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 ...
I lost my daughter on July 4, 2009. In an atuo accident and I was at fault because i was tired. The night before I had worked a 12hr shift (corrections officer) and that morning I came in from work and got the kids off to daycare and basicly took ...

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

I feel the same way about not feeling like you can talk to your family. While my husband is extremely supportive he just doesn't understand the feelings going on in my head. The memories of even little things. Every night I try to go to sleep, but...
While I have never been graced with the ability to have children I understand some of what your sister in law is feeling. I look at people walking down the street pregnant and wish it was me. I get so jealous and it hurts to see family members pre...

If a picture is worth a thousand words
And nothing worthwhile is ever lost
Then what is the value of memories
For those who paid the highest cost?

I just joined this site, because I feel I have no one in my family I can talk to, for fear of upsetting anyone. On November 9, 2009 my younger brother was killed in a work related accident. I was very close with him, and I'm feeling so incredibly ...
Thank you Donna. Actually, she wasn't full term - I was mistaken (I didn't know her then)...she was also 6 months along.
I appreciate your reply, I also thought she was going a little too far, but having never been through such a loss, I wasn't su...
I have lost a baby during pregnancy, (not as far along as her, 6 mo. for me.) It is difficult to deal with but I think she is going too far. She will always have thoughts no matter who the pregnant person is. I really think you should schedule som...
Are there other murder victims families in this online support group? If so I would love to hear from you. All deaths are a tragedy, but when it is murder you can not just grieve for your loss. You have to deal with catching the criminal, trials, ...
Tania, I agree that was completely rude. It is amazing how many people are so thoughtless. My brother was murdered and the first thing (more than one) asked was, was he in a gang? was it a drug deal? How ridiculous he was a 44 year old man, trying...
Guess that was sort of 'the confirmation' you needed Allan - we call those warm feelings of comfort 'Angel Hugs' - you will too.

Thank you for sharing, Allan.
Dear Group,
Remember my story about the box of clothes belonging to my daughter that has taken up residence in my living room? (Now simply called "the box" - kind of like the elephant in the living room) Well today we had a minor breakthrough.

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
