Sorry Jeff.  Too young to go from this world. I believe my daughter, Candace Rae Watson, went to another dimension when her "body" died. We are MORE than just a body. Have faith. Candace came to me the day b/4 her funeral. I didn't see her of course, but she stood behind me and I fFELTrubbing my arms up and down as if to comfort me. I KNOW it was my just turned 30yr old Baby-girl! We will be reunited w/our children!

I suppose it's common for the new group members to lurk quietly in the group, only reading, never writing, until enough courage presents itself that we can actually admit what brought us together. I guess that's today for me. My daughter was 15 years old when she was murdered march 10, 2012. We have so few answers and so many questions. At times I question my right to grieve because my ex and I adopted her and we were not without our struggles. The guilt of not knowing, wondering what else I could have done, it eats me. Time is so slow now. My husband and I take any happy moments we can get with our 3 little boys, but they always feel tainted, wondering how things would be if my daughter was still alive.

Martin, Unbelievable huh? How can the world keep turning? The second anniversart for Candace Rae Watson was 4/09/12. That day will live in infamy for me. Sorry Martin. Lean on the Lord, remember the "footprints in the sand"? You're an inspiration for us here! God created this outlet for you to help others and ultimately heal your own soul. We WILL be reunited w/our kids. I tell myself Candace is on an extended vacation on the other side of the world helping children.She doesn't have a phone or mail service. Lord help all our wounded, crushed hearts here. Amen

Francine, You need to bevery careful w/your health. I think you should see a physician for a thorough check up. Your mental status could have detrimental affects to your body. Get on your stairclimber or walk around the block every morning or evening. My  only child, Candace Rae Watson, passed 4/9/10. It get's minootely? better ever couple months. I'm STILL overwraught and depressed. I know she'll come to get me when it's my time. I KNOW there is life after death. Candace came to me, so did my friends dad, Ward. God will reunite us. Be strong and know this is not our only life. God is beyond awesome. Just believe, please, for your sake and your daughter's. She does not want to see you like this; it'll make her sad on the other side. If you can't do this for yourself, do it for her and your remaining children.

Tanya- so sorry that you are going thru so much, my heart goes out to you. I am not sure why people especially family are not more undertanding when we have lost a child. Some of my in-laws made remarks about my 'attitude' after my son died.  I am generally a quiet person and don't say much just to keep peace, but that changed that day my son died.  If something upset or bothered me I spoke up (still do) and they didn't like it.  Two days after my son died I recvd email pictures from the family reuninon on my husbands side along with an update about how much fun everyone was having let's not forget that they had not been able to find the time to call us after Chris died.   I replied to the email and told them that I was glad they had time to send me an email about the fun they were having during the worst moment of my life but could not find time to call us to let them know my son mattered.  My brother in laws girlfriend basically told me that I needed to not take my anger out on her and that she held a minute of silence for my son and that my brother in law was devestated (devestated enough not to even bother to call his brother).  My sister in law didn't like something I said and told me that I need to take a breath and watch what I say before I alienate anyone more in the family- oh I forgot to mention that she did this for all to read on Facebook. Then privately emailed my husband to tell him that she didn't like me anymore and that I had become such a B***.  I guess my point is that one would think that family would be supportive especially in these situations, but that is not always the case and I find that sad.  I think the case with my husbands family is that they were and are uncomfortable around the situation, they don't like it when I talk about my son and think that I should be the same person that I was before my son died. But I am not the same person as I was before my son died, and I will never be that person again and I am not going to not talk about my son because they are uncomfortable on the subject, they can just deal with it or stay away..they have elected to have nothing to do with me, and that is there choice.  All I can say is heaven help them if I do see them again and I am having a bad day (LOL..,just kidding).  Anyway I am sorry for what you are going through Tanya, you and your son hang in there.  I know what it feels like to feel lost and that every choice I make is wrong it is not a good feeling and I still struggle with that myself.  I have learned since my son died that I have to take each day as it comes and then I break that day into minutes or hours depending on how the day is going.  Hang in there, my thoughts are with you and your son <3  Kathi

What also doesn't help, I uprooted my son, George, out of school on April 2 and we thought we were going to start a new life in Arizona and that turned out to be a bad decision. Family I have there said I had to hit rock bottom before I can go up! They also said I had a shitty attitude!!! So, on Cassie's 6th Angelversary, we were packing up our car and the next day, we moved back to Iowa. Every decision, every choice I have made, for me and George, I think has been the right ones and I'm finding out that they aren't! I can't trust anyone!!!!! Not family; not even friends I've had for over 20 years!!!! I am so damn lost, not even a shrink can help me! I'm on meds, from my family doctor and he's been a great big help, but he's the only one. I need disability and this time, for the 4th time, I am going to fight it and not stop!!! But I am also going to be going back to college and use that money to get us a home! If you really want to know more, I'll tell ya'all more....cause there is more and I'm tired of getting shit on!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
