- Hi Christy-
We lost our baby boy, too. We worked so hard to keep him healthy, to overcome the challenges of his prematurity, only to lose him when we thought we were winning.
At times my mind is split in two. One of me acknowledges the truth of the present and knows with certainty that we did everything that could be done. And that God has a purpose and a plan that included Kai in heaven. The other of me lives in the past, constantly trying to rewrite our story, to solve the medical conundrums, to correct the "mistakes" so that Kai is still with us, alive and thriving. The first is the truth; the second is a lie. The first is God's will; the second is nothing but worldly temptations, where I desire control our path.
When Kai was with us, I was firmly rooted in the present, the truth. With him in heaven, I find it harder to remain disciplined in spirit, mind and body. I know with God, all things are possible. He lifts our burdens. He illuminates our path. And I chose not to imagine the grief without the firm knowledge that, through Jesus Christ, I will see my son again. But at times, the second of me wants this to be hard, dark and final. My beautiful baby boy died; my heart is broken; I don’t want for a second for anyone to think this is easy. But the first of me knows that my load is lifted, my path is lighter and my heart is healing.
Glory be to God for every day of our little boys life. We are so blessed. We trust that some how, some way, that our Father will bring more children into our home.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful son with us.

My brother died March 9, 2010. He was a big NASCAR fan. One Sunday a few weeks after he died, I was in bed and had been dozing off and on. The TV was on a channel that plays "whodunit" shows all day. I got up and went in to my office for a little wh…

I am creating this site for the many of us who have suffered several losses. I lost my mom, dad, grandma(2nd mom), grandpa, my beloved dog and divorce.
Many of us have lost more than one person or event.

To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.
-Grace Noll Crowell

The Gift That Freed Me To Give
A significant lesson for me has been understanding and accepting that our greatest gains often come through experiences in our lives that may be extremely painful. My father, Raphel Orval Beason, died less than four months before I was born at the age of 19 in an explosion at the Port Chicago U.S. Navy arsenal near Oakland, Calif. He was among 320 men killed on July 17, 1944, when two merchant ships blew next to...The loss of a son
Mother's Day will always be the anniversary of my son's death, no matter what date it falls on. May 9, 2010, the day I lost a piece of my heart. I have vivid memories of that day but they are brief glimpses only. He called that morning to tell me Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you! I remember being 250 miles away from my home, my other child and my family. I don't know...Try tapping, it works wonders...
I don't often recommend specific methods to help with grief. But the self-help method I'm going to tell you about - EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques - is well worth making an exception for. Basically, it involves tapping on the acupuncture points to tap into your body's own energy and healing power. If you think that sounds a little far-fetched and woo-woo, so did I. In fact, I starting doing EFT on myself for chronic...Daughter of Suicide
It has been 22 and a half years since my mother’s suicide in October 1987. I look at that number – 22 – and it startles me. It’s hard to believe that I have lived more of my life without my mother, than with her. During those first 10 years after her death I carried the heavy load of her suicide every waking moment. I struggled with my own depression and feelings of abandonment and...8 practical ways to help a grieving family
