Dear Joan, I  met the man who hit my daughters car and killed my son. I found that seeing him face to face was the only way I could put some of the pieces together. I asked him why. I asked him what the heck was he thinking. I looked him square in the eye because I needed to know what  happened and why he wasn't paying attention to his driving. It was a very hard thing to do but i'm glad I did it. Sometimes the unknown is worse than reality. I hope you get the chance to find some truth of what hahppened to your child.

My daughter died on August 7,2010 as a result of injuries from being hit by a car two days prior. According to witness reports the driver aimed his car and hit her going 45 mph. He still has not served a single day in jail and will not appear before a judge until August 4,2011 almost exactly one year after he hit her. Not only has he not spent any time in jail he is also still a lisenced driver. I need to know why he did this and the fact that I may never know makes this even harder to deal with.

“You can shed tears that he is gone,

or you can smile because he has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,

or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,

or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him only that he is gone,

or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind,

be empty and turn your back.

Or you can do what he'd want:

smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

Greetings Theresa, i am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, I have not lost a husband but I did lose my son due to a motorcycle. It's good to hear that you are approaching a point to "move on". I do not know if i will ever get to that point. There are no rules for grieving and no time limits. Thank goodness that you have such great friends and hopefully you will maintain friendships with other members of this site. Happy healing!

Next week will be 6 months since my husband died by motorcycle accident, I haven't been in a bereavement support group because of lack of communication (deaf). I learn everything all by myself, How I just took a step to say "Listen you can't go on forever to hide in the closet" I decide to move on which isn't easy for me, I really have a great friends who check on me everyday and kept me busy during week and weekend. I am so luck to have a great friends. There one thing is bothering me is I still have his things and equipments. His equipments need to be sell I can not give away because is very expensive stuff, so this will be hard on me for long while until I get rid of it. I don't know how long but I want to move on my life.

Is funny I went to the Barnes & Nobles store look for a America Sign Language for my son who want to bring to Iraq to teach their troops. I got the book, start walking by Physiologic and saw a book regarding about Widow with lots of different story of individual experiment. I took one of book out is call Widow to Widow by Genevieve Davis Ginsburg M.S. Her comment " A wise practical, and eminently useful guide for a woman struggling to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. Highly recommended" OMG when I start reading this, this is what I am going through. I read this slowly, repeating and thought of myself that I will be alright.

Greetings Terri.........I am so sorry that you have joined our sad club......truly sorry. This life can be so cruel! I lost my 21yr old son 16 months ago while he was riding his friend's motorcycle. He turned 23 on Feb 19th, we had his 2nd birthday celebration on that day, it was a Saturday. I am sorry that I do not have any comforting words to offer.....except,...we can all lean on each other with help from sites like this. My pain and my sadness has not lessoned one bit, it has only intensified. There are only 2 things that could help me, one is that I suddenly awake from this nightmare and realize that it NEVER happened or two.......simply give me my son back!! My heart will forever be broken.

Hi Anne, thank you for your wonderful comments. Yes, my son was a very impressive man. He had an accident n 1992 in which his car, a firebird, was split in half. He was the driver and there were 3 other people in the car. When the accident happened it went airborn and hit a tree in the drivers door. The car had a t frame, and tere was nothing to protect his legs. He lost both feet and the middle finger on his left hand. He was taken to a trauma center and his legs were trimmed and cleaned. For about 4 days they didn't close his legs, and still he still had his left knee. After 4 days they found gangreen in the left knee and decided to remove it above the knee. He still had his right knee. They went in and closed his legs. The hospital had told us he would be there for 2 months. It was 2 weeks when he left. In the rehab they said he would be there 1 month. 1 week later he was totally independent.

Dear Peggy,

I am so sorry for your loss. Your comment about your son has lifted me up. He must've been quite the wonderful man. I am so happy you have such great memories. I would love it if you could share some more about Shawn. Thinking of you always.

This is my son Shawn who passed last April of a massive coronary. In the picture he was 25 and lived by himself in his apartment.  He loved snakes. The one he is holding is named Smith. He had another one named Wesson. He had a sign made tha said;  THIS HOME IS GUARDED BY SMITH AND WESSON.  People loved his sense of humor.  He was very independant and didn't want any help unless necessary. I miss you Shawn and love you with all my heart.              Mom
