I am more reserved , reluctant & hestitant,,something that i was not before.
I am cautious to speak & voice my opinion, I listen more now , because I really have nothing to contribute to a conversation.
I sense when someone is sincere and when someone is not.
I have started reaching out to those in the community, over the past few months who are in need, (illness, surgery, injury,death, laid off from work) because the community so generously did so to us when our son was killed.
I am tuned into teenagers actions, words and emotions, yet find myself easily repelled by adults who find being a parent a pain in the backside. I get easily angered when I see kids being mistreated by their parents in public.
I have noticed that some people worry & talk about alot of insignificant things in life.
I try not to judge people , but I tried not to judge people before my son's accident too,
I could take bits and pieces from all the posts listed-and it would probably sum up the way I feel better then my own post.
What has this made you?? very confused, uncomfortable, itchy in my own skin, painfully aware that there are no second chances
