Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and I am sorry that I am so long in responding. I havent been on the computer much. I have been having some medical problems with my seizures and the stress related to everything. I think I was able to handle…
I can understand you hurt and frustration with the kids and how much they close off and how much happens that you don't know. I feel sorry for you. It is hard to handle. That is one area that I am grateful for the relationship that I had with my bab…
Thank you Charlotte. Today has not been a good day (as if any are). I received part of the autopsy report back yesterday. It was worse than what I thought. I just can't believe that there are people out there that claim they were my child's friends…
I too am grieving the loss of my curly-headed son who passed away on Thanksgiving Day from a drug overdose...he was almost 36. There are no words to comfort you but just know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as I am sure so many on t…
Hi Michelle,
I am so sorry for your loss. My son, Hunter was 16 when he passed away on 12-26-09. The circumstances were different but the pain you and I feel are the same. I have so many "what if's, but's, if only's and why's" that float through my…
I am so sorry
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am an epileptic who has had surgery where they removed my left temporal lobe and my hippocampus in 2007. Up to that point I was put out of work because my seizures were so severe that I would lose days on end. At that time my boys were 15 and 14. So rather then me taking care of them they took care of me. I use to teach at our local community college and really enjoyed working with others. At that time my boys would come down to the school and do work and play on the computers.
- About my Loss:
- I lost my 16 year old son in a car accident. I have had a really hard time in dealing with it. There were four teenagers in the vehicle and he was the only one that died in the action. The others in the vehicle were really close with my son and took his lost as their fault because he was unable to get him out of the vehicle. In addition, 20 days before we suffered the loss of my brother to leukemia. While this one was a little to handle it was still very difficult because he and my family was very close
In has been over a year since my lost
First I am sorry to those that I haven't responded to in a while. I have been trying to handle things and seem to be in a dumb founded state. Although I find the feelings and hurt starting to surface. I am starting to feel a hatred towards the girl that allowed him to drive let alone have them in the vehicle. She only had a temporary license and the kids should not have been in the vehicle with her. Then for her to let them all drive her sports car really upset me. After having to go to court for the case she only got a slap on the hand with a $200 fine. She still has her license and now a new sports car. I feel as though there is no remorse from her family for what has happened to my baby or even the other girls that were related to the accident. These were kids that grew up together and attended school all through. I am having a real hard time in realizing that they seem to have no feeling for the lost that has occurred. I have so many of the kids coming to see how I am doing and just see what is happening here. Other than that I am trying to just take it one day at a time and deal with my bad days and my good days. I would like to thank everyone for all the support and help.

Dear Connie: My heart goes out to you. I lost my Daddy May 7, 2010, just 8 weeks after my younger brother died unexpectedly. My Daddy & I also had some bumps in our relationship through the years. He was 84 years old, but I wasn't ready yet. I won't…
It's only been 2 weeks for me so I may not be going about this in the "right" way but if it is just a cashier or waitress or somone I dont know and will probably never see again I just say "Fine.. thank you". because I dont know them and if I try to…
Dear Connie, what you are feeling is typical. you are covered in grief and a million thoughts and emotions are drowning you. You don't know what end is up and total confusion is normal. I was in the same boat, my father passed away March 4 unexpecte…
Hello Everyone, I just found and joined this website earlier tonight in the middle of a bad crying spell that went on most of this afternoon. My father passed away a month ago yesterday from a heart attack. He went into the bedroom to change into…

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
When a friend or family member experiences the death of a loved one, we quickly offer our condolences and help. Listed here are eight practical suggestions for helping a friend or family member that has just suffered a loss. 1. Offer to answer the telephone or answer emails at the family's home.
