Who are your Heroes? Mine are my three sons. Two for fighting with all their might to survive cancer and dying with dignity when a cure was not to be found. I…

We will never see him marry, have grandchildren, have our own child to care for us in our old age. Not only is my son gone, but every hope and dream for the future is gone as well.

My circumstances are similar to yours. My remaining daughter was with each of her sisters the moment they died. My youngest died in her home in France, my oldest in her home in California. I am so proud that I raised such strong women. I know it has been a devasting ordeal for my remaining daughter. None of them ever complained & tried to make it easier for me. Life goes on doesn't it. It will of course never be the same but as my daughter said to me, "Mom, this is the new normal." Yes, that's true. Let's hang on to what we have left. Love, Shirley

I too have lost 2 children to cancer in the last 17 months, 2 daughters. No, it is not fair but it happened to us & many other mothers & fathers I suppose. It is with me every day, 24 hours a day. I believe people who have not "been here" don't understand that it never goes away. I'm not sure it ever will. I am finding the holidays difficult again this year. I still have another daughter & some other extended family members & we try to go on as best we can. You certainly have my sympathies & I totally understand your pain.

Love, Shirley

That is just not fair. Do you have any others? I think if I had a surviving child or if Tyler had children it might be better. But all the dreams, hopes and plans for the future died with my son.

I feel exactly as you do and have every single day since it happened. I have come to realize that this will never be better - I will continue to live my life, but with unbearable sadness and loss every day. I will sometimes enjoy things, the the real joy and happiness have gone out of my life forever. This is my first Christmas and I feel like an alien - watching everyone around me decorating, making plans, celebrating, wishing each other well. I just stand there and think to myself - that used to be me, but never again. I saw your post to the group and I couldn't help but notice you mentioned Danbury. Is that Danbury CT? Because if it is, I live in Bethel!!!!!
