I am reminded of my precious son by all humans and alert to the fact that i didn't have forever with him like i thought i did. it really saddens me. and you i am sure. how are you doing? i guess we are all about the same. in some sort of way. yesterday was harder than yesterday and i have been particularily sad lately. i think i am going in and out of reality of the truth of the matter. wish i never got that call. my life would be a lot happier i think. take care carrie L

First of all I want to say how sorry I am about Nickolas. He was a great looking kid with beautiful eyes. The way he's flexing his muscles in your main picture reminds me of my own 17 year old son and made me smile. They're so funny at that age. Also, I really enjoyed your power point for his birthday. What an adorable little guy.

Thanks for your response to my posting on the main wall.

You really summed up how I feel, I also feel like I'm in a facade, just going through the motions.

A lot of what you said really made sense and made me think. I never thought about having the autopsy report sent and not looking at it. That's a good idea.

Initially the coroner thought it was the flu. Autumn had a lot of health issues and pain and would take 5 Tyelnol PM just to sleep, even though I told her how dangerous that was. The coroner said they would be able to tell if she took 5 or if she took a whole bottle. Honestly the cause of her death whether it was an illness, accident or on purpose doesn't matter to me. I'm wondering if it's bothering me because it will really make it final and real or what my deal is. But I do appreciate your ideas and encouragement. You said a lot of things that were thought provoking and have even distracted me from crying for awhile. :-) Thanks again!

At 10:56am on August 7, 2010, Linda said…: Hi Sharon, People who have not (thankfully) experienced the enormous grief of losing a child don't understand that it takes a very long time to mourn. It does get easier to cope with in time, but I can understand that 5 years later you still grieve so hard. It's been over 14 years and there are times when my soul cries out like it was only yesterday. I joined this site hoping to be able to help people through their grieving, and I am working on my book that I hope will help people understand their grief, feel validated and find hope. We are changed forever, but through the love and support of others who have an intimate knowledge of what grief is like, may we all work together to help each other through our darkest hours. Linda

I never really thought what that meant till it happened to our family. New meaning everytime I hear of a loss of life.....
Hugs to all Mom's......
