    • Little Love

      From KarenR1955 Yesterday

      I have read your journal entries and send every ounce of love that I can send, there is nothing on earth that can be worse than losing a child. I have not been in that situation and I know that I cannot possibly know how it feels, but I do know that it would break a heart in two. Dear friend, please take care and may God Bless you and your daughter in law and babies xxxx

      Julie,
      I read your journal today and you portrayed me as brutal. That is fine, I can take it, it is coming from your grief. I would never in a million years compare losing a loved one like losing an animal. I was only trying to get you to understand you are making yourself sick and your son would not want that. You need to see a doctor to help you get rest, which will in turn help your grief take its normal course, which is what I told you on chat. You are so angry that you are not taking care of yourself. How any of this can be brutal is beyond me. I am a Faithful Christian as well, and I was trying to help.
      God Bless you

      It is not anything personal just not what I need to hear. I have not had a full night sleep in since aug 28. I have lost 35 lbs. I am sick. You must not know the pain if I am feeling since you can say these things. The other moms feel like me and are helping me. I can't just get over it like he was a dog. He is my baby.
      So thanks for trying but I am not ready for what you rae saying.
      I am a Faithful Christian...just so you know.
      May god bless all of your days~Love to you~Julie
