I know what you mean Michelle. I can't go to the meetings either. It just breaks my heart over and over and over. That's why I do the newsletter and that is difficult as well. Just like our grief...so goes our healing....in waves. I am glad to know you are all here if I need you and vice versa. It is nice to hear from you anytime. Hugs to all after THAT weekend!

I find it's been difficult to come to this site...even in March when Chris' 3rd anniversary came and went. And now another Mother's Day without my son. I stopped going to Compassionate Friends about a year ago. I just got so tired of death. You're all still in my thoughts, though. I know this is hard...

Dolly, Brandon is so handsome. 

Connie, I get your husband.

Jill I think your right it starts to fell harder and more painful.  For me I think it's feels that way because once I came out of the shock and the disbelief, which took me 3 years, I think facing the reality was even harder.  Now I have to face it and figure out how to live without my Michael.  I have no idea how to do that.

I just want to back in time...do things, see things, feel things, treasure things differently more intensely. I just want to do it again and somehow prevent the end.
How can it be it is getting harder and even more painful. I love you my Joshie, I want one of your hugs so bad. Please take care and watch over your brother. I don't know how I keep going on without you. I love you. WYWH

I know my son was in that court room, watching how much we love him and fight for him still. My husband said it was a chance to still act as a Dad on his behalf. Daniel was smiling I just know it....and saying"Yeah! to the judge.

I understand how you feel Dolly. It's so hard to keep our hearts open. But But I think that's the best way to stay open to messages from them. So I will keep trying.

We had to go back to court to get an extension for the boy who caused the accident that killed my son. He was trying to get off before complying with the conditions. It helps a lot for the parents to be there and my dear husband went, wrote a powerful letter to the judge. And my son's friends saw a disgusting Facebook post he made threatening to run over these Harley Davidson (#*/>x and more expletives) and took a screen shot of it. We attached it to the letter. The judge was appalled that someone who had caused the death of someone else in his car would write what he did. He hasn't learned. How sad. And then he and his family lied again but got caught by the judge and I tell you it was like a tv Judge - she reamed him!!! He didn't walk out of the courtroom so smug after that! Justice was served. it's almost over - he has til May13th, Friday the 13th  to comply! But it's like when you win a war - you're the winner but you are left there with pain and death all over the battlefield.

God help us all.....

Love to you all - you are all courageous, caring people. Thank you for being here.

thank you kind people... I think I'm permanently frozen inside now.. always fearful and withdrawn from everything and everyone ... maybe I'm trying to encapsulate my heart and mind from having to face this horror .. trying not to care so deeply for anyone anymore because the losing is more than I can take.. if I care... but I do care even when I try not to.. so it won't work... nothing works..

I just thought it was kind of beautiful to see the reflections in his glasses. It just kind of pulled at my heart. Seeing reflections of people that care about him in his glasses. Kind of special.
Love to you Dolly.

this picture was taken by his school aide and I think its her in his glasses but I don't know for sure.. we spent some time up on the mountain playing music today and felt close to him... but its never better really... just shoved back down in there somewhere waiting to spil l out again suddenly when I'm not expecting 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
