Karen,Grace,
It would mean the world to me to have any of Billy's friend call and just talk of him.... They all speak to my daughter still but I would love to hear from them.. I just want to speak of my son again and have people speak of him... He didn't just vanish even though thats what it feels like... Does any one have an opinion on group or a private councelor ??? What seems to help more?? Or is there no help from all this pain? Michelle

GRACE, YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I RECENTLY TOLD A FRIEND OF MINE HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ALL OF US LEFT BEHIND, TO HEAR OUR LOVED ONE'S NAME SPOKEN OR TO JUST LET US KNOW THAT THEY REMEMBER THEM. SHE HAD BEEN PROCRASTINATING OVER WHETHER OR NOT TO CALL ONE OF BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER.....THAT FRIEND UNFORTUNATELY PASSED AWAY. SHE THOUGHT CALLING HER MOM WOULD ONLY UPSET HER, I TOLD HER ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I spent the weekend with a good friend who lost her husband 7 years ago... We were in his Home Town..... and she was having many fond memories with some of the locals who remembered him.... It was so positive to see her remember him and we talked about it alone how it feels to have people still talk about him.... "It Proves He really DID Exist and left an impression" ... Yes it is good to hear others remember her loved ones....I know it feels good to have those respect my loved one too.....

Dick, I think that sounds wonderful, don't stress on it enjoy that the memory of you son is there and being honored..... Maybe one of them would want to take charge of it ... My son was killed in a car accident two days after thanksgiving .. He was buried twelve days before his eighth birthday ... His golden birthday as he told my daughter on her birthday( thanksgiving) it would all be about him after that day because this would have been his golden birthday.. He was buried in a golden urn my daughter and I picked out.. On his birthday we went to visit with him at the grave site and a crowd of high school seniors stood there as we approached they. Ame to visit then they were going bowling for his birthday that's how they all celebrated each others birthday,,, it was sad but it was nice that they still honored him on his birthday.. Hugs Michelle

Dick we are going through the same thing! We have decided to have our family alone. Let the friends do as they please without our presence. My son loved the ocean. Liked to surf. So we will visit his grave and do a family bonfire at the beach.

Danny's friends approached me and want to do a one year memorial. I am not sure, should I let them? What should the venue be? I just don't know and it gives me stress. I feel like I would be living through a funeral again. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Grace, that's absolutely wonderful that the benefit in honor of your son raised so much funds.

I agree what you said about Zimmerman, this world can be really twisted, I know his parent's pain and anguish all too well.

Greetings Soliel's Mom, this is a club of forced membership.....no volunteers here!!!!! I am so sorry to learn of yet another parent's loss. It's so hard to see my son's friends and cousins go on with their lives as if he never existed. My children try to convince me otherwise, they tell me that I am just extra sensitive and that no one has forgotten him. No matter what, I still feel like they have. 

I depend so much on this group, everyone's support has been tremendous. It's makes a big difference to have your feelings validated and not criticized or judged. I sadly and regretfully welcome you with open arms.

Hello  Lorraine, nice and sad to hear from you all at the same time. You aren't kidding about the harsh reality that life goes on, even though I feel like mine's ended. Sometimes I just read everyone posts and don't comment.
