Child Loss / Re: Do you ever fear people forgetting your Angel?
« on: December 08, 2008, 10:09:33 PM »
"I want them to have this burning desire in them to never forget, to visit his grave, to want to name their children after him. I fear that he will fall in the background only to be thought of ever so occasionally."

Paula, I know of this 'burning desire'. How could we 'not' want our children to be remembered?

For whatever reason others have to not mention our children, it still can be very hurtful. Some will say they don't mention their name in fear of upsetting us. Well, we're already upset and I've found that some are just uncomfortable, not all, but some.

And, I also understand how painful it can be, especially when we have 'asked them' to talk about our children. Sometimes it's very difficult for others to give of themselves. It's at these times, when they are thinking of their 'own' comfort or discomfort.
It 'never' hurts.....to be KIND!

I even had a good friend who is no longer in my life because she was, at least, honest enough to tell me that she was "uncomfortable around me" because my son and her son were best friends, and if 'it' could happen to me, then 'it' could also happen to her.

It's up to me to keep the memory of my children alive. And, I do in every day and in every way.

I printed out an article to give to family and friends and they really appreciated it and it contained the Do's and Don't's when you are supporting someone you love who has lost a child. It really helped me, Paula and others who really wanted to help.

I've been looking for it, it's been so long, because I wanted to post it on here for you and anyone else who would benefit from this caring article.

I'm still searching and promise I will post it as soon as I find it.

I understand everything you're feeling, Paula and my heart goes out to you.

Keeping you in my thoughts and sending my love,
Terry

I'm so sorry for your pain.

Time has never been a friend to me either. It seems the more time that goes by, the more I miss them.

I'd like to welcome you to our Grief Site where you will find many others who will reach out to you and always understand, and with love.

Although I wish that none of us had to be here, I am glad that you found us.

Holding you close, with love,
Terry

Every day is hard; this time of the year is so difficult, there are just no words.

As far as the holiday's go, I do whatever I am able and not what others expect of me. We have all experienced devastating losses and our bodies and minds are suffering, with lack of energy, a sea of memories from past holiday's, and this can consume us with overwhelming pain at times.

Just knowing someone else is listening and that they understand, can help ease that pain a bit, I have found.

Nice picture of you and your beautiful Dan. I'm so sorry, Annie.

Holding you close and sending my love,
Terry

Hi Tom,

Maybe 'lending hands' and within a heart? One hand reaching out for the other.

Something that would get 'my' attention if I were to see it, as an informational aid.

Hope that helps a little.

Again, thank you for all you do.

Love,
Terry

Mandy's Mom,

I am so sorry you're having to live without your precious Amanda. I too felt blessed when I found this Message Board/these Mom's and Dad's who understand, only too well.

Please know that you are not 'alone' in any of your feelings and that there is always someone 'listening'/understanding.

Holding you close and sending my love....Terry

Hi Tom,

I'd be glad to help in any way I can.

I am online usually early in the morning and late at night, around this time....if those times would serve the purpose you're hoping to achieve!

Thank You for all you do.

Love,
Terry

How fortunate for Josh and for you,  to have someone in his life that continues to honor the memory of his Momma. How very important this is.
These special occasions are difficult and I'm sorry Candi is not here to celebrate with her son. I am glad that you are feeling peace with Davina being a part of his life.

Happy Birthday sweet Josh! Your Momma is smiling on you...always.

Big Hug and My Love,
Terry

Annette, what a sweet little boy he is. I enjoyed hearing him share how he felt about the calf. In fact, I played it 3 or 4 times. Just precious, Logan is!

Thanks for sharing this!

Hugs,
