This weekend is full of memories. Yesterday was my husbands first birthday without a phone call from Kyra and today is the first Easter without her physical presence. I have such memories of Easter egg hunts and pretty dresses. We are in Southern CA, visiting my step-son's family. Connie and Adrianna I understand why you live in such a glorious climate. Thank you for your hugs Teresa and Davi enjoy your brother's wedding. Life goes on but at times it's hard to jump aboard. Wish everyone peace this Easter, and Passover week. Love Lynn

Vasanthi, HAPPY EASTER to you as well.

Eva that is beautiful, thank you for sharing it.

Davi, I'm glad you have the wedding as a distraction. Congratulations to the bride and groom.

Anne...Amen.

LR, I am so sorry that you have to go through the court process.  Just know we are here to support you.  HUGS!

Sue, of course you love and miss your son.  No less than the rest of us. HUGS!

Janie & Lynn....Hugs hugs and more hugs.

Jane. thank you!

Dolly, Bern, Dick, Adrianne, Connie, Grace, Ammy, LR, Michelle, Merry and all those not mentioned Happy Easter.  If Easter is not your holiday Happy Spring.

For me I returned to the little piece of crumbled paper handed to me in a parking lot:

John 3:16 "God so love the world that he gave his only son to whomever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Its Easter and I wish love and peace to all here.

Sue , please dont feel guilty about any sense of peace. It could be your son's way of showing you that all is well now.He certainly is in a good and safe place as are all our children.

LR court dates must be so traumatic for you. Hugs and you will get through it with peace. 

Anne , what you write brings so much of soothing peace . Thank you.

Davi, Dylan is firmly entrenched in your heart and is with you.

Dolly , how are you doing? Haven't read anything from you in a while.

Connie , Teresa, Michelle, Toni,Sue, Jane and all here lots of love and prayers your way this Easter.

Dear Davi, here's hoping that tomorrow brings you some peace. When I think about it, everyday I'm still breathing is a first. Things never get easier they just get different. Sometimes it feels like a rock trying to roll up hill.

Comment by Davi Burford on April 19, 2014 at 8:29pm

Because the love between the parent and their child is so great, so is the pain of the loss of that child. You don't get over this, but somehow we find a way to live with it. I too still hurt, and as time goes by I'm realizing more, and more that it doesn't matter if it's a holiday or not. When it hurts it hurts. I fight to survive because of my daughters and the ones who love me. I fight because my family has been through too much without me causing them more harm. There are plenty of days I wish I could give up, but then I feel the boys in my heart telling me to survive. Giving up is way to easy, but to continue on the journey is hard work. It's ok to give up for a day or two. It's ok to take a couple of days off from walking in these shoes. I know I will see my sons again because the Bible tells me so. I've been doing a lot of Bible study because that's the only place I can find the comfort and hope I need to follow through with my journey. I believe in the word of the Lord because when I hit on a scripture that rings my bell, I can feel it in my heart. It took me a long time to get with God because I'd been abandoned by my own clergy. Church has left a really bad taste in my mouth, but studying the word of God has brought me some much needed light and I don't have to kick out any money! My relationship with God is one thing that not even satan can take from me. Sounding a bit crazy, maybe but my heart has never lied to me before so I will follow it to the end of my days. I can't stop the mental anguish or the awful physical pain, but at least I can trust my heart to lead me on. Like all of you I have to fight every day to survive. I still field stupid questions and remarks, and I don't care what anyone says, I feel in my heart that I will one day hold my boys in my arms. There's no proof that I won't. May Peace, and Love be with all of you!

Next week Friday will be another court date for the person who ran over my son. (He was ran over in his own lane while going to a doctor's appt.) We got the letter from the Crime Victim Unit informing us of the date yesterday. It has been a little over 18 months for us since this nightmare began. The various court dates will continue until this August.

Living with someone who is an addict or alcoholic is very difficult on the whole family. I'm sorry you and your son had to go through that and I  know he is at peace now. Hopefully you can build positive loving memories with his children and take the time to tell them the wonderful positive things about their dad to replace some of bad memories that can help them and you heal as well.

I hope everyone has a sunny peaceful Easter. (((  )))

I appreciate everyone's comments and support in letting me rant like a spoiled child who doesn't get to have things their way. As I read the heartache in each post from parents longing for their children, I can't help but face the fact that this is real. My soul weeps. Not only for my loss but for all of you.

Why in my heart cannot I not be happy she was mine? I got to treasure her for 24 years. I got to be there for her wedding and the births of all three of my beautiful granddaughters. Why must my heart dwell in the suffering and misery of loss? Love is supposed to be a blessing...I hurt for her husband...I hurt for her children...

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
