Dolly my heart is with you today and I know Brandon is too. Hugs

Hugs to you Jane. We lost our children about the same time. I too thought I would somehow better by now. No we just learn how to get through the days. I am sorry you are hurting so much. I am sorry for us all. I am stuggling also and worry about my apathy. I feel unable to be the wife my husband deserves. We are both in so much pain and deal with it differently. I just don;t have the energy anymore...I miss you more than words can ever express my Daniel...

Jane, you are not alone... today its two years since Brandon died... I miss him all the time... feel broken inside... feel isolated from a world that just goes merrily along as if nothing has destroyed me and doesn't care if something has destroyed me.. tells me to keep it to myself and stop feeling sorry for myself.. so I like you avoid all contact with anyone I don't absolutely have to see or hear or talk to... I don't answer the phone unless its my oldest son... I don't go anywhere but up into the mountain where nobody else but me and my husband goes... I too have my affairs in order.. no viewing.. no funeral.. cremation... dump my ashes wherever... don't care.. I try to stay healthy enough to outlive my disabled son but after that I will be ready to leave this awful world... I am grateful for those I have here on earth .. but they are too busy with their own lives to miss me and my leaving won't change anything for anyone except my son and husband... I wish I had more hope and joy ... but every time I think I have found a way to function someone comes along and tells me I have once again made a mistake and what I feel is valid is NOT valid and to shut up... so I just go hide again...

Hello everyone

I don't post very often, but I read the wall everyday.

There are many of us who have the same side effects due to the loss of our child. I thought I was the only one. I stopped all unnecessary meds, I stopped going to doctor, I stopped going to any medical persons. I had a heart attack about 13 years ago, I've stopped seeing him also. My affairs are in order, everyone is looked after. My funeral is arranged, it is very simple and private. I don't want anyone looking at me. I will die, be cremated and my ashes will be buried with my daughter's ashes. One stop funeral.

It may sound odd, but it is who I have become since Danielle left. She has been gone 2 years, 5 months today.

I avoid going out in public as much as possible, I like to be alone.

I continue to have the "attacks", the ones that bring you to your knees. They are horrible, I lay on the bathroom vanity so my tears can drop in sink, my eyes are too sore to use tissue, I gag and convulse until it's over. I have these on a daily basis, sometimes more than once. I have no joy in my life. Danielle was my joy.

As depressing as all this is, I'm still here. Not my choice, but it is my reality.

Sometimes I just need someone to hear me, and my pain, without telling them. They should just know.

I found a very special friend here, she has kept me going. We email almost daily.

My life is in turmoil, my husband wants a normal life again and I can't give it to him.

So I came here to pour my heart out.

Thank you for letting me.

I always think of all of you and how you get through this.

My heart is with you.

Rj you should see your doctor. It probably is stress induced, but to make sure... Remember to breathe... Maybe try a meditation cd.

Laurie, I too added additional insurance. They say that stress like the one suffered from a death of a child, can increase our chance of heart attack or stroke. I can see why. We feel like crap, we don't eat right and can't sleep!

Its crazy because i have been so short of breath going on 4 days now. Even with the meds, nothing helps.

I often wondered if there was such a thing of broken heart syndrome. http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/More/Cardiomyopathy/Is-Bro...

I signed up for these daily emails, i am on day 18. I have to say, the messages and small prayer actually help. I am now looking forward to them each morning. Just thought i would share . Guess i reach out to anything that may help even if just a tiny bit. http://www.griefshare.org

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
