Dear Deb,

I was away and never read the post Thank goodness as I too would have been hurt. I know it had something to do with addiction so I am glad I missed it.

You have been one of the most supportive people for me since I first found this board. Please don't stop coming I will miss you so much.

I find this board VERY different than the other one, not as comforting and so much harder to reply to and find the post.

DEB, I consider you a dear friend, please stay in touch with me.

Child Loss / Back from my trip and struggling.

Hi everyone,

Well the cruise was OK, there were times I actually laughed but there were times I also cried. Coming home is ALWAYS so hard for me. I hate knowing Tammie won't here to welcome us.

I am really having a hard time this year with the HOLIDAYS, last year I thunk I was numb, but boy I am not numb now.

Not only am I struggling with the Holidays but this board is frustrating too. Thanks to Cherri and Deb I got Tammie's picture on, but still pretty lost I find it harder to read and reply.

Know I am thinking of all of you and ALL our precious kids, they are so missed.

Dear Lori,

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Hopefully trhis board can help you as much as it has me.

I lost my daughter Tammie on Sept. 14, 2005 t an accidental prescription drug overdose. Tammie was my only child and were extremely close. Please visit my website ;
www.projecttammie.com
It tells the tragic story of her death.
I know others here have lost their children to suicide and I know they can help you and may understand what your feeling. Although we all are different we share one common tragic bond.

Know I care,
Dottie Tammie's Mom

Brenda and Rebecca - Sorry you are having a tough time.  This board is different since it brings posts to the top of the board due to having a reply.  The last reply to a message is always on the top of the list.  The "New" icon on each thread shows you that there are responses in that thread that you have not yet read.  It is very different from the threaded boards that allowed you to see the chain of messages.  It takes some getting used to.

When you see a message within a thread that you want to respond to simply click the "quote" button from that message and that message will be automatically copied to the top of your reply.  You can then respond to the message in question.  Try using the quote button on this thread and experiment with it.  Sometimes you can use the quote button and then delete the parts of the post you are responding to that don't apply.

You can see that I used the quote button for Brenda's original message and it appeared prior to my response above.  Do you see how it works?

These lessons help... thank you.  U R correct, this will take some getting use to and for those of us with limited patience, it is difficult.  I will try what you and anyone else teaches.. It is almost 7P... Central time, almost time to light the candle for all of our children.  thank you for all that you and your team do.
Rebecca, Jason's Mom

Child Loss / Re: Your choice of escape *SUBJECT SPECIFIC THREAD*
« on: December 11, 2006, 07:32:54 AM »
I tend to isolate myself from everyone and go sit at the cemetery and just be with Tammie. I have a drink on occasion but truthfully I find it makes me more depressed so I don't drink much at all, never really have. I was a heavy smoker for most of my life started at 13. But I quit 21 years ago, Tammie always hated smoking and she never smoked or drank much. Her addiction to pain pills was so out of character for her it was just unbelievable. It proved addiction can happen to anyone. Since Tammie's death I have thought about smoking again but so far have not as I always think about how much Tammie HATED it. I don't use any meds or drugs as what happened to Tammie has truly turned me off for meds. Not to say I couldn't use an antidepressant but I just can't bring myself to do it. As a teenager I tried pot, but never liked the feeling. I like to be in control. Or think that I am. I try each day to just find a reason to go on with my life without my daughter.  Being a Mom was the VERY BEST thing in my life and I miss it all so very much. My PROJECT TAMMIE has helped me get to this point and hope to make a difference for someone else. Tammie would like that.

I have seen what addiction did to my beautiful, intelligent daughter and hope it never happens to anyone else. It is so painful for who are involved. I am a different person today no doubt about that. Most days I just try to take a step toward living which is difficult to do. I do go to counseling and group which I think has helped me some.

This board has been my addiction for the past almost 15 months. But I will never give it up.
