I usually say I have four children...three are here with me and one is in heaven with God... but not everyone believes in heaven or God so some people don't like that answer.. but too bad.. its what I believe and I don't really care all that much what anyone thinks .... at least about that subject.. its personal and its what it is.. my truth is my truth and if they don't like it they can not ask me again.. I've lost all patience with having to explain anything to anybody I'm afraid.. I just don't think anyone who hasn't lost their child has a clue .. some keep telling me how much they miss their children who live a far distance away from them and I just want to clobber them when they do that.. but I know they just don't know and I'm not supposed to clobber them, and really am supposed to love them .. so I hide alot too.. just to avoid the whole dang explanation thing...
Michael will always be my son. I still struggle with this question. I don't want to have to explain it and I don't want the sad looks when I say, "Michael is not here". But sometimes at my own fault I end up having to say it. I then just try to keep a smile and move the conversation on.
I have found lots of new places to go - when I don't feel like talking I avoid!! Good answer Rj
Yes it is hard when you are asked that question. I dread it. But I have learned to answer honestly. Daniel was my my only child so it just doesn't feel right at all saying I have no children because I am a mother! I still am a mother. So I say that I have 1 son who has unfortunately passed. Most people respond with compassion. And those who don't have food for thought and usually then will become interested in Daniel's life. This is life and Death is a part of life. I think the more people can talk about it and accept it will just bring about more understanding and love between us all. And I appreciate people asking questions about my sweet angel because that's what I really want to talk about. Oh what a rocky road this is. Just so hard. I feel so grateful for the support of everyone here. Love and prayers to you all.
Rj - Im so glad that work went well today. I think that I actually do better on the days that I work too. Meltdowns will be normal, I have them too. I just go run into the bathroom. I have learned to always have Kleenex with me because I never know when they will hit. I'm just so tired of being sad and crying. My eyes are tired, my whole body is tired...
Connie, thank you for your love and prayers. You are right, it is not normal to bury your child. The heartache just never leaves us...
