Dear Laura,
Thanks! I wish I could write all the fluffy stuff I am really no good to anybody and I am sorry. Your daughter is very beautiful and I wish it could be okay for all of us.

Hello, Anne...it will be okay, really. These feelings/emotions will surface when you least expect them. I have come to believe I will feel this way the rest of my life. Most days I'm just okay and then I'm angry, confused, and my heart aches beyond words. I too am angry at God, asking Him why he took my daughter, my only child....the sadness paralyzes me at times. Today was one of those days. I understand when you say your brain wants to heal but your heart is so broke. We are changed forever when a child dies and I still don't know who I am anymore. Words and phrases of comfort do not exist for the depth of our grief. Hang in there....take care and know we are all here for each other. Sincerest regards, Laura

Okay I know all this stuff about grieving and I know we have to go on but I am angry. My brain wants to heal but my heart is so broke that I can hardly face another night of nightmares watching my son burn. I am envious of all of you. I want to feel secure that God will take care of things but I'm angry at him too because I have no one else to be angy with.I dont mean to be a downer but I just cant deny my anger and pain anymore. I thought I had this all under control and I really believed the pain would subside but today I am sad and confused and angry. Today the pain is unbearable. Someone please tell me that it will be okay.

My daughter, Lyndsey died on July 18, 2010 from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident. She was 27 years old and left behind two children. In a blink of an eye, our world was turned upside down. I'm thankful that it was fast and she didn't linger. She wasn't in pain. I'm proud that she was a donor and her gift helped several people start a new life. I'm also thankful for the time we had together. She was my light, my baby girl and my best friend. I have good days and bad. Sometimes I still imagine I hear my phone going off with another text message from her! I ache for her babies and for her two brothers. It's just hard so hard to believe and accept. I have wonderful family and friends who are trying to help... but there's such an emptiness in my heart. Thanks for listening, Marcia

Yvonne,this world has gotten so money hungry, and hurting people dont matter.I pray for our government,and the people it has hurt.Most of all I pray for you,& all moms and dads who have lost part of your life, for God is our healer.

My son Marcus died April 15, 1999. It used to be that the pain would be crippling, now the pain is still there, but tempered at times. It can still come on unexpectedly and linger. You just never know. But, what I do know is that God is with me and cares for me. When President Obama signed the health care reform bill, I cried. I called my children and told them that no one else has to go through what we are going through. For those of you that do not know Marcus was 22 and he knew that something was wrong. Over the course of 2 or 3 months, he went to 3 different emergency rooms where he was turned away because he did not have medical insurance. He collapsed and his friends took him to another hospital where he died in a diabetic coma, not knowing that he had diabetes. I think about how the first 2 years I did not want to live, but thankfully I never sought it. God has blessed me beyound measure since then. In April, as God would have it, I won tickets to the Tom Joyner cruise. I won on April 15th, Marcus's death date. On April 6th, My 80 year old cousin won on Black America Web.com the Real Father's Real Men. I had submitted him back in January. He was given $1000.00 by the Tom Joyner Morning Show. Anyone can nominate a male that they believe exmplifies what a real father, real man is. Never give up!!! Keep praying, trusting God and helping the newly bereaved. I gave the tickets to my son Justin and his wife. They said that they had a ball. This was there first cruise. I had been trying since last year to win and God showed up and showed out. That day is also one of my granddaughters's birthday. Is God not amazing!!!

It's been a while since I have posted here. Welcome to all the new members, sorry you have need to be in this forum. It's been a little over 33 months since our son Chris lost his battle with non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He died the day before his 19th birthday. We miss him everyday, but we also go on with our lives. My wife and I were talking about this earlier today. In the beginning we spend every moment thinking about Chris. Now as we have gone further down the road of gried we don't spend every minute missing Chris, but we spend time everyday thinking about him, and sometimes the memories are plesant and we smile. Other times we think of the hard times when he was sick, and the courage that he showed dealing with his illness. In those times we cry and we allow ourselves to grieve. I hope that all of you find the support you need on this forum.

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
