youre not selfish. i felt that all the time after i lost my daughter last year. it's normal for us to feel like fast forwarding to the end. its not our fault we feel like that. our pain is often unbearable and its natural to feel like that's the only way it will go away. we know we have to continue our journey, especially for our other children. but fast forwarding sometimes feels like the only remedy to our pain. (even though we know that would only cause others MORE pain! so we continue). lots of love, jan

i know it seems unbelievable that a person can live through so much pain. I always thought i would have to be put in an institution if somthing happened to one of my children. Instead it seems the whole world has become on big prision. Even convicts know how much time they have to serve. It just is undescibable but you dont have to describe it to me cauz i am in the same misery. only people who have lost a child could ever understand

hi melissa, i'm still trying to work my way around learning how to use this site, getting there. but i DID see this post.
just want to say that i know, really really know, and identify with you. i lost my 12 year old daughter one year and 8 months ago. i am battling something indescribable.
so much advice, so much trying. but i dont know how to do this, i really dont know how to live without her here with us
