I have attended one meeting of Compassionate Friends and it is a wonderful group. Perhaps it was too early for us to go because it was painful but it is always a great resource for others you can call for whatever questions may come up. I plan on going back. They say for any support group to gibe it 3 times before deciding if it id for you. because each meeting can be very different.

Dick- we attended Compassionate Friends before we moved. It was very helpful. Justin started attending therapy at first, but the therapist just did not understand. As painful as it is, I think it is good to get it out and face my life.

This last week has been hard for me. I attended a Compassionate Friends and a hospital support group. I wonder if it makes me feel worse and dredge up memories. I always sob when talking about Danny, I miss him so much.

Last night at my sister in laws house we were eating as an extended family and she has photos of my son displayed with his cousins. I just started looking and feeling my loss. I had to excuse myself and leave.

I am sponsoring Angels Across America music tour in Danny's memory. If it comes to your town be sure to go. Mitch Carmody and Alan Pedersen are good musicians for the grieved. They have some YouTube videos that are good.

Yes it's true. Every day is different. I can't watch them often but the ones I have,he is being so funny that I can't help but smile for a moment. So I feel like I had a little visit.

Yeah, I have days that I can watch videos of my son, even though I sob while watching and their are other days I can't even think about watching them.

Its been about 15 months for me and it is still hard for me to watch videos of Ivy. Although I am sooo grateful that I have  them. About a month after she died, I watched a video of her and it just about killed me.

 I am so sorry you lost those videos. I know what you mean. I lost my only son on Dec. 1 2012 and can hardly deal with it. I get so much joy from the 2 videos that I have found on his computer and have found others through his friends. They are treasures and so sorry for more pain in your life from a thoughtless theft. It sure wasn't supposed to be this way at all. Not at all.

Marti, so sorry, my worst nightmare came true also. I begged my son not to ever ride his friend's motorcycle again.

My husband and I were watching the video we played during Zach's funeral. I felt like I had never seen it. I can't believe it has been 16 months since we lost him. Those first few months are such a fog, like a very bad nightmare that i haven't been able to wake up from. We found out that yesterday Zach's girlfriend had her laptop stolen, and on it she had several videos of Zach that she had not backed up on to another file so now those are forever lost. It makes me so incredibly sad, a couple of them, I had never even seen yet. It makes me so angry that who ever stole it doesn't have any idea how much they have hurt us. I do have to say that even though my husband and I were sad watching the video, we were able to smile sharing those memories from those pictures. It really did make me miss him so very much though. This stinks for all of us. It wasn't suppose to be this way.
