Adrianne, may God ease all our pain.

I have been thinking of you Dick. My boy died less than 30 days from now last year too. Everyday I think about what we were doing. It seems impossible that I didn't know last year how precious the memories would be. We did so much together. I am saddened by the situation I can't change. I am still in disbelief. I want this to rewind and I wish I could have saved him. Saved us.

Dick, Iam very sorry for the death of your son. Your tribute to him is very touching. Our daughters' one year anniversary is next month, and I'm not sure what we are going to do. My husband and I went to a local restaurant for our son's one year and toasted a beer to him. He loved trying new beers with friends. Both of our children were 26 when they died. We buried them together in a green portion of the cemetery which is natural woods. We had to walk through tall undergrowth to get to their graves, and I spent that time talking with them in the midst of the trees and nature. It is a comforting place. I was struck, as I always am, anew by the stark reality of their deaths by the grave markers laying side by side on the wooded ground. Their names scream at me that they are gone! BOTH of them! In the space of 8 months from each other! How unfair, how terribly unfair. I want to gt a small tree trunk to put out at their graves, and yet, I don't want to spend that much time there. I still cannot believe they are gone, and our lives as parents are over. No grandkids, no future stories of their jobs or lives. Just memories, and as you say, the pictures that will never age. Hugs, Sue

It is not courage, something else. I have summoned it and i will return his best friends call today and discuss a memorial for Danny at the 1 year mark.

My happiness now is so many people have viewed his video, thanks.

The photos do not age bothers me as well.

Comment by Dick on July 19, 2012 at 6:24am

I don't think we should be sorry of the new relatonship. It is just a marker for me that Danny is not in our physical world any longer. Just a reminder to me. It just saddens me Danny is not participating in our life any longer in a physical way.

Dick, I'm so sorry to hear of the new relationship... Your right life does move on around us... I feel like its been days maybe weeks since the accident it's been months almost eight... Every day is harder at times I just feel like I am alone and no one knows or understands the pain and confussion...and then there are times I think of my beautiful son and know he would want so much more for me ...my husband and I don't talk to much anymore unless it is a casual statement about nothing ...I'm suppose to be a stronger person... I'm not ... I lost my sunshine...my daughter is angry that she "had to move home " to help me ... I just see her pain and thought we could help each other.. I was wrong ...so I cling to all your and others words to know I'm ok... So I hear you and feel you.. It just breaks my heart like everything else... I love the idea of the bench I think I will look into doing something simular.. It just seems like such a special connection thank for the ear.. Hugs... Michelle

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
