i keep pictures of my deceased daughter, Adriana, around the house and at work. i also keep pics of my two year old daughter, kendall, at home and at work. they look ALOT alike. those who don't know me well see the pictures at work and say "aw she so adorable" thinking the pics are of the same child. it's been three years and i still can't say it outloud ......"that is a pic of my daughter adriana who is dead" without wanting to throw myself on the floor to cry....
It's like me know speak a different launguage, that only we can understand.
This is the only place I don't feel alone.
Adrianne- that is exactly how I feel. I feel "different" than all of the other parents around me.
Today would have been Ivy's 5th birthday. She died just over a year ago and its hard to believe she would be 5. She was my baby.
I come on this site regularly... it has been more than 3 1/2 years... You are sooo right Adrianna..... I often think how many of our friends have no idea how in just a second our lives have drstically changed.... I sometimes find that I over speak to them when I see them taking children for granted or passing the parenting role to someone else because it is so hard for them to deal with a teenager. My son had Autism and was quite a challenge... but I never passed him on to someone else to raise.... and another friend has been luck that her children have had some athletic accidents that have involved head injuries such as concussions and I am like so over protective of their children... because I see that in a split second life could toss this horrible curve ball. I can see this but they have no clue, because they really can't see what they take for granted..... holidays, school, an even the challenges....until they have lost what we have lost.
We are all members of the profound sorrow club. All we can do is give our understanding and support. I know that without the support of others i would not have made this far. Each day brings new challenges, from how many children do you have, to what are you doing for the holidays. We need ongoing support, which include prayers from all that offer them.
I found out yesterday that a friend of mine 20 year old daughter was killed in a car accident on Sunday. I called her and she asked me how to do this. I just really didn't know what to tell her. I hate that she too has to endure this unbearable pain that we all have. I told her that it just really sucks and that it is going to be hard for a long time. Sometimes just taking it one second at a time. I know prayers are what have helped me be able to get up in the morning and get out of bed, and continue trying to live this life. Forever changed. Knowing how she is feeling now, and how much pain she is going through, brings it crashing back. God how I wish none of us would ever have to go through this. I just want my son back. Prayers for us all, and especially today for my friend, Nancy and her family. Robin
We can NEVER let our children be forgotten, they all had a life. So nice to hear Crystal that your son is remembered : )
