    • About Me

      I lost my 25 year old son Sept 6, 2008. He was asleep in a friends car after attending a party. The friend decided he would drive them home, only, they didn't make it. The young 21 year old's life forever changed that morning, as well as mine. The young man's Mother and Father are very good friends of mine which makes it so much more difficult.

      Before this, I loved to sew and especially loved quilting. I would get up 2 hours earlier just to do it. Now, I don't care one hoot about it.

    • Hug

      From BinkyH November 12

      Hi Barbara, thanks for the comment about me working on Michael's angel day. We have been really slow at work, but I will be sure to post any interesting doggie stories as they happen. People can be really strange about their pets LOL. It is always something going on.

    • Sorry

      From RememberKala November 12

      Wow! I feel so bad. I am so sorry for anything and everything I've done or said to make you think that. I promise it's not the case. I love you. I need your friendship. I wish you didn't live so far away....a pitcher of margaritas sounds good. Maybe we can figure something out?? Let's try!

    • Hug

      From RememberKala November 12

      You don't serious think I'm avoiding you do you???? Please say you're kidding! I thought you were at the other location full time now. Seems I'm always arriving around lunch time. Roger is always wanting to get that "one more part" on the truck and I end up waiting around on him. I miss our real hugs too!!!! I've thought about driving on up the road to see you more than once. Maybe I'll just do it next time! What we need to do is plan on going to lunch one day when I come with a delivery. How's that sound? I'm SOOOO sorry if I've made you wonder about anything. I love you. You were always willing to listen to me and to hug me when I stood in your office after Kala's accident. We could have never known the same thing would soon happen to Chad. You always cared about me and that helped me make it back onto 285 more times than I can count. So, lunch?

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes helps in the moment
      Getting Angry Somewhat Helpful
      Screaming in the car on the way to work by helps at times. My therapist suggested a tennis racket to swing in the air or hit the bed with it. Says the noise is part of the therapy. Don't have one, but plan on getting one.
      Grief Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      When I skip a week of therapy, my emotions go nuts. That is when I know it helps.
      Keeping Busy Working / Worked
      Working. Without it, I would not be where I am in my grief process.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      I cannot listen to the same music I listened to before. Listening to talk radio helps sometimes.
      Pets Working / Worked
      Loving our 5 mini dachshunds.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      I want to believe that prayer is helping along with therapy, friends and DS.
      Reading Not Working
      Most of the time I can't concentrate. I have 2 books started and will have to go back to the beginning to complete them.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Support from my friends and husband. Support from my family at DS really helps.
      Support Groups Working / Worked
      DS is the only support group that I am a part of. I need it desperately.
      Talking Working / Worked
      When I have therapy, I am able to release some of the anger. Sometimes only temporary.
      Time Somewhat Helpful
      I know that I have come a long way in less than 8 months. And I know it will take a long long time to even partially heal.
      Xanax Not Working
      It might work if I would take it as prescribed instead of waiting too late.
