One other person I met here lost her child a year to the date of my girl. I think we were meant to find this site. I am glad I did.
That is also my older sisters birthday, I find it cool that a lot of death dates or birthdays match someone in one way or the other. You hang in there, and someone said, instead of calling it, an anniversary date, call it their "Angel Day" hugggggssss

I have been reading so many messages, and trying to keep track, lol. I get email when they are posted,so that is good because it gets me back here.
thank you for your comment on my daughter. she did grow up to be a wonderful woman, and like all the other children, we each know how special they were and still are to us as moms.
Your Ryan sounds like he was a great son too. My heart feels for you too. I have so much to add to the discussion board, messages from the other side, when I get more time. I am still waiting though!!! others have had connections.

There are things that we don't

want to happen but have to accept,

things we don't want to know but have

to learn, and people we can't live

without but have to let go.

It helps a little because it is so true, but time will be needed to understand it better. I am going on just over a year. The first 12 months are so hard to deal with and do what is best for you.
hugs and love to you and all those here.

I couldn't believe it was going to be 2 years. Everyone calling to ask how you are and telling me that they understand, just doesn't help. As a mother we are supposed to fix everthing and make everything better. I also have the good days as you mentioned. I am sorry for the loss of your son, I hope one day we will have more good days than bad.

I know what you mean about answers. Even though we know they will not change a thing I am constantly hearing myself asking why. Followed by the tears and sometimes anger. It has only been since Aug 1, 09 for me so The anger is still in the rage stage. I know people think they know the time lines for grieving stages but everyone is different and people sometimes are not real understanding. Sometimes they don't want to hear us cuz it opens up any hurt they may have experienced in the past or still are. But then where does that leave the ones who need to talk about our lost children? Silent and alone w/our hurt. I hate that feeling of thinking I need to apologize every time I cry or get angry or whatever the emotion might be at that minute. I think we will always ask why just hopefully w/time maybe the need or thought won't be so often. I'll keep you and all the parents who have lost a child in my thoughts and prayers. Having others you can vent to that understands helps . Robin

I feel like this is the year I am waking up and really have to face that he is NOT coming back and I hate it. I also feel like I am at that place where others expect that I am getting over his loss. I feel like they don't want to hear me. So I put on my mask for their sake and I feel hurt and alone. As with all of you, I miss my child. I know there are no answers to why this happened and yet I still want the answers.
