good morning everyone....I agree totally with Grace ...no one person is stronger than the other ..God didn't send us a manual on how to deal with the loss of one of our children...sadly I wish he did...Karen ..everyone will get where I am ...at 15 years....someday...then at 20 and then some at 30...there's no changing this nigmare....I made it through last weekend with alot of tears...and this week is different...I am leaving today to go visit the wonderful man God sent to me...he held my hand from 700 miles away all last weekend and I would like and need a vacation desperately so I am visiting him for a week...a wonderful person here told me to follow my heart and not let go of this Angel...I do believe he was sent to me for a reason...and yes....Grace >..I also agree ...on wanting a caregiver sometimes...I have been one all my life at at 58 ..I am tired..but we still get up breathing every day without our children...and I feel we have to believe the rest peacefully in God's arms...I would have lost my mind if I didn't have God in my life....Peace
Michelle, I hear you loud and clear.... so many people assume we are "Strong" the truth is WE REALLY ARE NOT.... We just get up in the morning and Exist in this Reality.... And I too have had Days where I just want to stay in bed and have everyone leave me alone.... or I have had somedays where I wish people did not EXPECT me to be strong.... maybe I need someone to take care of me and not expect me to be the caretaker. Michelle ... I am sure a lot of us will tell you we are no stronger than anyone else on this site.... we have all felt like small children needing comfort and sometimes searching for it and not finding it.
Yes Michelle....we all know! This really sucks.
yes Karen it is hard to believe that Angel has hit 15 years..... I too can not imagine... but it is our new reality isn't it...... all of these anniversaries will pass and we will always remember them.... but I really never want to forget either. My Niles life has meant so much to me.... his autism was very challenging.... and I worried so much about who would love him if I passed.... always hoped I would not leave him behind... always saw him in my future.... but life slaps us in the face with how fragile and random our lives are..... now when I hear of anyone passing.... I feel that random reality.... and know that another will enter the tunnel of grief..... PEACE
Hey Angel, wow, 15 years...I can't imagine what I feel like when I too will be saying..."my son passed away 15 years ago". I haven't made the 3 year mark yet and my pain still feels like it did the day it happened to my 21 yr old son. All i can say to you and all parents that have lost their child, is that my heart hurts with yours.
