It's that time. The day before my son's birthday. He would have been 20. I didn't do the drum circle but did get the t-shirt blanket done in time. It arrived on Friday. Love being able to wrap it around me. We will have dinner with his best friends and hike the mountain where they out up the little wooden cross

Connie, I'm so sorry that you had to put Gully to sleep. Our beloved pets are family and it's hard to say goodbye. I'm glad you asked Daniel to take care of him. I hope Chris is taking care of pets we've had to part with. I do know Chris is with his favorite cat, Bliss, who was like a best friend to him when he was first out on his own.

Oh I'm sorry Sheri. Give it at least 3 times. Maybe because the weather was bad? I've only been once too. I wish it was more than once a month. Check out local hospitals. Ours have bereavement groups weekly. Some churches have them too if you are religious. Grief share is a religious one around here. I tried that one, but felt a little out of place because it was too religious for me.
personally, but you may find it useful.

Rj, I've always cried easily, so crying has been hard for me. I cried so much that I had no tears left!

You know? I do feel better after I have cried. I have never been a cryer, i have cried more since 2/1 than i have cried in my 52 years on this earth.

That's okay. I feel better after I cry. Do you? If I haven't cried for awhile, it feels like pressure building up...like a volcano. I cry, and then I feel better. Life is hard for us right now... We will get better. We will do it for our sons.

Sharon, thats probably what will happen because it seems whenever i open my mouth to speak, i cant stop crying. I had my one on one session today, i started balling before i even entered the office.

Aww connie, im so sorry. You are dealing with so much. I can also imagine your sweet Daniel smiling with open arms. I just looked up at larrys picture on the mantle and asked him to find daniel because both of their moms have been acquainted and want to make sure they are both okay and to take care of our fur-babies. Im sure they already have it covered. :) xoxo

Compassionate friends is a wonderful group. I have just volunteered to be the newsletter editor/producer for my local chapter. I feel this way I can use my grief to help others and myself. We also use content from others in the group nationally. If anyone has an original poem or article they want to share let me know. Hugs to everyone.

Iam just heartbroken. I had to put my sweet sweet kitty of 12 years down last night after trying to save him for 2 weeks. Wow , I heard my son say "mom I'll take care of him." as I held in in my arms while he went to sleep. I imagine Daniel together with Gully (the cat), Monkey boy (another cat we lost last year who just disappeared) and our family doggie who died of cancer just a few months before Daniel. The kitty died of pancreatitis. Such a cruel irony because my son suffered twice with it because of a drug they gave him for the Crohn's disease and it was a nightmare. Really - WTH?

Rj, you can just go and listen... or share if you are up to it. I pretty much cried my whole session. Every day is so sad and empty.  Holidays for sure will be the worst.  I've already made plans NOT to be home for mothers day.

I dread easter, coming up....actually i dread anything that used to be fun because larry was always there. Im so homesick for his hugs, for his voice, everything about him.
