Setting up times to chat

[Tom]

We have had some discussions on another thread and a suggestion was to start a thread to help people set up times to chat.  Feel free to post to this thread and let us know when a good time might be for you.  Once we get some times that are good for folks we can put them into the top post so those looking can find them easily.

For those of you who might not know, you can get into the chat program by clicking the "Chat" link in the upper toolbar.  That should open a new page with the chat program and you should be automatically logged in with your screen name from the board.

Thank you, Tom, for all of your hard work in setting up this web sight. You really do sound like you have a heart of gold. It is really great to have someone take their grieving to a different level to help others the way that you have.  I just wanted to take the time to say that I appreciate what you are doing. Keep up the good work!!

Tom, I would be willing, okay, I would be THRILLED, to do a chat (question and answer type...) about my experiences, and hopefully get people into the chat "groove" in the process. Just email me and let me know if you want me to show up. BTW, The new board is awesome.

I have an idea. Perhaps some of us can volunteer to be in the chat room every evening at a certain time. The schedule can be posted. People will start to get used to the schedule and it could become a source of support. I know that most evenings and weekends, I cry and cry and feel soooooooooo alone. I don't know where to turn. I would be willing to host a chat (by sitting in the chat room and welcoming everyone) at least one hour a week. I live in the Pacific Time Zone, and 6 pm Pacific time would work for me, or even later.....

Love,

I could do one as well.  Maybe we can drum up some other guys around here to take part... or maybe partners of those of you who do post on the board.  I'm in the central zone 9 or 10ish would be best for me at nite

i recently lost my youngest son of 25 to a hit and run driver. It has been two since his tragic death. I know that I am not alone in this world to loose a child no matter what age in a tragic death. All the same, as my heart goes out to their families, my heart is grieving the lost of my son. His life just started to change for the better and now it is gone. Too many times we take each day for granted and we never know when we will ever meet again, we just assume we all will. It is a bittersweet pill to take when you loose one of your own and it is harder when you are the parent burying your son or daughter.

Missygirl, I'm very sorry to hear of the tragic passing of your youngest son.  Children shouldn't leave this earth before their parents.  But it happens far too often as this board attests.  I hope coming here and pouring your heart out when you feel like it will help a little.  Even just reading and knowing you are not alone has  been so helpful to me.  My 21 year old son, Keith, has been gone from me since August 5, 2007.  Still so hard to believe. 

Wendy, Keith's mom

Wendy and Missygirl, I'm so sorry for the loss of your sons. I lost my son, Michael, too, last year in May. It's so very painful. I'm happy this board is here, even if I'm not quite sure what to do with it.

Love,
Annette

I just came from the chat room and was very disappointed that there are no occupants. Any evening, I think, would be a good time. Let's try just jumping in and hoping for someone to be there.
