Hi Deena's Mom just wondering how you been I've been thinking of you and praying for all of us here I've been taking it one day at a time hugs to you Alicia Jesse's Mom
Deanna's Mom, your Deanna is so beautiful. Her smile looks so geniune and giving,I know you are are hurting for I too lost a loving giving smiling child (Steve) ten years ago in March. You would think ten years would make it better but aniversaries hurt the most. I dont know how to comfort you except to say there are people in this world who loves you and we really understand HOW YOU FEEL....I wondered around in a big black hole for a couple of years trying to find understanding. Of course I saw nothing but my own tears and pain. I am so sorry you are hurting.

So sorry about your daughter, my son has been gone since Oct. and it was his birthday Dec.19. I feel your pain.It helps to be on this site and realize we all are trying to get by the best we can. Hugs to you!
Pam I my name is Diane and I lost my son Andy Dec. 10, 2010 it was one year ago yestersday I lost him to a gunshot to the chest, yes he shot himself he was 30 yrs. old. married and had 6 children 3 his and 3 step children, he lived in Michigan and I lived in Delaware I talked to him right before he shot himself and told me he was fine and waiting on my brother to get to his house so when my daughter called it was very shocking. I cried all the way as my sweet husband drove all night to get me to Michigan a 12 hr. trip. I was a mess and it took me a long time to get myself together he was my world I have 3 other children he was my oldest son. You just have to give yourself time you will do a lot of crying I still do cry and probably will for a long time, I still cry for my Dad and he's been gone 27 years. But you do learn to live with the pain sometime you feel as if your losing your mind but Trust in God he never makes mistakes. I have to be strong for his kids and I look at it this way we had him for 30 years and those babies only had him a short time his son Davian only had him 11 years and the twins Justin and Janiah were only 2 yrs. when he passed so all I can say is pray to God to give you strength to go on send me a message whenever you need to talk my email is demartinrogers@yahoo.com......................Diane

I agree about not really wanting to be around people, but if you can just even get out and take a walk it helps. I know what you mean about Deena being on your mind constantly, I had a problem with my sons name playing over and over in my head, day and night, even if I was speaking to someone his name would just repeat in my head, I really thought I was going to lose it!! I decided to go outside and do some gardening, then I took a walk,it helped so much to clear my mind, the repeating of his name stopped but then a song got stuck in my head, over and over...just repeating like the first verse....it was terrible! I don't know if you have ever meditated, I never had but I put some soothing music on, I think it was ocean sounds, and I sat in a quiet room, turned the stereo up and just tried to empty my mind, thought of peaceful things, not tragedy, this was all with in a feww weeks of my son passing, it helped! I also found that if I got a good cry in when I was in the shower it kind of released a lot of pain and anger...
I promise. I swear to you, I never thought it would be possible, my words of wisdom are, make sure to leave your house each day, don't get stuck in the trap of staying inside, this is a tough one but put her pictures around, that way you will get used to seeing them everywhere and you won't get shocked if you happen to see one unexpectedly, write to her in a journal, I did this for about 6 months, I cried and wrote my feelings and how much I missed him, it was like a broken record, but it helped to write my feelings down, when I was done I closed the note book and put a rubber band around it, it sits here near my bed and I write in it occasionally now, one day I will read it and I am sure it will be very emotional, but for now I just have it so that when I need to really say something to him instead of just thinking about what I need to say, I write it. Celebrate her Birthdays, that was the happiest day of your life, the day she was born, I have balloons and a cake, if his friends come over we sing and send our love....on the day of his passing we also let off balloons, we write our feeling on the balloons and send them to heaven....I hope I'm not overwhelming you with all of this!
I will make you a promise, G*D will not leave you were you are or where you were on that horrible day, I too felt the same way, I still have rough days and I will have them for the rest of my life, but, I can laugh now, smile, eat, talk, leave the house, all of these things that I thought I would never ever be able to do again.... it takes time, a long time, we all grieve differently, but somehow, someway we do survive, just NEVER give up!
