Dear Mary....I am sorry that you have to go through this kindof pain. I certainly understand how you feel. I still have days when all I do is think and cry, and then cry some more. Some days are worse than others. BUt, I can say that for the most part, no day is as bad as in the beginning. It will get easier for you as time goes on. I know that does not seem like a possibility right now. I did not think so either when I was told that when I first started out on this long and rough grief journey. Just try to take one day, and sometimes one hour or one minute at a time and try to stop in here and pour out your feelings. That is what we are here for. To listen when no one else seems to care or understand. We do understand, and we do care.

Wishing you peace and gentle healing.

Love and hugs....Rean

Dear Mary...I know exactly what you mean. Losing a child is the hardest thing anyone will ever have to go through. Sometimes we wonder if it's even worthwhile getting up in the morning, because it feels like there is nothing there for us. However, there's other family members such as children, husband, parents, relatives who are concerned about your well-being, and they are the ones who motivate you into getting up, getting dressed, and getting out. It will be 4 years in October that we lost Andy and I still have days where I feel like I don't want to get up, or I'll burst into tears when I think of what he'd be doing today if he were here, and I'm sure there are other members here that feel the same way about the child/children they've lost. This is why we understand and this is why we care so much. As Rean has said, it does get better as time goes on. You will never forget Michael, and you will have bouts of saddeness where tears will still be shed, but you will move on because that's what Michael would want you to do. NEVER FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ALONE! It's a long, rough road to travel and it's always good to have friends walk with you from time-to-time.
