Its amazing that you manage to bring the right information at the right time. Our church celebrated Veteran's Day with our Vets here in town. This is the first year that I and my husband both attended. Our daughter (a Navy Vet) was being honored. ...
Thank you for the poem. It was just the pick me up I needed today.
She is a beauty. With eyes like that you will need to stand guard when she gets older!! :) Congratulations as well on the twins.
I state the truth. If it is a good day I tell them I am ok. If I am having a lousey day they get that too. Some people quit asking how I am others continue to ask. The ones that keep asking are the ones who I feel will let me cry on their shoulder...
Each of you have been on my heart this last few days. I just wanted you all to know that you have been in my prayers and I am sending each of you GIANT Cyber hugs {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
That is a cute story. Truely out of the mouths of babes!!
Laura~Would you mind sharing one of your favorite stories with us here?
Benny~while I have not lost a parent I have lost a child. My son was just shy of his 21st birthday when he was killed. Grieving takes time. Don't let anyone tell you any different! I still have days when all I want is a good crying session. Rememb...
Thank you. This is one of my ways of remembering him.
The photos are wonderful...thank you for sharing!
Laura and Jan ~ my heart goes out to both of you. The pain can never be described and only understood by someone who had been there. I will add you both to my prayers that God wil send his mercy and help you during the hard times. For me the harde...
Laura ~ what a beautiful poem. I also love the name of your daughter.

- I was so sorry to hear of both your losses. I do cardmaking and haven't really gotten in the scrapbooking part. I certainly have enough product here to do it. I haven't been able to look back on all the family pictures where Irene is in them. It still hurts to badly. But when I can your idea sounds wonderful. How are you doing today? I hope okay. I just know your son and brother are looking out for you as Irene is me. Some days that helps, others nothing will help. God bless you and thank you for taking the time out to write me

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a Christian and I am the mother of 6 and a grandmother of 11.
- About my Loss:
- My son was killed 16 December 2006. He was a PFC (Private First Class) in the US Army. Due to the nature of his enlistment I will never know all the details of his death. Only through my faith in God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit and my church family have I survived.

I finally pushed myself to go to my in-laws for dinner. It would only be them, us and my brother in law and his wife as well as two nephews. Basically small get together. We were the last to arrive. The house is small with a couch, recliner and a ...
Thanks Gail
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...
Dear Cindy,
Oh my! I guess I don't believe that God causes storms just so we can weather them. That would mean that God created my daughter and then made her die just to see if I could "weather the storm." Perhaps that's the way one pastor explain...
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 peo...
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 wan...
"Hugs Love & Strength to all of you"
Thank you, Diana.
I hear that a lot... "get over it" The people who say this have obviously not gone through what we all have. A death whether sudden or over time is not something you can just get over. It doesn't matter if you knew them 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, or ...
my mom and i are having a hard time with the holidays coming up we are taking dinner to a friends house because she just moved and doesnt know were everything is so we are taking food to them but it wont be the same with out grandma there she has ...
So beautiful
i just lost my grandma who i have lived with for the last year and was really close and i am really missing her its really hard right now because of the holidays coming up
Stephanie, I know how you feel. It's such a sad story. I grew up listening to michael. We were only about a month apart in age. It seems to me he was so troubled and had no one that really understood him. Maybe he has found peace. I certainly woul...
Wishing you all the comfort and support we all will need, May we all cry alot, love alot, and eat little.. :),
Hello. It's just before Thanksgiving. I'm still bent out of shape about Michael. Yesterday was a particularly bad day. I may not be in the right forum for something such as this as I may be less in a grieving place and more in an obsession. I NEVE...

To One In Sorrow
Let 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.
-Grace Noll Crowell

The Glass Table - a book for children who have lost a sibling
In The Glass Table by Leigh K. Cunningham, fourteen year-old Jack Irwin-Hunter hikes to Lake Como after running away from home.

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. Through memories, photographs, anecdotes and, on a higher plane,...When a pet dies...
This is one of the kindest things you may ever see.. It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service. Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so...Headstone funding for low-income families who have lost a baby
Just heard from this very worthwhile foundation and thought it would be helpful to spread the news: "We have a foundation that helps provide low-income families who have a lost a baby with funding for a permanent memorial stone for the gravesite. We have been around since 2003 and have helped 6 families just this year alone in getting headstones for their angel babies. (See www.dempseyburdick.com) We would love it if you would pass on...Badge
