My son's name.
1: Jason Craig
Have you ever had someone say to you, Its time to get over it.
2: Not directly, but I have had people say, it takes time.
What was your response.
3. Someone else said that she has a different view of death and I said, well, that might be but until one loses a child, views are only that, a view.
Do you think you will ever get to the point of healing?
4. Healing, right now I don't know what that means. Acceptance that there is absolutely nothing I can do to bring him back. I will miss Jason always but I know he is gone from us, as hard as that is to accept. I think the gut wretching, fall to the ground, pain has been taken over by the extreme always sadness of losing my son.
What do you think you will need to get to that point.5.
I don't know.
How have you survived
6. Survived by wearing a mask and trying my hardest for my daughter who lives far away.
Any thoughts or comments?
7. When I was first came to this site, I thought I will never be where I am today in terms of not crying all the time, in terms of not screaming all the time, in terms of questioning all the time. I think as so many people who unfortunately are here much longer than I, the feelings get softer, sometimes. I don't think that anyone can tell anyone when it will happen or if it will happen. I think I am a little different because, as I have said before,I was the child of a mother who lost a child and I know how I felt, helpless! I never felt that I was needed, and always felt in the shadow. Mind you, I was an adult, 33 years of age when my brother died. He was sick for 10 years and I prepared for ten years because we were always in the shadow of my brother who was so sick.
I have to tell you John, that I have never answered your questions because I couldn't remember all of them. Today I realized how to print just the questions, which is the way I was able to answer them.
