Sharon,  I will keep your children in My prayers.
I lost you email address and didnt get a chance to respond to your last email.
Will you please please send it to me again???
You know how the ole grief brain works,  cant remember shit, lol.
I know your heart is breaking for sweet little Shannon but the grief she is going thru is so so good.
My daughter who is 13 pretended for  3 out of the last 3 1/2 yrs that Gino was on vacation.
On his third anniversary in Oct there was NO denying it for her anymore and the floodgates came rushing open.
She was recently diagnoses with Post traumatic stress disorder, Delayed grief syndrome and Deep depression.
She has been placed on meds and doing so much better.
Sharon, Let her know its ok to cry, let her know its ok that you cry.
My kids were so careful not to upset the apple cart.
They would avoid any feelings for fear they would make me sadder.
We both know thats impossible but to a child it made sense.
My daughter is finally expressing the emotions she has kept so deep inside of her and I pray she heals soon too.
You and your whole family are in my prayers.
 
Dont forget about the Moms groups I told you about.
They saved my life.
All of these women are or have gone thru all of the things you are going thru and who better to understand you then someone who walks in your shoes....
Email me please, I wont lose it or delete it this time,
 
Love and Hugs Karen

Hi Sharon,
You and your children are in my prayers also.  Your situation is almost idenical to mine.  I lost my 19 yr. old son, his sister , Robin, was about Shannons age and I had another son, a couple yrs. older than Robin.
 
Both my kids took it so hard, as to be expected.  I was a mess and I didn't even send my kids to school for 2 weeks!  My daughters teacher finally came to visit us.  She brought with her this giant card that all the class mates made for my daughter.  They all wrote a small message and signed their names.  It helped my daughter SO MUCH to know that her friends were thinking of her and missing her and caring about her.
 
I used to take my kids to little things that dealt with grief issues.  Like for example we went to this one thing where they got to make a Christmas ordament for their brother.......they decorated it and wrote a little message on it for him and every Christmas we hang these ordaments in a special place on the Christmas tree.
 
There was a counsler at her school that helped her.  Any time she felt sad she could go to this counsler and talk. Make sure you talk to Shannons school about this.  Crying spells can happen so sudden at school and little kids get embarassed about it sometimes.
 
Most important I kept talking to my kids....letting them know that it's okay to be very sad and as the days go by it will get a tiny bit better and better until we could think about their brother without being so sad.  This was important for them to know it would get better.
 
We would remember happy/fun times we had and talk about those times every day, that seemed to help a little bit.
 
I truly pray that Shannon feels better soon.  Grief is so powerful.
 
You make sure you get help for yourself too Sharon.  The one important thing that made me keep going through all the sadness of my heart being broke was the fact that I had those two other kids!
luv,
sue

I join in this prayer for Shannon and all children and loved ones suffering the lonliness of a great loss. In your infinite wisdom lord help them to heal and know there is light at the end of all this pain. Amen
 
Such powerful words from all of you..that we be allowed to cry..to know it's alright and completely normal to mourn is so very important for all concerned but especially the little ones.
 
Let us know how she's doing Sharon and how you are doing..please reach out to your community and school..I'm sure they are set up to help.
 
God Bless you & yours,
Sha
