Hi Linda,

Im very sorry for your loss.  This site has its ups and downs.  Sometimes there is lots of activity and sometimes everyone is in their own corner licking their wounds I suppose.  It has been pretty quiet here the past week or so.  I'm sure you will connect with some people as time goes by.  My son was 34 when he died of complications from a motorcycle accident when he was 18 that left him very injured and with some brain damage.  One year later my husband died from cancer.  March 6th it will be 3 years since my son passed.  He was in so much pain and so unhappy being here that I know he is at peace with what happened, but I miss him soooo much.  Please accept a hug from one mom to another!

I'm sorry for what you are going through, Linda. I read what is posted here but don't always reply... guess that's what most do. I never said goodbye to my mom either, it was sudden and I never imagined she'd be gone that day. Maybe I'd feel a tiny bit better if I had? I don't know. All we have left is the love we gave them and the love we received.
