    • About Me

      I'm a mom of 3. I work 34 hrs per week at a family owned business. I volunteer at our grade school once a week. I lost my oldest son, at the age of 20, on August 30th, 2008 in a motorcycle accident. I can't even believe I'm typing that. My husband and I have a very strong marriage, and are very close to our children. Our other two children are struggling, but we have a very strong faith and I know they will be ok.

      I also owe you an apology for not sending birthday wishes to Nic on his birthday. I have been taking a break from the computer and stress. I know how difficult those special days are and I wish you love, peace and warmth. We did our balloon release on Erick's birthday along with balloons for my niece and Karen's(biowoman) Alex, they share the same birthday. Love and Hugs, Vera

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      I think you need to let it out. It's therapuetic and helps destress.
      Keeping Busy Working / Worked
      The busier I am, the more I can think about other things other than reliving the day.
      Music Working / Worked
      Happy music. I cannot listen to sad songs anymore.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      I don't know how anyone can get through life without hope and prayer.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Reading books on others experiences with grief has helped. Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul is a good book. It just helps you to not feel so alone.
      Remembering Working / Worked
      On my son's birthday, we and all of his friends went to the cemetary and set off 21 balloons. Just having them all there helped alot.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My family and friends have been wonderful.
      Support Groups Working / Worked
      This website is helping me a lot. I love the new friends I have made already. You are all so kind and loving.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I can only really talk about it with my husband and one friend. My husband understands, and my friend really listens.

      Nothing really helps but time.
