Dear Cyndii, 

I am so sorry to read that your beloved son was killed. You must be in complete shock still and the grief is unrelenting. We will all be here whenever you need to let it out. I lost my 26 year old daughter August 17, 2013. It is coming up on her birthday and the anniversary of her death. The grief does ease. Know that you will make it and we are here to help.

Sending hugs and prayers to your family

Dear Cindi

 I am so sorry for you r loss. I have been trying to send you a message on your memory garden blog but keep having technical difficulties!! it was 18 months this past Sat that my son left us. The family just does not, CAN NOT understand, ONly when you lose a child can you fully grasp the overwhelming grief. Today it feels like it happened yesterday.Now they all expect me to be back in the groove, I need to find a job and don't have the mojo. I need to go back east and visit my mom and I get so anxious because I know I have to keep "the mask" on and it's so hard. I also have a memory garden for my son and find some peace in caring for it and doing other gardening. It helps me feel close to God and my son.Just keep caring for that garden and I know your son will be there with you. Your sister may not be able to express her own grief. It's a place most folks don't want to go. Sending you lots of love and prayers.
