We have no choice... We have to. One day at a time. It's all we can do for now. Time will not heal our broken hearts. Hopefully it will soften it tho.

Sharon, yes! Time has not been my friend at all....it is just as hard, maybe more, than the beginning. Omg, who can survive this??

I'm right behind you RJ. Troy will be gone 5 months on July 8th, my birthday. Pain is still here for us, the missing is even stronger isn't it? I feel like I'm always searching for something that is not there.
I am so sorry that you are without your son Larry. I hope it gets better for us. I still feel so dead.
Hugs to you RJ.

thanks for the tip about the Guideposts prayer section... I will look into that.. its been a long time since I read a Guideposts.. I used to love the articles and they had a magazine called Angels for awhile.. I still have some copies but I don't know if I can read the print.. I'm going to look them up..

Connie, know what you mean about the physically ill part (with facing the trial)...I don't want to think about the trial yet...it will be in Sept...another small court date will be in August...you are about the same time line as me I think...

...good for you on completing the song, as the words and music are crafted in great love...

For me, I am practicing a spirituality as a one-on-one thing with God; and I do not need to have a formal church setting to practice what I know to be true...so that is what I have been doing...my mom does the same...with a small area in her home dedicated to prayer and personal meditation....(she too has lost two children, my sister at age 42)

...if I need prayer, Guideposts online has a very nice section to submit prayer needs...

Wishing everyone a gentle day...

Laurie I am thinking of you as your legal struggle continues. I understand and applaud your tenacity. We have to be our children's champions. If not us, who will? Our trial date is set for August 8. I never thought it would go this far. They need to do the right thing. There's is still time for them to settle but time is running out. The thought of that trial makes me physically ill. I finished my song for my son and I think it turned out well. It is positive and is about the messages I have gotten from him. I will share it when I can.

Lynn I hope Sunday was OK for you. I understand that putting Kyra in the ground was so difficult for you. I hope the family was able to achieve some healing <3 <3

Love and hugs to all of you here. I appreciate your support and friendship.

thank you too... I feel myself winding down ever since I was thrown out of that church... and I think I am getting a better perspective of my own feelings.. I have to stop worrying about what PEOPLE think of me and be satisfied to know that God loves me and is always my ally no matter even if I make a mistake.. when I get away from that hateful persecution by people, I can see myself better.. not through their eyes.. they have their own hurts and problems and are dealing with things I have no clue about, so I have to stop taking everything so personally I guess... or at least let it go... and accept the fact that a person like me who feels compelled to stand up and say something when they think something is wrong or someone is being hurt or abused has to get used to being unpopular and attacked and abused themselves... Jesus sure was.... not that I am comparing myself to Jesus... just that my being attacked is par for the course for anyone sticking their neck out for themselves, or anyone else I guess.. having had to fight so many battles for my kids has sort of gotten me into attack mode or retaliation mode I think.... hard to get out of 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
