I just read something that I found helpful, maybe you all will too.  We are often perplexed as to why friends and family seem to abandon us during this journey.  It could be because, by seeing us in our pain and grief, those around us are reminded that it COULD happen to them, and that makes them uncomfortable, so they avoid us. It made sense to me, especially since most of my friends have teenagers.

Prayers for you Adrianne. {{hugs}} 

Grace - I understand exactly what you mean. The pain and grief seem to isolate us from the rest of humanity.  And unfortunately, the outside world wants us to reach out to them. They do not understand that we don't have the strength.

Don passed 8 months ago today.  I have never gone this long without seeing my son.  My best friend.  I am so lost and in so much pain.

My wife confided in me that she does not want to go to Compassionate friends any longer. She keeps her emotions inside, she does not want to emote in public or talk about Danny except to close family.

I am the outgoing one in the family, I have always opened her to new things and ideas. On this subject I will defer to her.

Quite a nice bench, did you construct it yourself?

Niles "Would have been" 17 today on his GOLDEN Birthday of April 17.... my son mentioned it to me last night.... It kept me awake thinking that no mother ought to Have to say "Would have been".

Amazing,  I was in Whole Foods yesterday and my buddy, the older lady that gives samples was there we talked for a bit. She confided in me after I had told her my son had passed; I had taken the day off to do his final IRS tax form.

She as well lost her son in November. He was a Navy Seal and had died of liver cancer. We both shed a tear and I said a little prayer. We now have drawn closer through a shared grief.
