      From poobear23 September 12

      Hi, just wanted to give you a hug as well. Those of us who have yet to bury a child will never know the depths of your grief. I played golf with a lovely lady the other day who related how difficult it had been to be executor of her daughters affairs who died at 23. It has been three years for her and she said the hole just never fills. While time may not heal we have to find a way to make it thru the day and I wish for you the courage and strength to find that path. Peace, Donna

      From deborahd August 20

      I am so sorry for your loss. I can only tell you that God has helped me struggle through the last 2 and half years. The catch to this is to allow God to help. At times I was so angry with God that I wouldn't let him. He never gave up on me, he was there for me when I got to the end of my rope and couldn't go anymore.
      I love you and pray that God surrounds you with his peace and love and carries you. Daily strength has been awesome, there are so many mothers here who know exactly how you feel.
      Debbie
