Thanks Gail

Comment by Gail Richardson 22 hours ago

Karen - I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time today but quite understand how you feel. And yes, we do these 'festive' things for our families and friends but sometimes we need to do something for US the way we feel we want to do it. If that is sitting on your own this year, do it. Last year at Christmas I decided that I wanted to forget the whole day - and I did. I had a sandwich, sitting on the couch watching movies and not celebrating the day at all. That felt good. No pretence, no masks, no empty laughter.
Once these holidays are over we can get a little peace..... until the next one. I'm so sorry you are feeling so sad and hope that Brad will send you a special Angel hug to help you get through the day.
With a big hug from me too xxxx

I set here alone on a holiday I use to enjoy (thanksgiving) I just couldnt find the strength to put on that fake face I needed to to go be with hubbys & my family. They are all caring people I love - I just struggle to be - let alone be around people - the look in their eyes when they look at me is just more than I can take - and the children all seem afraid of me now. (i use to be the fun aunt) So I sent what is left of my family on with out me. at least to the first stop (meal) hubbys family - later I have to see if I can go to my sisters, thought it was going to be a small gathering & now it is 28 - I just dont think I can do it..... just thinking of walkin into those places today & I cant seem to stop my tears from flowing-
How do I go to a family gathering without my Brad---? Yes, I have done this - I struggle so deeply & pretty much shake all day. so why- why do I feel so guilty for not going?
ok- main answer - it is not fair to the family I have left. I just cant seem to find the strength ...........

Hope all of you are feeling stronger than me- but, I am going go ahead & post this just in case anyone else is struggling to this extent today.

Thanksgiving (U.S.)
Thanks to you all for being here. I needed a little quiet time before putting on my "happy holiday face" so I checked the site this morning. The comments by Gail, Katherine, Karen and Wendy were very much appreciated. I too want to remember all that I have to be thankful for...but admittedly this day will be better when it is behind me.
If this is a holiday where you live let me know how you spent your day. I value your input more than from well-wishers who have no idea what we are going through.
Peace, Allan

Wishing you all the comfort and support we all will need, May we all cry alot, love alot, and eat little.. :),

Comment by Gail Richardson on November 24, 2009 at 2:26pm

Wishing everyone peace over the holidays - I know how hard this time of year is for Bereaved parents and hope that you all manage to find a little piece of happiness with family and friends. Of course, there is a huge piece of your 'celebration' missing - I hope you all have the support and love of people who understand how you must be feeling.
Take care everyone and big hugs all round

Gail xx

I Hate & Dread the holidays - Will be so glad when they are over-

Comment by Katherine Ellis on November 23, 2009 at 5:57am

Can Thanksgiving be only days away? I have so much to be thankful for but I find myself saddened that our daughter won't be here again this year to share it with us. Holidays are the hardest for all of us. Everyone walks around all joyous when all I want is to get them over with. A part of me died the day our daughter died. There will always be that empty, lonely place inside me. I am praying for everyone, that you get the love, comfort and support you need as these holiday's pass by us.

About my Loss:
On April 1,2009 me, my mother and 3 daughters were in a horrible auto accident. my mom was driivin she is a good driver. katelyne my 6 year old let her seatbelt up to grap her puppy that jumped outta her lap. my oldest daughter hollared at my mom that katelyne had accktulley let her seat belt lose. my mom looked back for just a seckond to tell them to hook there belts back. as soon as thay did my mother realized she had vered off the road a bit there were no sholders on this road she tryed to get the truck back on the road straight. we ended up flippin several times down a verry steep embankment. my oldest got out to get help she was ok and only sustained minor injerys so did my 3 year old. I broke my back n neck n couldent move to check on katelyne. i woke my mom to check on her she opend her door and seen her half under the car and said she knew she was gone. she then passed out . my oldest daughter stopped a game warden. that imidatlly call air life we all hoped it was for katelyne i was still stuck in the car. the ambulances were for my mom n other two kids air life was for me i was seriousley injured and n the hospital for a month. My husband came and finally told me she didnt make it my world stopped i never got to say bye r see her again i couldent go to her funeral thay thought i was next to die n in a way i wish i had. i miss her so much and do not think i will ever feal the same. part of my hart and soul are gone but i have to be strong for my other two kids and my mother that feal horrible guilt. Even thou it wasnt her fault. i cry in my sleep and everyday i miss her so much. i am healed for the most part i can even walk witch the docters didnt think i could ever do again but i whould rather not if i could just have her back .

No DragBooksNo DragTo One In SorrowLet me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours, can understand.
Let me come in--I would be very still beside you in your grief;
I would not bid you cease your weeping, friend,
Tears bring relief. Let me come in--and hold your hand,
For I have known a sorrow such as yours, And understand.

It’s a unique feeling, when it finally dawns on you that someone who has been a part of your life for such a long time is no longer there. It’s a sickening realisation that stops you in your tracks. In your mind you can visualise the person, smiling, talking, living, but when the vision fades you realise that this is now your only connection to them.
