I am having such a hard time with the loss of my son. He would be a senior this year and I should be getting him ready for his graduation. It is not fair and I will never understand why our babies get taken from us so young. My son was in the hospital in ICU for 16 days before we lost him. They ran so many test on him, but the only thing he ever tested positive for was mono. It attacked his brain and caused him to start having seizures. They were not able to stop the seizures or stop his brain from swelling. They said his was only the 3rd case in the US of mono doing this. Why? It will never make sense to me.

They have been keeping us very busy. I only wish they didn't live 3,000 miles away. Eva it has been eight months since my daughter died, all of us have felt that life is not worth living after the loss of our children. The way you are feeling is normal and it is good to let those dreaded thoughts out. Just know you will make it through the next few months, it will be the worst physical and emotional pain you will ever go through. Some one will always be here to support you. During periods when I am feeling able to handle the situation I don't always comment but I do visit the site everyday. Much love to everyone here, my life would be less without you all.

I am so sorry to have to welcome new bereaved mothers to this group. We all never thought this would happen to our family,but it did and we are now on this unbearable journey. I am in LA visiting my step-son's family. The three year old twin boys have allowed me to realize that life does move on and we can allow love in again. One of the twins looks so much like Kyra did at that age.

We miss our children. So much.

I am so lost and empty without my child.

I go through the motions of life.

But I'm not living.

Praying for everyone of you today.

I ask God to give us some peace on this blessed weekend.

There's not a selfish bone in your body.

I'm right behind you, 17 months.

And it's not getting any easier.

Be kind to yourself, do something nice for yourself,

Something Michael would like to see you do.

xxoo

I'm sorry for being selfish it is 19 months this week and I'm having a little bit of a difficult week. 

I hope everyone can find some peace this weekend.

I'm so sad that we have two new members. We all know how horrific the journey is. We are all willing to listen. To help if we can. Mostly this has been a place to share the grief. Lately my grief has felt more like extreme fear. Every time I think about my son or see a picture of him I am feeling fear and extrem pain. How can this be? Will I ever really see him again? Will I matter to him? What could I have done to change the outcome? God please be with us.

So in spite of me trying to ignore the pain.... Niles Birthday was today.... I posted earlier that he would have been 18... I was wrong...He would have been 19!  How could I miss a year?!  I posted his picture on facebook... was frustrated because there are so many snap shots of him in my mind but I have trouble finding them on the computer to post.   My daughter found my favorite Birthday photo and posted it... and his Heart recipient also posted a photo....  then I posted Jin Croce song  Photographs and Memories  Youtube song....  Photographs and Memories.... these are all I have  to remember you.... there will be no more birthday pictures.... picnic pictures.... only the pictures I have...no more new ones..... and I cherish all of the photographs and memories.... and I cry in spite of my trying to hold it together after 5 years.....  Thank You all who have said your birthday greetings.... I have had friends that have called...my daughter, and my husband.... but none of my siblings....  sad....Some people don't think it is important to remember he was here and existed?   But even though I cry,,,, I cherish those photographs and memories.....

My miserable head hurts so much today. I want someone to come over and stomp on it.

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
