About Me
before i lost beth i had six children, three boys, three girls....all successful adults now, all married except for my youngest daughter who is in med school currently. i have been kept going on a daily basis by my 'funny farm'...nine acres in NE PA with seven mini goats, two mini donkeys, one mini horse, and several chickens, plus my two house dogs and four in-and-out cats. a funny little menagerie. without the physical needs of these guys, i might not have moved much this year. i have lived here for two and a half years; came here after 35 years in the valley forge, pa area; grew up in central illinois. i just really love pennsylvania...it is beautiful and i love the way history is just so alive here. i am a nurse and now beginning to look for a part time job which is a scary journey but i do love nursing and do need the income. i am hoping, too, that the forced being out with people will help me to GET out with people more. i find i am very comfortable to just stay here at home, probably too comfortable. i am here now to 'be with' others who do understand the horrible hole that is left when our child is gone. i lost my parents not too long ago and do miss them, but nothing prepared me for how awful loosing bethy would be. and since she had a progressive disease that we all knew would be her demise at some time, the reality of the loss is just so awful..

I read your topic post. I really appreciate how your feel and have felt since you lost Bethy. You wrote so eloquently and expressed yourself so honestly...I can certainly relate to all that you said. It is so hard to be who we used to be...which is what friends and family want...but I believe is impossible. Our lives are changed. I do believe that we can regain some of the old us...which happened for me around the two year anniversary. Love and hugs...Karen
Funny Face
Barbara: my husband and I are laughing at your farm. Mini goats, mini donkeys, mini horses and (what?) standard sized chickens?? We had 26 horses and I was fighting to get 2 minis when we closed down our facility but no such luck... Poor me.

Hello and welcome...I am so glad you found us and so sorry for your loss. I lost my 22 year old son, Alex on May 18,2007. It is a long, hard road but the moms here are wonderful and have helped me so much...I know they can help you too. When you feel able please write a journal and tell us your story and please accept my friendship. Love and hugs....Karen
