Hard day

[capricorn]

Today is my deceased daughter's 34th birthday.... for the past month or so I have been having a hard time thinking about her or talking about her without being in tears.....this is after almost 13 years. I'm not sure why all of a sudden I feel like it's day one but after doing some reading I find this is normal for bereaved parents....for everything to come back like it just happened off and on. Bummer I know you understand and so did Pooh....I always forget how many of us have buried children.... That being said.

Christie and I had a nice talk yesterday...actually I did all the talking ....:rolleyes:She went home and called me last night to tell me she read almost an entire self-help book and made an appt with a Pastor from one of our churches for some one on one counseling...I am so proud of her strength and glad she found it. We are Catholic but my oldest daughter changed her family to a Lutheran church that does so much for people....someday we will talk religion....(God help us all).....Badboy threatened us with this once.....The catholic churches in my area only want $$$$$$ and help no one. That being said.......

My little 7 year old granddaughter spent the eveing inthe hospital last night.....she started getting muscle spasms in her back and no one can figure out why . She will do PT and hope that helps..A prayer for an angel please....she is in somuch pain and so sweet.

Cap I do understand the emotions you experience with the anniversary of the loss of your daughter.

Find your support system today and pamper yourself, have your favorite meal, and spend time with loved one.

April 15th will be the anniversary date for my daughter, and it will be 15 years next month.

You are in my thoughts & prayers.

Cap, I can not imagine what it must be like to loose a child, My youngest was hit by a car when he was 6 and I about lost my mind, Waiting for him to come out of surgery was terrifying. and I was so scared. That is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
I agree with Bummer, Get out and be with friends, etc try and not be alone, Know that you are being thought about as you go through this trying time.. I wish I could do more........

Cap... my heart goes out to you ... I have never lost a child or grandchild, so I can't completely relate. I can imagine however, and what I imagine appears to be the worst thing that could ever happen. I am so glad that your other duaghter is reaching out for help. That is a sign that she will find a path that will enhance her life versus one that takes away from it. Good luck Angel... I am here if you need to talk. Red

Cap & BK, I cannot imagine what pain you and your family endure daily.
All I can offer is my prayers and heart felt sympathy during your bad times. As in all deaths of loved ones, certain dates, smells, events, and one's own mind, can flood the memories back like it happened yesterday...making one miserable with the same grief all over again. It will never go away sadly....but this same misery, also helps you to hold onto the wonderful memories and the good times you once enjoyed w/ her.
Prayers for you & your's....don't worry, you child is beside you everywhere you go, and through everything you do.

Take care, Lilly
