Thank you for starting this site ! I have a son in the Navy and had joined Navy 4 Moms years ago which is set up very similar, albeit for different type of support. The friends I found there are incredible, and I was amazed that you could really meet people online that are caring and in a similar situation.

This grief train is lonely, and I really thank you for this site.

Diana, don't forget to leave an invite to join Online Grief Support on the "Bereavement Artists" page on Facebook. I think it's much better if it comes from you. I will comment on your post, however, ok? Also, can you email me at nancy@artforyoursake.com?

Hello Diana. I wanted to say thank you so much for your After Death Communication posts. I find a lot of comfort in reading them and I may even share some experiences with the others. Very sorry for your losses.

Good Afternoon Diana,

Your message to my bio made me breathe in a sigh of relief. Its unfortunate the way we are meeting and why... but through our situations... and the uniqueness of them... I believe we can help one another. Not many people understand the painful feeling of abandonment not only from not having a parent or sibling around your whole life... but for having them leave this Earth before you got the chance to meet them and get to know them. I would definently love to chat with you more regarding feelings, healing, clarity and any and everything because I feel that there is a understanding that we can have with one another.  Hope your day is going well... and I look forward to talking to you soon.

Thank you for your reply as I am struggling with weight loss and only have the basics of food as i am on a fixed income so it's hard to get the amount of healthy foods that I need.

 

I did walk 4 days last week but by the time the end of that week came around I was in physical pain so rested for the next 3 days bc of the fibro....I can only do so much and feeling the demands to push myself even more on what society says I should do.

I am the only one who knows how far I can push my body before I am bed bound with pain.

I wish that i could have a personal coach to assist me to really see my problems first hand instead of others just saying , oh get on with life and quit whinning..!

i lost my mom on may 14, 2010. it was a murder suicide. the guy that killed her was her ex that was with her for about 9 years. he cheated on her and so she decided to leave him and move on with her life about a couple of months later she found a guy and she was really happy the guy treated her the way she deserved to be treated he brought her flowers he even brought me flowers too lol. he pampered her she was finally happy and the guy got so jealous because he saw she was moving on with her life and started stalking her and one day he went to her appartment and asked her to marry him and when she said no he shot her 4 times and shot himself in the head.
she died 11 days before my 21st birthday and cremated on my birthday. i went to puerto rico where she was buried but no body wanted to take me to the cementary to visit her and it hurt so bad be cause what if no one goes to visit her toeven bother putting flowers on her grave im scared everyone is going to forget her and forget how special she was and still is for me

Thanks for the comment a while ago. I must admit that I'm struggling somewhat at the moment. Some information that I'd previously been led to believe now may not be true. The addition of five years to what I'd believed to be a three year battle with cancer jars me like nothing else.

As I begin to explore my experience (w/ ur help!) I seem to understand why my mom would want to comfort me. When she was very ill, she demanded that I do not come see her. She expressed that no matter where she was going she could never forgive herself if something happened to my baby (I was 6 months pregnant). Through my hardship I know that my mom gave me strength because I almost died as well as my daughter (I will expalin in the near future, they are unbelieveable in itself). I feel as if my mom protected us, b/c my Dr. 's explained that they felt as if I would never make it out of the OR as well as after my series of complications. Perhaps my mom is with my family and I simply because she could not be here to comfort me. In addition I think that her hands were tied b/c of being sick for so many years. My theory of my mom not wanting me to see her, correlates to her being able to be here now.

What a beautiful gift my mother has given me. Thank you again, for your response to my posts. Your insight has brought me such peace.

Best,
Sammie

Thank you so much for your support as well as including your personal experiences. How many ways we are so blessed. I will continue to imbrace my experiences and cherish each one. I wonder what might happen in the days to come since it is so close to my mom's passing?

I have a question the little pull on the blanket represents what in your viewpoint? Do you feel as if our family members want us to know that they are OK? And or ease our pain somewhat?

Best,
Sammie

Good morning Diana,

Thank you! As a matter of fact when I discussed an experience with my son (that he had, pertaining to my mom) he expressed feeling silly to expalin his theory in regards to my mom. I understand b/c it is sometimes hard to believe until someone like you validates it.

