We are grieving our daughter. I am trying to be strong. I cry almost every day. I know she is o.k in heaven and I can not wait to see her when my time here is done. My husband and 2 sons get me through.

<p>As I said in my last discussion I was going to share some of the things that I do to help me cope a little better from day to day. </p>
<p>Please everyone remember to have patience with yourselves. We have all been through a loss that is unimaginable. Afterall, we are the parent, and our children should go before us, right? </p>

<p>So to start off, I have learned that when I try not to deal with Brittainy being gone, ( like trying to suppress my feelings, try to stop thinking about her so I can avoid the pain), it makes me worse. So I have been trying something new. I know this may sound crazy, but I actually do things to make myself have a really good cry. For instance, I put on some music, that is either something that reminds me of her, or something sad, (but try to keep the sad song an inspirational one). I will cry as hard as I feel is necessary to let out all the emotions that I am suppressing. I have found this actually makes me feel a lot better. Sure, it may just be temporary, but it does help with the feelings that you need to let out. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have also found that when I get in a real rut. Like not wanting to get up in the morning, feeling overwhelmed, not wanting to take care of myself, having panic attacks, or other symptoms. I have been making myself take a shower, and while I am in the shower I listen to Christian Music. But, you don't have to just listen to Christian music, you can listen to anything that makes you feel better. Make sure that you are in a room where you can't be bothered by anyone for at least an hour. Keep everyone away, so that you can have some "me" time. This is unbelievably helpful. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is just for starters. I am hoping that everyone jumps in a participates in this discussion. Like I said in my last discussion that I posted, I would love for everyone to participate in this. Not only comment on what I wrote, but let us all know what you are doing as well. This could be so very helpful for everyone. Everyone's coping skills are different, so nothing you can say should be off limits. There is nothing that anyone can put in this discussion that seems crazy, or too off the wall. SO share, share share. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I pray to hear from everyone soon. With much Love and many Blessings on you and your family. God Bless you all, Gyla Darden</p> Sorry About being away for so long........tag:www.onlinegriefsupport.com,2011-04-14:2054931:Topic:435122011-04-14T20:27:46.944ZGyla Lynn Dardenhttp://www.onlinegriefsupport.com/profile/GylaLynnDarden
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p> I am sorry that I have not been communicating with anyone, or starting new discussions. Some administrator I am lol. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have been going through a lot lately, as I am sure everyone has. It seems to have really gotten the best of me and control over my life. I hope that all of you are doing well, and I hope that you are all coping and at peace with your loss and yourselves. </p>

<p>This month will be 9 months since I lost Brittainy (isn't that strange, that is how long it takes to carry and give birth to your child). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I haven't heard from anyone in a while, and would like for everyone to let me know how you are doing. I would also like for everyone to let me know what you are doing to cope with your loss. A lot of times the things that we share, might help someone else to cope as well. So by all means everyone share what you are doing. It is not only therapeutic, but it might help others. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I love all of you, and pray for you everyday, that God will bring peace to your hearts, minds, spirits, and family.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So in the next discussion I will be the one to start off telling you what I have been doing to try to cope with my loss. I hope that everyone joins in and we can really get this room started up. I believe truly that God is the only reason that I have made it through not only the loss of my sweet angel, Brittainy, but through many more things in my life. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope everyone participates in this, and I welcome any newcomers, and hope that you will invite others that you know to join. They don't necessarily have to have had the same loss, so if you know anyone that is suffering and needs support of any kind please by all means invite them here. </p>
<p> </p>

Welcome, <br></br> I welcome you all. I am sorry that it is under such circumstances that we have to be here, but I am hoping that we can all come together with God and help each other heal. It is a terrible tragedy to lose anyone in your life, but it seems even worse to lose a child. <br></br>I recently lost my child after a botched gall bladder surgery. You are welcome to read my story on my page. I lost Brittainy who was only 18, in July, and it seems almost surreal to me. If it weren't…

You are welcome to read my story on my page. I lost Brittainy who was only 18, in July, and it seems almost surreal to me. If it weren't for the love of Jesus Christ, my family and friends and Brittainy's friends, I am not sure that I would have made it as far as I have. <br/>I hope that we can all use this group to support each other and to honor our beautiful children that are no longer here in body, but are here in spirit. <br/> May God Bless you all, and I will keep you all in my prayers. <br/> Gyla Darden<hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"/><br/><hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"/><p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2654399214?profile=original" alt=""/></p>
