I have friends and family that try to talk me into activities, at first they were OK; but now boring.
I just go to work during the week, fix thing that is needed on the weekend, and sleep the rest of the time. Sleep is my respite.
As a father, my job is to provide and fix things;I can do neither. I will never see Danny get married nor have children, my grandchildren. I just set and think my future has been stolen from me. I never imagined a life as this.
I keep thinking about how we are in this world one minute, then gone.
I wish I could post new pictures or videos of Danny. But I have none, time stopped.
Hi, I haven't been on in a longtime. I think the anniversary of Danny's passing, holidays, and his birthday coming has overwhelmed me. I am not doing well emotionally. I still go to group therapy and have found out what is the problem; but no solution. I think there is no solution.
The days just pass. I'm numb. I avoid people. I am really sad.
This has served as my place to vent. I have been here for more than a year even though my Niles has been gone since May 2009. It has been a rough 3 plus years I thought My marriage was falling apart... it may still be. My other kids are grown. I have not gone to grief groups. I just feel like I have been so alone. ANd Yet I know there are families here that have lost a child... even several special needs children. I still don't know about God... I hear folks say Prayers for this or that... I guess I don't know if I can honestly say I can say aprayer for anyone.... like I don't have God.... or If I do I am so angry with God that I am too stubborn to ask him in prayer. I still have strained relationship with my 83 year old Mother since she and my brother said mean things about me should of having an abortion instead of having my Niles..... She called last night and spoke to me like she did nothing wrong.... I know I should make peace with her before she dies but then again they have not given me Peace with comments like that. It is so much emotions... I know it is hard to talk to others because I don't think they can truely understand the pain of having your Mother say this about your dead child..... To them they think I should just forgive and forget... but I feel like a totally beaten down child. And I just can't seem to believe there is a GOD that has dealt me such suffering... then again I feel like Why Not me? Why should it be others that should suffer..... I am not immune to this.... Life is so random.... Yet we see others around us not having these tortures....PEACE... Searching for it... still
So grateful for this site! Looking into going to a group near my home and aside from one on one grief counseling I have not been able to talk to anyone like I can on this site.
Thanks everyone!
Angel, you are right. I really appreciate everyone"s unending support.
Karen..that's because we're not really strangers...we;re actually closer than some family and friends....Angel xo
