I am so depressed.  Maybe it's knowing that the holiday season is here.  I don't want to think about holidays or celebrating.  I've already told my family I don't think I will be shopping.  I just can't get myself to do it.  I know I need to get something for my son's little girl (4), but I'm hoping to order something online like I did last year. 

The loss of a child completely changes you, you can't just move on as everyone thinks you can.  Expectations from others "to move on" weighs heavily on me, but I am thankful to those that do understand for telling me, "don't ever apologize for grieving, don't ever apologize for your tears, your grief is your own."

My prayers go out each day for those who have lost loved ones, it truly is a tough journey!

Michele, Yes, I do. Check into EMDR. If you Google that, you will learn about it. I am doing sessions now. It really helps. What you may be experiencing is PTSD and EMDR helps alleviate that. My grief therapist suggested it to me. Check with your doctor.

God Bless

Does anybody else have anxiety about what happened? A couple of times, my daughter Laura has complained about pain in her abdomen, and it turns out that her pants were just too tight. But it really freaks me out because that was the first symptom for Ivy when she got sick- pain in her abdomen.

Hello to all,  I have learned to take better care of myself during this time.  I have to pace myself when i am around others that don't understand how hard this time is.  When others ask me why i don't decorate or why i don't enjoy the holidays.  I just answer them with this response.  My whole life changed when my son was killed, so now i spend every day learning to cope with that pain.  The holidays have loss the importance the once had.  This seems to work with most, but we all know how many others have opinions.  Please take care of yourselves during this time.

Hello to all, just checking in to say hello, haven't been on, just not feeling up to it, I feel like my sadness is escalating and the holiday season isn't helping. I just want my son and my life back, will NEVER accept this for my reality. My heart is with you all.

I really like the idea of doing something in Jimmy's memory - something important & meaningful to him. He was funny & bright, always the life of the party. He had a great, infectious laugh. He loved his little sister, was very protective of her. He loved his music & was a generous & giving friend. When he was young he would help me in the garden, he's always loved the beach. I'de like to plant a tree in his memory, somewhere meaningful to him. He loved to travel, always meeting new people where-ever he was. Because he was only given 22yrs in this world he wasn't able to travel as much as he would've liked so his brother, sister & I made a promise to bring a small amount of his cremains with us to leave whenever/wherever we travel.
The idea of the t-shirts is nice. Bless all of you during the holidays. We all miss out children - the holiday's intensify our feelings of sadness & loss. Blessings to all of you.

The holidays will never be a joy any longer. Miss my son. So very much.

Kitty you have such a great attitude. One thing I keep telling myself is that Ivy would not want us to be miserable. She would want us to be happy. Yesterday I put up a tree for her. I got some picture frames from the Dollar Store and put glitter on them and hung them up. One of Ivy's favorite things were her glitter shoes.
