Well Pauls, It's Jamies birthday today,and it hurts So muchthat we will never spend another one together again.I've gone bk to grief grps Sunday nite and it helps for a little while.I'll probably bake a cake and take it to my daughters job and say it was for him. but hope they enjoy it for him.Then come home and cry myself to sleep again like every nite.My prayers are still with you Dee

Paula, you've been on my mind and always in my heart,and I hope you areholding on better.I am planning a concert to celebrate Jamies first yr. ann for Sept 5 .Procedes from it will go to C.P.to help other kids with cerabral palsey.His birthday is this mo. 27th. Both dates hurt so much. But I need to try to celebrate his life, to let everyone know his life mattered so much to me and family,I hope you will remember more of what your child ment to this world, and what they left behind in great memories. I hope some of this will help.Dee

Paula, I am so sorry for the loss of your son...there is nothing more traumatic than the loss of a child. Take life one day at a time, one hour, one minute, one second or one breath at a time. Whatever is best for you. There are no guidelines or timetables when grieving as we all grieve differently. Be kind to yourself and take care of yourself as grieving is very difficult and confusing. The first couple of months after my daughter died I felt like I was wading through mud...it just takes time but we just don't know how much time.
Let us know how you are doing. Laura