Lst. night I layed down with my gir's (Mickalena & Jiannia) I felt a strong presence of my mom, I tried to discard it until I was sure. I felt it again, that is when I accepted it. As the night progressed I felt a little pull on my blanket, about a second later it happened again, I looked around the room and fell back asleep. A few minutes later it happened again. I find the fact that I was sleeping with my mom's blanket a distinct correlation, plus the fact that I feel that she is around my children, since she was so sick for many years and could not be the grandmother that she wished.

Have a wonderful day & thank you so much for responding to my post! In your experience do you feel as if these are definite signs of my mom?

I have to tell you that when my grandmother passed (my mom's mom) I was at my mom's house when I smelled daisey's (in the winter) I asked my mom if she rec'ed flowers from my dad, she replied "No". She then she told me, "That was grandma's favorite flower!" I have been blessed to have all these experiences in my life inc. one with a higher power. One could think of these as by chance . However, I am so fortunate.

Warm wishes,
Sammie

Hello again,

My daughter came to me one morning explaining to me, "Mommy we have to plant white flowers!" I was confused as to why white? she replied, "Because grandma told me". I proceeded to ask my dad, he replied, "That was moms favorite flower". I was not aware that white was her favorite, I knew red were. My son has had a experience right after her passing where she touched his hair. He was my moms favorite and she adored him beyond words. I have four children my son is 7 and my daughter is 5. My younger daughter Jiannia, (she is three) has expressed that she has been kissed by my mom on her forehead. I did not discuss any of my experiences nor do we talk about these type of experiences with my children. Therefore this came right from their own perception and or experiences, without any influences.

Another experience was when my daughter arrived home for the first night. She had to wear a hat b/c she had to keep warm (she is a preemie). The next moring I found her hat at the end of her crib. I knew that she did not move nor did I or anyone else touch her during the night. However, I am Italian and we always put hats on our little ones. If my daughter Bella had her hat covering a little part of her eye under her hat my mom would have moved it, possibly in fear that it would go over here whole face. My mom was very over protective of me and I could understand this experience just as if she was right in front of me.

I have more perhaps you can give me some feedback?

Have a wonderful day!

Best,
Sammie

OK, on the night my mom passed, (after I received the phone call) my power went out as I looked out the window across the corn field the whole sky, just behind the trees as well as the front of the corn field (not in the sky, kind of like a v) lite up like a light that I have never seen in that area and have never seen since. However, I have seen this bright light in two other experiences before my mom passed. I discussed this with the nurse that was with my mom, I asked, "What time was my mom taken from the house?" She told me, "About 3-4 AM". This was the time I saw the light. Another experience was when I was in the hospital, a gentleman came to deliver a gift from a friend. My dad was there and for some reason the gentleman returned, with a blanket. He expressed that it would be beautiful for my daughter and he picked a purple, blue, and white blanket as compaired the the neutral blanket. I asked him where he got the blanket, he told me that volunteers had made it. I was asking these questions b/c my mom had the SAME exact blanket as it was given to her in the hospital 2 months earlier almost to the day. My dad had given me that particular blanket for when my daughter arrived home, that blanket was in my linen closet. I asked if there was any chance that the same yarn could have been used in two different states in two different hospital's. He replied, "oh no dear!" I must have turned white as I looked back at my dad, he did the same.

I am not sure how many characters this post can hold, therefore I will continue on an additional post.

Best,
Sammie

Hi Diana, Thank you for becoming a new friend here! I am so sorry about your brother. It was like a double loss, how awful that must have been.
I'm just plugging along each day, putting one foot in front of the other, waiting for time to pass. It's a struggle, but as you know, we HAVE to go through it, there's no other way. It sucks! I try as hard as possible to stay positive. My family and friends are wonderful, but they don't really get it. I just feel the need to talk and talk about Damon and what this devastation feels like. I want him back SO badly - I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes.
Well, here I go getting all bummed out again! I hope you are doing well and I wish you a wonderful day, Diana!
Thanks for contacting me! Monica

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
