Thanks Angel, may you continue to be blessed, thanks for your support and encouragement, it really means a lot.
Karen....I know my daughter would have been mad as heel at first..and probably fought passing over tooth andnail..she was young, married, in love, in school, at the height of her life and it was snatched out from under her.....I believe in time she came to accept that she was home..and I also believe God may have saved her from something worse....she was His child first as we all are..and I am grateful that he trusted her in my care for 21 years...sound so easy doesn't it...??? it's not...and hasn't been...but acceptance is the key...an once we do that...each breath we take isn't as painful....Karen he isn't crying..he's in the Lord's arms....safely home...Angel
Angel, It is comforting to know that you have found acceptance. I need to believe that my son is in "heaven" and has peace and happiness but instead I am plagued with thoughts of him being angry that his life was snatched away from him, I have torturous thoughts of him crying, being scared and not being accepting of what happened to him. Perhaps these are just my thoughts, I don't know, I just wish that I could feel like he's ok, hopefully one day I will.
I relate t everyone here in different ways....just pasing the 15th anniversary of losing my daughter did a real number on me...no day is different..she isn't here any day...I have searched all over..swore I saw her on the corner waiting for a bus, in an aisle at the store...in a witness protection program...but God has given me the gift of acceptance and that has been my saving grace...I have to believe that she is in heaven..or whatever others call it...in beautiful surroundings, happy , surrounded by everything she loved....that she is in peace...and waiting for me ...or I would lose my mind...almost did 10 months after she passed and then it took me 10 years to have any sort of normalacy in my life..to be able to alugh..I couldn't travel because I thought she would come home...couldn't move because I thought she wouldn't know where I lived when she came back..so now although....there isn't a second of my life that I know she isn't here.....I go on...her life and my love for her lives in a place in my heart that I can live with...when she came and took my husband on her birthday that showed me that she was Ok...she came for him to show me that....and God told her to bring him home so he wasn't in pain and could breath again......Peace. Angel
Hello everyone, it also makes me sick, literally, when I give deep thought about what happened to my son. I still try to tell myself that my mind is playing tricks on me. I must admit, that sometimes if my bath room door is closed, before I open it, I approach it slowly, close my eyes, open the door slowly and peak to see if he's in there. While my eyes are closed, I think to myself that he's really ok. I have had so many traumatic episodes where I find myself searching the house for him......it's terrible. Then of course to my disappoint, when he's not there, I just start to sob and then i start begging my son to come to me, thinking about the days that are passing without him really puts me over the edge. Time passing just reminds me that I can't see him and it makes me more angry and sad. I can not fathom how time heals. I don't even share this with my other children, they would have me committed.
