    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Child

      My only daughter, Cassie, became and Angel on April 22, 2006 @ the tender age of 21. She was killed while riding her brother's ATV. She leaves behind 1 older and 1 younger brother, 4 nieces, and me, her Mom.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      I only cry where I am safe and not afraid to show emotions and not wear the 'mask'.
      Getting Angry Somewhat Helpful
      Releasing my temper is really hard to do. I try my best to keep it inside, but I have punched walls, thrown things and I when I can't handle much more, I just start yelling and screaming.
      Grief Counseling Too Soon to Tell
      I am still trying to trust my 'counselor' and myself.
      Helping Others Working / Worked
      I am trying to volunteer, but when a 'close' friend has lost someone, I offer any advice I can. The best advice I can give is, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. It's easier to find 'fault' with yourself, than it is to concentrate on 'how' things happened.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      My youngest son and I listen to my daughter's favorite music group: Jon Bon Jovi and we smile and talk about my daughter and we remember her with all Jon's music.
      Pets Somewhat Helpful
      I've got 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 1 bird. Having them help to hold and get kisses from makes me feel safer and secure.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      After the death of my daughter, I went to the book stores and tried finding books on grief. Some books have helped and other books have not helped at all.
      Remembering Somewhat Helpful
      I put a memorial on the back windshield of my car with Cassie's birthdate and angel-date.
      Scrapbooking Considering
      I haven't started yet. I don't know what to put into a scrapbook. Cassie has lots of awards and other things that are personal and not sure what to do with it or how to do the scrapbook.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I try my best to talk to other's, but since Cassie's death, I've lost every one of my friends. So the only one I talk to is my little boy.
      Time Considering
      We have plenty of time, just not enough patience.
      Paxil Working / Worked
