    • About Me

      I live in New Zealand. I work with teachers to support students who have learning and behaviour needs. My darling son was taken from me on May 25 after he fell off his bike at the bmx track and broke his neck. He held out long enough to tell me he loved me. He was paralysed below his shoulders and he said he just wished that he could give me a hug. He was 13. I ache for him as I'm sure you all do for your children. Charlotte

    Give FJsMum a hug



    • Hug

      From roknauntt Tuesday

      Her comment made me feel like I was being a bad mom. Like how dare I still grieve and miss my son knowing that he is in a better place. I also felt guilty that if I was keeping justin here home bound because of my hurt of missing him i felt selfish and felt that I was being unfair to him. i was like what kind of mom could I be if I was doing this and it was hurting him. I dont want to hurt justin at all. I miss him dearly but I would never want to cause him grief because of my pain. Take care my friend Tammie

      From roknauntt November 12

      I know how bad you want it to end. But we and your family we all need you. If when you crumble. You are now a part of my life and you mean very much to me. I don't have a lot of friends but I consider you to be a very dear friend even though we have not met. You will make it you are strong even when you feel weak. Take care.

      : Loss of a Child

      My 13 year old son had an accident on his bicycle and broke his neck on May 25, 2008.

    • Close Depression

      I have suffered from depression since I was a teenager. I go through bouts that are almost unbearable and other times it's manageable and even 'gone.' Right now, a year after the death of my son, I am feeling the spiral downward again.

      Treatments

      Meditation Working / Worked
      This helps
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      I am a positive thinker and always try to see the glass as 'half full" but I can find that I have a positive attitude and still feel really depressed if that makes any sense? It seems that the positive thughts and personality are surface only and mask the deeper depression.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      80mg per day keeps me from hitting rock bottom.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Many years of the same thing.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes this can be over burdening!
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I write poetry as an outlet.
