About Me:
I am here.

That's what I keep telling myself anyway. I am 29. I work with preschoolers. I was the happiest I've ever been until a year ago ago. My whole life changed in an evening, and now I'm trying to figure out how to muddle together some sort of life.
About my Loss:
Evan was amazing. He said he knew he loved me in 8th grade. We didn't find each other until 12 years later. We spent 9 months together and it forever changed me. I felt more comfortable with him (and he me) than anyone I've ever met.
He passed away unexpectedly, April 14th, 2011. I found him in our bed when I got up for work.
It's a loss that I can't comprehend.

    I'm so, so sorry for your loss.  Your precious Evan died on my brother's birthday, who also passed away this past March 13th.  

     

    It's all so hard to understand.  We are all struggling.

     

    Good luck, and keep contacting others who can understand you.

    I'm sorry for your loss and your pain. Your Evan and my 20 yr old daughter Kasey passed on the same day.

    The love of my life passed away in a sudden tragic work accident 2 1/2 wks ago and I am hanging by a thread only because we have 2 kids, one a baby, that I have to take care of. We were together 6 years and planned to spend the rest of are lives together. I feel like I have no idea what's really going on, it is incomprehensible, like you said. God bless you
