Its still hard for me to sleep at night. My doctor gave me "something" to help me sleep, but I don't feel I need to take it often. I spend most nights (that I'm off) awake in front of the tv. I hate that I don't feel motivated to do things around th…

Just feelings
Its still hard for me to sleep at night. My doctor gave me "something" to help me sleep, but I don't feel I need to take it often. I spend most nights (that I'm off) awake in front of the tv. I hate that I don't feel motivated to do things around the house. Sometimes I want to move to another house but then I think about all that I would be leaving behind, the memories of her. I often turn off all emotions and just work on auto pilot. I hate that my husband isn't here, especially when I lay here… Continue

Latisha - I am so sorry for your loss - your daughter is absolutely beautiful, you must miss her terribly. The thing that has struck me most about your post is how much you blame yourself - for being tired. As a single parent myself, I worked two jobs and weekends just to make ends meet so we all know those moments of utter exhaustion. I feel the policeman behaved in an awful fashion and I'm angry that you weren't allowed to go with your chilren to the hospital - where they could have done the blood work anyway. I hope you are getting some support from your family and friends. And have you thought about getting some counselling to help you deal with your feelings of guilt? The group here is small but very supportive - so feel free to rant and rave, cry and scream or just talk - we understand your pain and will try to help you get through the awful muddle that grief leaves us in. It's fine being a strong Mummy for your son but you need to be able to express your grief sometimes or you will burst. I've been walking this road a long time - 8 years now - if there is anyway I can help you - just let me know. My shoulders are broad and made for crying on. Take care my love - your little Angel will be well looked after by all our Angels.
Hugs Gail xx

Thank you Laura; my heart goes out to you.
Susan, you say so beautifully what I have been feeling for the last 6 1/2 months...what is to be done with all the love and affection we shared with our loved ones who have passed? This energy does not dissipate or transfer...it is always there boun…
For me, I am reminded of the season in some way, for example, A sign in the market about ordering your turkey. I stop and think, "Why didn't they take that sign down. The holidays are over... Oh, wait Christmas hasn't happened yet!" The spirit is no…
For everyone that has lost their Dad.
Will be a relief when the holidays are over !!! All the lights, carols, etc.... make me sort of angry !!! Then people say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas , & all the )O&(&(&(*. Kill me now - pleaseeeeeeeeee.
Thanks for sharing your story. I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Your story made me feel like I am not a lone. I thought I was the only one waking up with the thought of what I have to do for my grandfather. I was also his care giver. I was w…
everything I see, hear, smell reminds me of my mom. I see a woman on tv with the same hairstyle as my mom and I cry, a similar dress on a woman walking down the street. The smell of foods my mom liked. Everything will remind you. My mom's native lan…
Hi susan, im sorry for your loss, losing someone is very tough indeed and i cannot imagine what pain you must be going through after sharing such a special bond with your dad, which you are fortunate to have, not everyone shares such a special bond…

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

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
