  • Journal Entry for March 3, 2008

    Monday, March 3, 2008

    I had a major meltdown last night before bed.  I didn't even realize I was crying until tears started to puddle on the table.  I had things to think about from my last EMDR therapy and I wrote about it last night. It was hard but  I think another part has come together.  I hope so. This is what I wrote, parenthesis are thoughts:  My Son Is Dead  Scott... Sco...

    Thank You All So Much!
    Thank you for your support through this long and painful ordeal.
    My mom is now at rest. She's no longer in pain. My brother took it very hard, and so did my sister. I'm doing OK. I guess it's because mom was here every day and I knew and saw what was happening, while my brother and sister lived so far from us.
    Today I'm going to climb to a beautiful summit, wit...

  • STILL SAD!

    Monday, June 2, 2008 | A Painful story

    Sunday Night:  It is a little over a week since Melissa died.  Her Mom came over yesterday and brought a plant, to me, in an Angel vase and pink/yellow roses for Adam.  He was always giving her roses.  DAMN!  I already miss her so much.  She was such a joyful person.  I have posted 4 photos.  Please take a minute to look.  This is just one step un...

    Saturday, June 21, 2008

  • Do Not Expect Much From Me

    Saturday, October 25, 2008 | A Painful story

    Well everyone Thanksgiving is the beginning of my Holidays. It was my favorite, even over Christmas. My son Steven always cooked a turkey for us, and we all at at his house. Our bunch, and any "strays" with no where to roost.
    Steve committed suicide  DEC 10th 2007. So even as depressed as he was he cooked, and did it for all of us.
    Last Christams is pretty much a blur. We went to o...

    I am praynig so hard but hes not going to get better - he's almost 14 ...

  • Shadow on the wall/ Breaking thru

    Thursday, April 30, 2009 | A Painful story

    Is that my shadow on the wall?
    Or is that really me at all.
    I struggle so to see the truth---
    In bygone days and loss of youth.
    I write with ink upon the page,
    And see such sadness and such rage.
    I don't know what to tackle here---
    To stand up tall
    Or disappear.
    Is that me, still insecure,
    Wondering what I can endure?
    Is there hope for what is yet to be?
    Will I ever be content with me.
    I' m not a numb...

  • I'm so Lost

    Monday, November 2, 2009 | A Painful story

    My grieving defines me and I am afraid.  Before I lost Max, I was a positive person.  I believed in accepting "what is" and making the most of each day.  It's now been a year and a half since Max's bicycle accident.  While my grieving and sadness no longer totally consume me, they do define me.  I am "the Mother of the dead boy" to those I meet...
