Thinking of you David.  Pleased to read you all made it through Mother's day.  Holidays are always hard, but right now I know that every day is hard to get through.

Silke B, try not to feel guilty.  We really aren't in control of our emotions.  Especially in the beginning.  I still snap at my husband some days for no reason.  Just thankful that he doesn't take it personally anymore.  

I sometimes think about birth and death and how before it was a normal thing.  We all know that we are born and someday die, but now I feel like I've been born again into a different life and have to learn how to live all over again.  This is definitely a much harder one than the first, but day by day we somehow manage to keep going.

I hope your days become a little kinder, gentler, and bring you some peace.  Hugs.

Just reflecting on the loss of my Carli. The happiest day for me in her life was holding her the day she entered this world. The saddest day in her life for me was holding her the day she left this world...I miss you my Carli

My wife loved the card and little gift I gave her from Carli. I kept the message simple just as I knew Carli would write it. We all cried together then went to church, which is still hard for me. Carli played the violin in the choir, and her chair is empty with a single flower on it. It still feels so strange to go anywhere and she is missing. I still find myself wanting to buy her things. How I miss my Carli...

Love to all here this is such a hard day to get through every year. Our love for our children is forever. I pray we will see them again and never be asked to part again.

we lost Brandon the thursday before mother's day in 2013 so Mother's Day from that point on has been a time of a sort of shock... but we just get through the day and the month best we can... what else can we do?

I just wanted to say that all of you are in my heart every single day.  I know you truly "get it".  Nothing can ever stop us from being moms and dads.  Our children are more alive than ever and in unimaginable joy.   David, you have been on my mind since I read your first post.  All of us here know that you are in the greatest pain of your life.  In the darkest times remember that there is no doubt that you will see Carli again.  Love to you all.

~ Love and miss you with all my heart, pretty girl ❤️

David I am so sorry you have to be in this group. It must have been awful for you to find your daughter. I know you are traumatized and in shock. You can say whatever you need to here without judgement. I lost mu son - my only child - in a tragic car accident at age 17. It has been 4 and half years. Some days it feels like yesterday. Some days I can move through without being paralyzed with pain. You too will find your way through. You will find that although the pain never leaves, it lessens some days and you find ways to deal with it better. But right now  I know it is so hard to even know how to get through the day. Have faith that your daughter's pain here on earth is done. Yours may be just beginning but you will be with her again someday. Her spirit lives on. Love never dies. And the bigger the love, the greater the pain. That is why we need each other here. Because no one can know unless they've lived it. It is impossible. This group has gotten me through many countless lonely and despairing days and nights.

And for the moms here, new and those I've now known for years now, I know you are the very best Moms in the world. You are strong and wise. You have fought to keep your child's memory alive and you have learned to give to and help others. You are the most awesome Moms and I am sending you all love and prayers on another difficult day to get through. Thank you for being such a great support and all we can do now is be grateful that we had the greatest joy of having our children in our lives. I try each day to remember my son's words when my husband's best friend passed. My son Daniel was 12 at the time, wise beyond his years, and he wrote "Those who have passed do not wish to be mourned. They wish to be celebrated." From the mouths of babes..... How prophetic that sentence has been in our lives. Although so hard, my husband and I strive to do just what he said he wanted. Celebrate their lives however you can. Ignore insensitive people who know nothing of our pain and focus on finding those who can help you through it. Who can share stories of your child. Who can just listen. I am so grateful for all of you. Hugs

I am posting to share to you knew to this so called club that.....I am still breathing 8 years later.... Grief still lives but time softens the pain.....I still cry.... But I can push through to another day.  Life is different. It always will be. But you will breathe through some days and rejoice on other days..... Hope... I remember how I read your posts every day....and having a group to pour our sadness helps......that is why I am posting today.....so you know I am climbing this mountain..... And I want to encourage you all that you will too.....but it is the tallest mountain anyone will ever climb....and some days you need to set up camp and rest there before you can climb to the next levels....
