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.
Rod

This is only natural, it is too big to process all at once, which is why they call this time the dark night of the soul. This is not weird what you are feeling, or thinking, your daily thoughts. Oh, if only we could go back in time is the direction I wanted to go in, however, I have found the light in the dark, I think you will to. Keep sharing your feelings, you have to heal in order to heal. Coach Louise

Hello Everyone...it's been awhile since I have posted my thoughts as I have been trying to put some of them into perspective. It has been just over a year since my daughter Angela died and find myself wondering how it is I have not lost my sanity. My grief has been woven into my daily thoughts, my daily living. Everyday I wake up and my first thought is "she's really gone". Or "my daughter is dead". Or "why did she have to die". Or "what really happened that day"....I could go on and on. These thoughts are with me all day long until I fall asleep and then the cycle continues. These "thoughts" do not interfere with my daily life...they are my life. While I function day to day these thoughts are always present, just like the air we breath. They do not consume me but always floating around in my head...I can be carrying on a conversation with someone but somewhere in my head I am very aware of those thoughts/questions but am fully engrossed in the conversation! Like my brain has created this small room within itself to specifically deal with the loss of my daughter. Weird, I know...
Take care, everyone, and know that without this group my grieving process would be a thousand times more difficult to endure.
Warmest Regards,
Laura

Karen -- as Gail said we all need to vent our anger sometimes. For me today is one of those days. I was talking with a friend who innocently said (I hope innocently any way) that I should be getting back to my old self by now. (I was having one of my crying because I miss my son days). I was so astounded I just looked at her and walked off. Then my poor husband catches the wrath when I get home from work and he says I look tired. Boy talk about a bummer day........ well, anyway thanks for letting me rant today. I hope tomorrow will be better. {{{HUGS TO ALL}}}
