Karima,

I cant really say welcome but yes , all of us here are there for each other and not for one moment did any of us even think of religion, race, caste etc.. though everyone has the right to draw strength from their belief system and we always support that... The 'medium' debate seems to have triggered something in you which made you assume that views are somehow being thrust on  others? That isn't so, we all just share whatever is foremost in our minds andget the help and understanding which we get from no other. Also if it appears that tempers run high sometime we treat it as a very natural part of being so raw inside. Everyone understands these minor flareups and we love each other more for being so human.. I am sorry , really sorry that your eldest son isn't here, please do feel free to share whatever you are going through and we are here for you.

Everyone.. just checking in to see how everyone is.. love to all.. we got back at 1 am last nite and am still kind of unwinding back home.Craig's family was very nice and warm, and I felt the inclusion immediately.. so my fears have been put to rest.. IKts December and I am flinching with each passing day:(

The second Thanksgiving without Jimmy has come & gone. I miss him, his siblings, other family & friends miss him yet we all carry on with our lives. As a mother who has buried a child I feel an obligation to keep my first born child's, Jimmy's, memory alive. It comforts me whenever I get a call, see a friend of his or Facebook post remembering him & celebrating his all too brief life. Grieving has gotten easier in so far as I'm able to focus on work & other daily activities, I'm able to fall asleep & wakeup in the morning without having the thought "Jimmys dead, how do I get through the day? How do I go on living?" The first year & a half I was mearly going through the motions but now I'm finally starting to think about & consider my life without Jimmy. There's a fine line there but as cliche as it sounds, Jimmy would want me to carry on & smile once in a while. He loved his little sister & brother deeply & they deserve happiness in their lives. I'm relieved it's gotten a bit easier but as it gets easier I remind myself to not let his memory fade from his siblings & others thoughts. It is my responsibility to honor Jimmy & keep his memory alive. As time goes on I'll find new, different ways to do that.
I wish you all peace & some level of happiness.

Another Thanksgiving gone by.  It still hurts.  Time in some ways has helped heal my heart but there are some days when it still shatters into pieces again. Missing my son today and everyday.  Sending hugs to you all.

Karima I am so sorry for the loss of your eldest son.  Losing a child turns your world upside down.  I often don't know who I am anymore.  Its only been 3 1/2 months for me and the pain feels so intense everyday.  We are here to support each other with love and understanding.  We all our in different places in the grief journey, and travel different spiritual paths, but we are all mothers who have lost our precious children, that is what bonds us here.  Love and hugs to you and all of us on this site.

I'm open to anything anyone wants to share regardless of their belief system.  No of us were given a handbook on how to do this.  We all have to do what is right for us, even if it isn't right for someone else.

Karima, it saddens me to welcome you to the group.

Lynn I love to garden too. It is like therapy for me.

Karima, I would like to welcome you here. I am so sorry for your loss. I also wish I had the answer to take our pain away. I agree with what you said, especially about no one having the right to judge or criticize your belief system.

Just saying hello to everyone and sending my love.

Lynn maybe you could share your recipe with US... sort of in her honor... I so often feel the urge to have someplace to put all this special stuff down and share it with others... but no clue how or where...

Good luck with the hockey fundraiser Teresa.  Connie I am so sorry to hear about your best friends health issues.  You must be so stressed with everything else going on this weekend.  Dolly like you most days I feel nuts. Dawn and Anne sending hugs.  We will all find our way.
