Today I read Peggys comment
I read a comment today about Peggys son Shawn. It made me smile. I know we all share the sad things about our children, but it was a fresh story and a happy moment and I appreciate Peggy for sharing this with us. Sometimes we get lost in the saddness of it all and it was nice to see a happy story for a change. So I decided that today I would blog about some of my good memories of my boys. When the boys were little they used to sneak into our room at night and lay a blanket and pillow down on… Continue
not another birthday?
This has been a very stressful month. Next week would be my Bens 28th birthday. I'm writing today so that next week when I look back at this I can hopefully refrain from feeling really bad. Today I feel ok. I can't help but think about all the things that have happened over the years. My daughter just had surgery fix her face from the accident that took Bens life. It never ends. It''s always there. I can run but I can't hide. My other daughter is having serious marital trouble and a new baby… Continue
good day today
Today I am ok and so I am grateful. Coach Louise talked to me about the truth. It helped alot. The truth is you can't predict when bad things are going to happen. Today I am strong enough to accept the truth, that things are going to happen whether I like it or not, but it's what I do with those things that will make the difference in my life. I believe in God. God makes me angry, confused and dissapointed. I still believe. When I'm angry he hears words that should never be heard. When I feel… Continue

The Holiday had come and gone.
The holiday has come and gone and it took no prisoners this year and I am grateful for that.The decorations are down and put in their boxes,The boughs of holly are saftly nestled in their containers. The tree is back to sleep for another year and the lights are done twinling for another year.The stockings are all rolled up and put into stacks to be stowed away nicely while they take their long winters nap. The candy canes were old so I put them in a box and off to the trash they went so they… Continue

The first day of the new year
It's the first day of the new year, and now we begin a new. I did'nt say we start over because I don't want to start over. I want to begin a new.A new way of thinking, a new way of believing, and a new way of living my life. I have been on a very long and painful journey. I'm thinking it's time to do things different. This year I am going to try and spend more days laughing than crying, smiling, instead of frowning, and grateful instead of being selfish. I have realized that I can't change… Continue

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?
Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
"Hi Rosa,
First, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Losing someone you love only two days ago is incredibly painful, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling unsure about what to do right now.
Personally, I don’t…"
