About Me
I lost my 21 year old son 6-17-07. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever dealt with. I am a paraprofessional working at a middle school with autistic children. The kids are great. Now, I need them as much as they need me. I have been married 24 years and have 3 sons. My middle son, age 21, passed away on June 17, 2007. Every day is a hard day. And now, 5-25-08, I have lost another son's girlfriend, age 20. She was like a daughter to me.

Wondering how you are feeling today? A recent loss often brings up our former ones. I'm so very sorry about the loss of your stepfather. He sounds as if he meant so much to you. Take gentle care and know that you are being thought of. Big hugs, Your friend, Joanie

I am very sorry for your loss. I doubt there is not one of us on the DS family who have not gone though the death of someone who meant the world to us. God Bless you and comfort you. My prayers are with you.
Roger the Minister - verse
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (Joh 3:17) -
Hug
You know that I am quilty of asking God in prayer for something. And if the prayer is answered; quess what my reaction is? SURPRISE, GOD HEARD AMD ANSWERED BY PRAYER; I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT. You know this not pleasing in God's sight. We shoud EXPECT our prayers to be answered. If we pray for something that is His will and by faith we do not doubt and 100% believe God is going to answer that prayer. The problem is knowing what God's will is. This is where we need to know God so intimately and we are friends; we will know the will of God. Excuse me for going on a preaching expedition; that is what God called me to do when I was about 9. Three years before I was saved. My PC crashed a few days ago so I do not have access to my online Bible. So I will have to use memory.
Roger the Minister - verse
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. -
Hug
Ginger, thanks for the hug. My computer crashed a view days ago and I have over 150 message. Only a few were sent directly to me. I read the one sent to me like yours and usually I get 30 or so a day and I try to respond to all of them. But I just have delete them because I have so many, except yours.
Roger the Minster - verse
RO 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 
Hug
So sorry to hear about all the bad things happening in your life.Things have to get better ..Your in my prayers.Hugs Jules

Type: Loss of a ChildMy son passed away June 17, 2007. Seems like a minute ago and yet like a lifetime. It was sudden. An accidental overdose. He was in a car accident a few years ago and broke his back. Although he walked he was always in pain. The pain was awful. He had taken too many pills. I listened to him breathe at 4 p.m. At 5:30 p.m. I went to wake him and he was gone. It was Father's Day. Now, I have lost my almost daughter-in-law, May 24, 2008, age 20. This HURTS!
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- I cry when I feel like it. It is sometimes just a welling up of tears, sometimes to the gut. I guess it helps.
- Grief Counseling Working / Worked
- Combining with EMDR. It seems to be helping.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- I work with Autistic children in a middle school. For 7 hrs. a day I am sure to be distracted. I adore the kids. It helps to help others, I think.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I haven't prayed too much lately. I still believe but just don't have much to say to Him lately. I am sure prayer never hurts.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Trying EMDR Therapy. I think it may help!
- Reading Working / Worked
- I read everything about grief and death I can find. I am trying to find a way through this awful time.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I am so blessed to have such good friends. They call & check on me. I have even received cards which are welcome. As we all know, after the onslaught of cards, they stop. It is nice to get a random one.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Compassionate Friends and this site. It helps just to vent.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I talk to my friends, my husband, support group, and you on this web site. It helps.
- Writing Working / Worked
- I have started writing to Scott. The 1st letter was long..I had stuff to say. Since then I have just written to him about regular stuff. It helps me feel closer to him.
