Laurie, Jane, it's 23 months for me too. Daniel died The Sat night before Danielle. Last night it rained for the first time what sees like 6 months. It was a drizzly night on Dec. 1 2012. I feel like I want to disappear these days. We are also involved in litigation to try to fx the illegal wall the car crashed into. It's bringing it all up again in the worst way. Good luck with the trial as hard as it is for you. At least this girl will finally have to face the consequences of her actions.
Love to all
Linda, I had found Carol Kearns to be very realistic on everything a grieving parent could face.
Jane, I am in my 24th month...still am struggling hard. Wehave a trial to go through as the girl who ran over my son is charged with homicide by negligent driving. I am exhausted.
My sister-in-law, who meant well, could not understand why I continue to post on a grief forum, she asked, "Doesn't it just keep you sad?" Thought I should "get out more" What crazy ideas people come up with for a grieving parent. I know she just doesn't know. (Never married, no kids, just dogs).
Christmas is coming.
Danielle's most favourite time.
I no longer celebrate any holidays.
I would just cry all day.
Danielle was born on a Sunday.
She passed away on a Sunday.
It is 23 months for me today.
That's a long time for me to live without my child.
I remember when it was 1 day, then 1 week, then 1 month.
I don't know how I have lasted this long.
I never know what to say.
We all hurt so much.
I pray for peace for all of us today, even if it's just for a moment or two.
I hope you receive your moment.
Thank you for all that you share.
xxoo
Thank you for the link Laurie-Jessie's mom. I search daily for peace.
Big hug's to all.
Dick I think it's good your venting. Have you tried to contact the girl? Do you know who she is?
Connie, during the first year everyday I hoped some girl would come knock on my door with a baby in her arms and say, "Guess what...". That child would be so spoiled right now, but no didn't happen. Me and my damn sex education. The one time he listens. Damn him.
When I look back even though Michael and I talked like we did that day all the time something about that phone call made me feel so special as a mom and now it's like we were saying good bye. Looking back it looks like the whole year was a good bye.
Yesterday was a very emotional day for me but it was also comforting. I took steps I needed to and found comfort where I didn't expect it. I'm stumbling down this road but I guess as long as I'm stumbling forward I'm okay.
On pins and needles waiting for the next disaster.
Another interesting thing, Christmas 2006, I felt someone would not be with us. I thought it was my son going into the military. My niece died.
2009, out of the blue I told my brother if he wanted to see his Father alive to come now. Dad died suddenly a week later.
2011 I had this uneasy feeling someone would not make it to my son's wedding. Well it was me dealing with my other son's death. Isn't that the skip, knowing your wedding anniversary is the same as your brothers death.
My whole family has never been the same at Christmas, not a particularly happy time.
