Hi Jan,
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I too believe the bond between mother and daughter is so special it cannot be described. My 33 year old daughter was killed in an ATV accident on May 25 of this year~she was my only child~ and I too am devastated. There are also no words to describe the pain I feel everyday. I no longer cry everyday but I feel so confused and alone. So many people expect me to "be over" her death by now. Needless to say I avoid contact with these people. I come here to share and learn how others deal with grief, to get support and give support. I love my daughter so much and miss her even more...

Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Laura

hello everone. im new here. im jan. i lost my daughter on 24 April last year (2008). she had Cerebral Palsy. she and i fought for her life continually. we bonded more than imaginable. we had endless times "living" in hospitals. but we had even more times loving life, loving each other, laughing. at 12 years old, she just couldnt anymore. i just wanted to say hi, and meet with people who might be going through similar pain. i am devastated. but i have to be super strong as i have another 3 children, aged 6, 9, and 11, who are traumatised and needy. i want to cry all the time. anyone i can talk to? thank you so much, jan

Gail and Ann,

Thank you for your heartfelt comments. I have written so many poems these last couple of months~it helps to cope with the pain and confusion of her death. Hope you are doing okay and finding just a bit more peace in your heart with each passing day.

Laura ~ what a beautiful poem. I also love the name of your daughter.

Laura - sending you a million hugs and hoping that today will pass more brightly. Sadly, there will be many moments like these - especially during the first year. Whilst we 'think' we are over the worst - our heart and mind can tell us quite the opposite. I'm just on my way out to work but will drop by here later. xx

Three Months

Damn it, damn it, damn it to hell, I was doing okay, feeling pretty swell.
Looked at the date, August twenty fourth; no special meaning that I could tell.

Why am I feeling so utterly sad, not all that good, just a little bad.
No missed appointments, no special occasion, perhaps a meeting with my dad?

No that's tomorrow, Tuesday he said, so why am I feeling all this sorrow?
Is there something to return, something I kept, but only meant to borrow?

Got on with my day, lots to do, that's when it hit me, it's all about you.
My baby, my child, my little girl, three months tomorrow, don't know what to do...

From this earth you have taken your leave; I still find this really hard to believe.
When you were alive I knew what to do but now all I know is how to grieve.

A piece of my heart is gone forever but my love for you will leave me never.
From womb to the grave was only 33 years but life with you was joyous endeavor!




**Though Angela was 33 years of age when she died, she will ALWAYS be my baby. The imprint on my heart is that of a smiling, laughing child, making her way through life helping others. I will say it over and over...like all of us she was not perfect but she was the perfect daughter! Rest in peace my little one...watch over us as you have always done.

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone & send you all Love...
I haven't been to the site in quite a while- I am just really struggling & don't feel like I am helpful to you. But, think of all of you everyday!
(((Much Love and Hugs)))

Today is Chris' funeral. It's like losing a son. You might as well say he was our adopted son. Feels like my heart is being pulled out from my chest. Now I have lost 2 children. I should be able to handle this, no how to handle this. I've been through it before. Why do we keep going when it seems we just keep getting slapped in the face over and over again? I miss him so much. why at 24 did he have to die? He had so much to live for. I had so much more love to give. His parents didn't want him but we did. He had been living with us for years now. So many whys but we all know that there are no answers. That hurts too. How do I get through today? I love you my son and I'll miss you.

Katherine -- do you have the oiriginalk bottles that the medication came? If you do this will help prove your case. Also, a letter rom your husbands doctor or even better if he/she would agree to testify at your court date. In either case know that you will be in my prayers.

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
