    And my sincerest condolences on your husband.  That is absolutely horrifying.  It's a testament to your strength that you're able to be in school, though.  You will undoubtedly do much good in this world.

    Thank you Deborah, I am doing okay just now  - not so many days where I want to lock myself away from the world.  I still feel the loss each day that I wake and realise that Chris wont be coming back to us but it is getting easier to bear. I still talk to him each day and hope for guidance - his is the first name I think of each morning and my last thought at night.  I have so much that I wish I could have said and so much still to say.  Even now 28 months later, I am still meeting people that don't know that he is no longer with us and those meetings are so very hard and uncomfortable.  I hope that you are finding things easier too and you are in my prayers each day.,  God bless you and hold you in his hands and heart.

    i know you don't want to i am sorry but i really do understand the pain.  In 1989 my mother was stabbed to death when she answered her door. Took 20 years to come to justice but it did and we laid mom to rest in out minds in 2009. In Nov ov 2009  my oldest son was struck and killed crossing the street.  I thought that life couldn't possibly any worse.  I missed him so much.  he was 32 i thought i was in hell and this past may the day after mothers day i lost a another son. I wonder why god is mad at me.I cry all the time. i just keep tissues everywhere.  I miss my family terribly.  I feel your pain  my world is pretty well gone too god bless you i hope you keep in touch
