Teresa, you are loved and I am praying that you are given the strength and love to face the day. Soon on Sept 28th it will be my son's birthday, he would have been 31. I find this month extremely painful though I had begun steeling myself for it earlier. I guess one just stays with whatever comes up and faces it square in the eye and draw strength from the fact that these life lessons are meant to help us understand the impermanence of life. God who is all compassionate and merciful and loving I pray that you keep us peaceful while going through this journey even though we do not understand your ways. I pray that you hold our children close to you and you who are known to be all Love give us that trust that doesn't allow us to have any doubt that all is well. Please merciful God give us all here the much needed comfort and love so that even though we cry in vexation we also feel your presence in our lives everyday.

Theresa,
It's only been 7 months for me, but I know that losing our children will never get easier. We miss them so much.
May you find a few moments of peace today on this horrible day.
Sharon

I don't know what I did...I changed some settings when we had all that SPAM. I don't get my email notifications of new posts. Is it not a setting anymore or did I do something wrong? Thank you
I love you Josh! WYWH. I am sitting here watching your Cowboys-it's not fair you should be here watching them. I miss you so very, very much.

Connie, Jill thank you so much your words of encouragement mean tons. We can only take it day by day.

Jill, you are doing the right thing, Josh knows that, you see we were also told hurtful things when we were struggling with Lexi. Some of my wife's family would tell us we weren't doing enough to help her. It was so hurtful to hear, knowing that we spent thousands and took her to many doctors and long term facilities. I just wonder if they knew how much it hurts dropping your child off for 6 or 7 months hundreds of miles away. I still remember leaving, and the emotional pain we took home with us instead of our sweet little girl. So you are doing the bigger thing, some people just don't understand, and we can't expect them too. They've never experienced something this tragic.

Jane thank you for sharing that post.

Right now I'm in the rabbit hole digging deep.

Love you!

I sent my daughter-in-law another please forgive me email. In the subject line I just put "I am sorry and I hope someday you can forgive me". Of course nothing. My husband, my sister everyone can't believe I am apologizing as she doesn't deserve it. I do it because of Josh. But I now have to stop. She did terribly hurtful things to me. She has turned friends of Josh against me. She isn't kind enough to forgive and say she is sorry too. All I ever did was act/behave like a grieving mother. She watched my son drink himself to death. I had no idea. Josh and her were so good at hiding it. I cannot let her ruin my memories of Josh. He knows I tried my best. He knows I always say I am sorry for everything that is the way I am. I love you Joshie WYWH

Ross-thank you. I understand about Christmas. How we start thinking about it...December 7th it will be a year since I lost my precious son. Life is now measured by days of the week, certain dates and occasions and how to cope and get through them.
