (which is always either on or wirh-in the week of my damned birthdsy), then Jimmys birthday (would've been 24 yrs this year). He was always kind & thoughtful about mothers day/my birthday. I miss him & i want him back but the reality is i wont & i'll forever feel his loss.

Linda- we went to the memorial at the hospital that Ivy died. Everyone was crying. I personally think its a good thing. I think I tend to bury my grief so it was good for me to deal with it head on. Hang in there. Its killed me to lose one child, I can't even begin to imagine losing two.

yesterday i  received a card from the hospital where my son died that ask me to attended a memorial in his honor as well as other who have past in the last year of cancer,was also ask to bring something to remember him by.last time i did this was 20 yrs ago when i lost my little girl it killed me then so i am asking if anyone thinks i should do it know,they play always the circle of life and that's where i loose it.and as it was said here its another empty holiday filled with memories but my plans is to have a picture taken wearing our shirts with the caption always remember but never forgotten.

Almost Easter. Another empty holiday filled with memories that are bittersweet.

Thanks Grace and I am also very sorry for the loss of your husband. Thanks for everyone's support and love.

Today I got a letter from the man who recieved  Niles' Right Kidney.... I think we will contact each other.  He is Married with Children and his name is Stuart.   I have met the Heart recipient and have become friends with her...  I guess I am happy that we did the Organ Donation but I still had the dreams of the actual harvest.... over and over.... and the cremation process...  My imagination...because I really have not seen these ..... except maybe when it is addressed on TV.

I also had dreams that I had somehow misplaced my son and was in a continual search to find him.  Maded me feel like a mother dog looking for a missing puppy.

Karen.... I lost my husband in 1983 and also my son....  both were with irreversible brain injury/death....  It is so hard to walk out of that room.... they still look the same.... hard to believe that some one can pronounce that they are dead.... like turning off a light switch....just like that...  And we still see THEM... as our child...laying there... we should be taking them home...not leaving them there....  It is so hard to accept....  even after 4 years.

BTW ~ In the state of PA, for autopsy reports I think you could ask your family doctor to request it (no fee), or you can request it from the medical examiner/coroner but they charge you per page.

Also, in our state, after 1 year it becomes public record at the court house.

I would first ask family doctor.  Call and find out if you want it.

Just posted my weekly post on my son's page.  I really feel like I have to focus on quitting this, but I don't know why exactly.  Couple of reasons bounce around inside my ditzy head.

Love & hugs all.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
