This is so hard for me to say but it must be said. The last thing we said to our son before he took his life, "get the hell outta here" when he woke us at 2:00 am wanting a cigarette. At 5:00 am I heard a gun shot! Lesson for all, don't say unkind words. You must live with them forever.....
Every day is so different, new things to remind us of our loss. The Coke isle at Wal Mart, a song, a quarter pounder at McDs. Even the Weather Channel watching for snow. Every day, difficult! We keep hanging on to memories, good and bad.
Hey everyone. I too am tormented by the events/moments leading up to the worst day of my life. Sometimes I silently yell at myself to block the images out but it hardly works. Sometimes, someone could be having the nices conversation with me and it's like I don't hear them, I'll be thinking 2 myself, wow, if they only had a clue, the day I loss my son is just playing over and over again in my head. It's like I totally drift away. Sometimes I catch myself tapping my head as if I can tap these thoughts out of my mind. My sadness and my anger makes me feel physically beaten up. It's like I don't get any relief. I almost had a accident today.....again, I thought i saw my son walking on the side walk, all I could do was burst into tears when i realized it wasn't him. This is what my life is like now.......crazy! it's like I am still driving around wanting to find him.
Sending love <3 to all with this most horrendous- loss, pain, agony - - - there are not words strong enough to describe the loss of a child.
Grace, it IS like that movie Groundhog Day. I never did like that one... the thoughts and scenes go around and around our heads, trying to make sense of something we will never be able to make sense of. I missed Silas so much today, but then that seems everyday and sometimes I think, "why even talk about it..." I don't know. It is just so very sad, my blue eyed boy was such a funny one, and I am missing that in my life now.
I am oddly numb today? Numb seems to be better than sad.
Hi Everyone...... My mind seems to wander off so much too.... I regularly find myself Replaying the entire week from the call that my son was having a siezure through the whole ER and ICU.... and Funeral.... Along with my imagination about organ retrieval..... I wish this Video Tape would Destruct like the ones on the old spy shows.... and the memory bank would be wiped clean and all my mind would remember are Happy Thoughts. May 2009 and the movie has been in too manhy reruns... it is like the movie Groundhog Day... Dick I see visions of people my son's age.... or special needs people... or almost any similarity... I know what you mean... you look at them and imagine it is your or my son... they should be going to school... or work... .PEACE
My tenuous grasp on my sanity is slipping. The cocoon of numbness I wrapped myself in is breaking apart. Why does it seem that the smallest added stress in my life sends me plummeting into this darkness? It's just a really bad day. Peace to you all.
rosie, i know its so very hard, i wish you only strength to get through the day. i feel same as when you say i know she's around in spirit, but its just not the same. it really just isnt the same. but michele, i love what u said about the wonderful dreams we have, that they really do bring comfort, even if only for just a short while :) ... i have the pigeons, all the time. they visit me a lot.
i had a stronger day today, i pray for more such days....
lots and lots of love, Steph xxxxx
Setting in a meeting looking around at 20 & 30 Y.O.s, I got a tear in my eye; missing Danny.
