Hi All,
I'm also part of grievingparents@yahoo.com. I lost my 10 month old Emma on June 22, 2006. I'm probably alot further down this road than some but still find myself needing support and needing to support others. Thinking of you all
XOXO

Hi Everyone, I have just joined this link and I need to tell my story. I am still grieving over the loss of my stepson Scott, who died in is sleep, September 5,2009. He was only 28 years old. We had talked on the phone for hours the night before he passed away. All I can do is think about the night before when we had talked and I keep wondering why I didn't get a hint from him. Is there any way I could of stopped this from happening. I wish I had all the answers, but I don't. Maybe joining this site will help me with my greiving process. I sure hope it does. Thank you for letting me vent. Judy

I am from Australia and have recently begun a journey of grieving for my 2 aborted babies. Will you accept me on your Forum? I feel like a murderer or should I say I sinned against the 10 commandments Thou Shalt not Kill. Now I have committed myself to
christ I am on a new path and a new journey but first, I need to heal and I do need help in doing this. Jennifer

What a lovely idea...a Celebration of Life Day. I pray that this day is full of blessings and healing. Maybe you will post some photos here from that celebration? That would be wonderful.

Hi, I'm so glad I found this (or rather it found me!). Still trying to find my way around, but want to say hi to everybody so long.

I am rejoining this, because my other page stopped working and i could never quite figure out how to get it to recognize my login. So this is my new page.

Anyway, I had been thinking about Chris today when I was talking to a friend about changes that have been taking place since he died. I felt very sad because it was around this time that he had gotten a very bad infection from having a low white blood cell count. He was delierious from fever and had a low blood pressure and high pulse. He was sleeping a lot and so the usual joking around and watching reality shows together was out. I remember looking at him and thinking that even though he was 18 years old, he looked so small in that bed. I also remember thinking for the first time since he started treatment in January, that he could die. A week later, he was doing fine anad graduating from High school. A week after that, he had a CT scan done before he went to the next round, the usual routine. The results were not good- the cancer was back. The first anniversary of these events is quite painful, but I noticed that as I was very upset about remembering all of it, I was still able to function. Something like this before, would mean curling up on the couch or in bed for the rest of the day and shutting down emotionally. I am slowly making progress and even though I don't like living without him at all, i know I can get through things as they happen and still make baby steps forward. I thought that was a pretty awesome discovery.

7 months since Chris died today. Not a great day, but each one I get through is one nore day closer to seeing him again. I miss his laugh. His whole body shaked when he laughed sometimes, which really got us going. He would get excited about the simplest things: gummy bears, drumstick ice cream, a sandwich I had made him the last time he was in the hospital and we all knew he was stopping treatment. He savored EVERYTHING! The tears and the memories get in the way of me savoring life the way I think I should, to honor his memory. But I will get there eventually, because I know he is cheering me on.....
