Thanks Dick, I may check out the grief support group at the hospital. I go to Compassionate Friends, but like you know, that only meets once a month sometimes I think I need more than that. Ammy, I know exactly what you mean. I feel like when I go to work, or whatever, I put on that mask so I can go through the motions and do what I need to do. So many people have told me what an inspiration I am, how I have gone through this whole experience with such Grace. I always tell them, that it is may mask that is on, when I get home and let the walls as they say "come a tumbling down". I think we do what we have to do. I do believe that all the prayers from everyone have helped me, or I would still be in bed to this day. Big hugs and prayers for all of us. Robin

I found out Methodist Hospitals have a grief support groups. You all should check the closest one to find out. I think they help.

Grace, I am so sorry, but you know they say  you can't pick your relatives, but you can pick your friends......my family has not bothered with me either, but you know what.....I really do not care, for if you cannot be kind to someone with this sadness that we have, why would I want them in my life anyway......Please take care..........((hugs)))

OH AMMY HOW I CAN RELATE!  I just went through the golden Birthday ... he would have been 17 on April 17.... then this May 27 is 3 years from his death.  And Have a question of the existence of a GOD who has put such pain in my life..... I ask my Believer friends to Pray for me too... because I have less than a Mustard seed of faith these days.

Sorry I haven't been around for awhile and I see we have some new members that I wish were not here.  We all understand the emotions and wish they would just go away, but I know they won't.  Maybe temporarily we get a little relief.  

My son's B'day is coming up and then the 2 years.  I find myself in a place I can't describe.  I feel like I'm living in a fantasy world - avoiding the truth.  Doing anything I can to ignore the truth.  And just waiting for the end to come.

I'm very sorry for everyone's loss(es), but I can't help.  What an awful feeling when I've always been able to help someone get through their problems.  This is just too big for any of us.

I'm sorry I had to let it out.  I hope I haven't upset anyone.  If you are a believer, please pray for me.  I feel like I'm 2 different people.  One for myself and one for everybody else.  It's killing me.

I pray for God's mercy/grace for us all.

Hugs to all.

Robin Im so sorry.  I do the exact same thing.  I have a really bad day like yesterday and I chastise myself for it.  I tell myself they would not want me to be so unhappy.  And then I have a good day and feel soo guilty.  How can I be happy when they are gone?  What is wrong with me that I can be ok even if for a minute?  We all need to be let off the rollercoaster because it makes my heart hurt, and my head spin.

Grace I have to say your family is horrible!!  We have a few special needs family members and they are all so very loved and accepted by all.  My sister has the most wonderful daughter.  She was born with down syndrome and they were told 34 years ago to just put her in a home.  NOT!!  She is the most beautiful, loving, compassionate, talented person you would ever be lucky enough to know.  My son was injured in that motorcycle accident, had brain damage, was physically handicapped as well and did my family turn their backs on him.  NO!!  Unfortunately you cant pick your family.  My heart breaks for you that they would be so cruel.  soooo very wrong.  Im glad you found this place where you know people care for you and understand your loss.  Big hugs to you.

Grandma sewing room

So I am almost done with cleaning my grandmas sewing room that wasn’t touched in 10 years because of all the mess, but now that she passed away 2 days ago, I don’t know if I should continue, I wanna finish what I started but I don’t know what to do, my grandpa is still alive and I don’t want to leave this burden on him.See More
