Sandy, you could hang it in a spot where you could only see it if you specifically looked for it. You'd know it's there and could see it when you want to. There's nothing "wrong" at all about wanting to have a remembrance of your son on the tree.

Everything is so confusing, Ammy one part of me thinks I should hang it and one part of me thinks I will cry every time I look at it...This is all so friggin hard.

Sandy, I understand how your daughter feels but if you would feel better having his stocking up I think you should hang it.  We need to experience our memories because that is really all we have left.

I have a silly reindeer in a rocking chair that sings Grandma got run over by a reindeer that my son gave me.  I have to put it out each year because it does make me remember how he thought it was so funny.

We are not being selfish or trying to hurt other family members when we are doing something to help ourselves.  Just my opinion.

Blessings of hope, love, and peace to each of you during this season.

Michelle, I used that song when I made my first video in the first year.  It really touched my heart and was so true but it's even harder for me to listen to it now.  Back then it was comforting, but now ........ well you know.

Jane, I was thinking of you yesterday and sent prayers for you.

Started decorating for Christmas last night.  Hung the Christmas stockings but one is missing.  First time in 18 years, I wanted to hang Randy's up but my daughter said no, that would be wrong.  OMG how it hurts to look at them and not see his. God give us strength to get through these holidays.

On Monday at our meeting of The Compassionate Friends, there was a candlelightingredients and slideshow of photos of our children who have passed. The slides were accompanied by several poignant songs. Here is one I'd like to share with each of you.Karen Taylor Good- Precious Child lyrics: http://youtu.be/pHiq3lfw9mc

Hugs to you Jane ((( )))

Comment by Lynn Williams on December 2, 2014 at 12:17pm

Jane sending hugs of support on the 2nd anniversary of Danielle's death. I will say a prayer for her today. Try to keep the essence of your daughter and the love you share in your heart and mind. Love Lynn

Sandy I am sorry you are in such pain today, We all remember those first early months without our child. The pain does ease over time but the awareness of their passing never fades from our hearts and mind. Hold on tight to those still here who love you during this holiday season. It does help along with getting the emotions out. Love to all here.

Comment by Sandy Hendrix on December 2, 2014 at 11:26am

I'm so exhausted. I cant stand to be at work and here people talk about their kids and the Holidays.  I'd like to run away but there is no where to run away from this.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

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
