    • About Me

      Single mom in N.J., that has survived three losses of close family members in the year of 2007. My mother died, Jan. 07, my oldest son who was the Chief of a local Fire Department, died suddenly & tragically on Aug. 6, 2007. Shaun...my angel now for one year. As if the pain of loosing my mother & son wasn't enough for me to handle, on Sept. 6, 2007, 4 weeks to the day my only sister died. It's been a long hard year, and I'm still grieving all of my losses.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      I still tear up daily, so many triggers - have been having crying jags after the 2 year mark.
      Grief Counseling Too Soon to Tell
      Just started intensive grief therapy after putting it off for much too long - this is a must in order to sustain and find a new way of life.
      Keeping Busy Not Working
      No distractions really help - I'm away from the pain for a moment - but it always manages to catch up with me at some point in the day.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      Passionate about music & yes it does take my mind to a better place.
      Pets Working / Worked
      Boots - my youngest sons cat - a really crazy cat who constantly gets into mischief -if he weren't so cute with those big green eyes - I'd have packed his suitcase by now.
      Poetry Somewhat Helpful
      I've picked back up with writing.
      Prayer Somewhat Helpful
      I have prayed everyday since Shaun died - & I will continue to do so - I believe the power of prayer can create miracles
      Support from Friends & Family Not Working
      Support Groups Working / Worked
      Could not have gotten this far in two years time without For Moms only - the love & comfort and shared common bond, assures me that I'm not the only one that feels this way.
      Talking Not Working
      Time Not Working
      2 years - therapist says 2 years for a mother to feel healed over loosing a child.
