      Sending to all my sister survivors: one of my all time favorite songs,

      Shaking the Tree-Peter Gabriel

      We are shaking the tree...

      Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
      Waiting your time, so much more than just a wife
      You dont have to do what your mother has done, she has done
      This is your life, this new life has begun
      Its your day - a womans day
      Its your day - a womans day

      Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
      Turning the tide, you know you are nobodys slave
      Find your brothers and sisters
      Who can hear all the truth in what you say
      They can support you when youre on your way
      Its your day - a womans day
      Its your day - a womans day

      We are shaking the tree...

      Theres nothing to gain when theres nothing to be lost
      Theres nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost
      Make a decision that you can be who you can be, you can be
      Tasting the fruit, come to the liberly(? ) tree
      Its your day - a womans day
      Its your day - a womans day

      Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
      Changing your ways, more than any man can do
      Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal
      Maybe hes looking for his womanly side, make him feel

      You had to be so strong
      And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all
      Were gonna to break it down
      We have to shake it down, shake it all around

      We are shaking the tree...

      From dragonlady66 July 2

      When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
      And don't be afraid of the dark.
      At the end of a storm is a golden sky
      And the sweet silver song of a lark.
      Walk on through the wind,
      Walk on through the rain,
      Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
      Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
      And you'll never walk alone,
      You'll never, ever walk alone.

      Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
      And you'll never walk alone,
      You'll never, ever walk alone.

      Type: Loss of a Child

      I witnessed my daughters accident. When my husband and I got to her, she was dead. I did CPR on her. She is alive and well with only minor affects, but I just can't get over it or get past it. I can't handle death very well. There has been death all around me for all my life, I never thought I would ever need to do CPR on my own child.
