      I just read your post and journal from January. It has only been 1 year since my daughter passed away, but I cannot imagine being any less devastated or missing her any less in 15 years. You are right, you don't ever "get over it". I hope you are feeling better now.

    • Close Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
      : I have lost a child to SIDS

      My first child was a little boy,born on my 17th birthday. He was 1 month & 14 days old the day SIDS claimed his life.

      Treatments

      Grief Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      I think it was still too soon after his death,combined with my young age to actually kick in at that time.
    • Close Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)

      I have a 4 year old daughter named NaPualani. She will be 5 in May. She has a very strong temper, but can be sweet when she wants. We are working on anger management issues with her right now, as well as time~outs, etc.

      Treatments

      Child Time-out Not Working
      If told she needs to take a time out, she will kick, bite, scream, slap, punch!!
      Play Therapy Not Working
      In my opinion it was not helpful. Like being rewarded for being naughty by getting to play. Did not focus on issues that needed focus. Only wirked when therapist was present.
    • Open Parenting Big Kids (5-8)

      I have a 7 year old daughter going on 8 years old in Feb. She is very head strong, & will attempt to control every situation.

      Treatments

      Education (School) Working / Worked
      She does well in her school, & school related activities.
      Listening Somewhat Helpful
      I try to keep an open mind when she is talking. Sometimes diffucult when she will change the subject 30 times in 20 minutes. But still working on it!!
    • Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I have been diagnosed with PTSD for over 5 years now. I have not been able to find a therapist that I am comfortable with, since I refuse medication!!

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      One of my relaxation techniques
      Reading Working / Worked
      I HAVE TO READ!!
      Talking Working / Worked
      Another relaxation technique for me
