Wishing you all the comfort and support we all will need, May we all cry alot, love alot, and eat little.. :),

Wishing everyone peace over the holidays - I know how hard this time of year is for Bereaved parents and hope that you all manage to find a little piece of happiness with family and friends. Of course, there is a huge piece of your 'celebration' missing - I hope you all have the support and love of people who understand how you must be feeling.
Take care everyone and big hugs all round

I Hate & Dread the holidays - Will be so glad when they are over-
Katherine Ellis Comment by Katherine Ellis on November 23, 2009 at 4:57am
Can Thanksgiving be only days away? I have so much to be thankful for but I find myself saddened that our daughter won't be here again this year to share it with us. Holidays are the hardest for all of us. Everyone walks around all joyous when all I want is to get them over with. A part of me died the day our daughter died. There will always be that empty, lonely place inside me. I am praying for everyone, that you get the love, comfort and support you need as these holiday's pass by us.

About my Loss:
On April 1,2009 me, my mother and 3 daughters were in a horrible auto accident. my mom was driivin she is a good driver. katelyne my 6 year old let her seatbelt up to grap her puppy that jumped outta her lap. my oldest daughter hollared at my mom that katelyne had accktulley let her seat belt lose. my mom looked back for just a seckond to tell them to hook there belts back. as soon as thay did my mother realized she had vered off the road a bit there were no sholders on this road she tryed to get the truck back on the road straight. we ended up flippin several times down a verry steep embankment. my oldest got out to get help she was ok and only sustained minor injerys so did my 3 year old. I broke my back n neck n couldent move to check on katelyne. i woke my mom to check on her she opend her door and seen her half under the car and said she knew she was gone. she then passed out . my oldest daughter stopped a game warden. that imidatlly call air life we all hoped it was for katelyne i was still stuck in the car. the ambulances were for my mom n other two kids air life was for me i was seriousley injured and n the hospital for a month. My husband came and finally told me she didnt make it my world stopped i never got to say bye r see her again i couldent go to her funeral thay thought i was next to die n in a way i wish i had. i miss her so much and do not think i will ever feal the same. part of my hart and soul are gone but i have to be strong for my other two kids and my mother that feal horrible guilt. Even thou it wasnt her fault. i cry in my sleep and everyday i miss her so much. i am healed for the most part i can even walk witch the docters didnt think i could ever do again but i whould rather not if i could just have her back .

No DragBooksNo DragTo One In SorrowLet me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.

It’s a unique feeling, when it finally dawns on you that someone who has been a part of your life for such a long time is no longer there. It’s a sickening realisation that stops you in your tracks.

Ann - I'm glad that article was helpful to you and your husband and the others you met. As Laura mentioned before, sometime things are more than coincidences. I am so glad you had the chance to pass it on to those who really needed it.

Laura Villarreal Comment by Laura Villarreal on November 14, 2009 at 7:04pm
Just wanted to share with everyone that Angela (my daughter) continues to watch over me which tells me she is watching over all of us...

Yesterday I scheduled a service appointment to have the air ducts cleaned in the house. I was hesitant to do this with Chuck (my husband)not being here (me being alone) but I felt it was best to get it done while he was being taken care of in the hospital. (I guess I do watch too much CSI and Law and Order!)

When they called to say they were on their way I said a little prayer for my safety. Imagine my surprise when I met them on the sidewalk and thinking to myself "this guy looks familiar". He looked at me and said "you're Angela's mom, I was at her service, we went to school together". We both cried briefly then moved on to the business at hand.

Coincidence? I don't think so...it was Angela's way of taking care of me.

When I least expect it I find her close by, watching over me.



Written November 14, 2009 as Abel (Angela’s high school friend) was cleaning the air ducts!

To One In Sorrow

Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.

-Grace Noll Crowell

The Light Beyond

The Gift That Freed Me To Give

A significant lesson for me has been understanding and accepting that our greatest gains often come through experiences in our lives that may be extremely painful. My father, Raphel Orval Beason, died less than four months before I was born at the age of 19 in an explosion at the Port Chicago U.S. Navy arsenal near Oakland, Calif. He was among 320 men killed on July 17, 1944, when two merchant ships blew next to...

The loss of a son

Mother's Day will always be the anniversary of my son's death, no matter what date it falls on. May 9, 2010, the day I lost a piece of my heart. I have vivid memories of that day but they are brief glimpses only. He called that morning to tell me Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you! I remember being 250 miles away from my home, my other child and my family. I don't know...

Try tapping, it works wonders...

I don't often recommend specific methods to help with grief. But the self-help method I'm going to tell you about - EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques - is well worth making an exception for. Basically, it involves tapping on the acupuncture points to tap into your body's own energy and healing power. If you think that sounds a little far-fetched and woo-woo, so did I. In fact, I starting doing EFT on myself for chronic...

Daughter of Suicide

It has been 22 and a half years since my mother’s suicide in October 1987. I look at that number – 22 – and it startles me. It’s hard to believe that I have lived more of my life without my mother, than with her. During those first 10 years after her death I carried the heavy load of her suicide every waking moment. I struggled with my own depression and feelings of abandonment and...

8 practical ways to help a grieving family
