OK, so I have to admit to feeling a little abandoned and hurt when no one commented on my post about yesterday being Chris' birthday. I did make it through...
Ammy,,, yes the exhaustion comes from thinking or trying not to think.. either way we are doomed.
Dolly, I asked my daughter what the med was and she said Effexor.
I think any med can have an effect. We are all different and any thing is possible to have an effect on you.

Oh how my heart hears all of you.
Sleeping or not sleeping is all part of this. I can remember being up all night and going through the next day that first year or even longer. I haven't pulled an all nighter in awhile now, so that is good.
Being tired is normal. In my opinion it is from mental exhaustion. Our minds are always thinking about our child (children) or 'it' or how we're going to be, or how are we going to get through 'it'. We can't shut it off unless we learn how to distract ourselves from it.
I made it to the baby christening yesterday. Did fine at the church, but when we went to the hall for the after party one of our nieces came up to me and asked how I was doing. Well, I'm use to people asking that, but the look on her face made the tears start to flow. I was able to regain composure quickly and the rest of the time went okay as I kept myself busy with my two youngest grandchildren (1 & 5). They are definitely a big help with distraction.
Today is a blah day. Just breathing. Can't even figure out what to have for dinner. One hour, one day, just breathe.
Love & comfort to you all.
Ditto to what everyone here has said. I hope I can get on a plane on Thursday. One day at a time.
I don't know if I did this right but the link leads to a really beautiful song someone sent me.
Dick that was a beautiful tribute to Danny. My heart is with you.
Happy Birthday Danny.. u r loved.
Teresa, Am with you, please know that you are not alone. Michelle, Thank you so much for asking. I am having a very rough time.. I try to push it deep down but 23rd dec it will be 2 years and every passing day makes me ache. I have many many conflicting emotions.. new adjustments, new environment , a new role ... I only know I have to keep trying.. that every time a negative emotion rears its head and it can be anything and not just to do with death, I battle it out inside.. just feel very alone sometimes because who can make this go away or who can make it better? its like aching and aching and I think all I want is to see my son and hear him and tell him how much he means to me always and always will.
Happy Birthday Danny, I will always love you.
