I want to thank each and every person for sharing their pain. I needed to hear it from others to start letting my own pain out. From the moment I learned of my son's death I've been holding it in for fear it is just too big for the world to bear. If I scream out my pain, the world may just explode from the intensity of it. I've thought let it seep out, bit by bit so as not to let out that final AHHGHAHHGH.
I never ever thought thought that my child would end up a victim of murder. I never ever thought that my relitives would murder my children, I was so wrong.
What is happening in the U.S.of A.? Why are our citizens so oblivious to each others pain? My tears are flowing for the mothers of murdered 3 year olds, the OD's, the victims of accidents, the suicides, those that became sick and died, OH MY GOD IT ALL HURTS SO MUCH!
God bless each and every one of you hurting and grieving survivors. That is what you and I are, survivors. God bless all of you.

sometimes it takes knowing that others are going thru the same pain as you for you to be able to release your pain and somewhat move on. i posted in one of my journals that i cried all the way to work and home everyday when i was alone. and another mother told me that she thought she was the only one who did that. it was nice to know that there was others going thru the same thing.

I hurt evertime I hear of a young person dying from od, since I have experienced this pain I have so much more sympathy for others. I just can't imagine how painful it must be to know someone took my child's life. I often wonder how I have survived for the past 16 years.

I think you should scream!!!!.. There were 2 occassions just last month which I felt surely I was being over-dramatic and behaving in a way which boardered on theatrical if not insanity. But, in retrospect.... it is what allowed all the penned up frustration, anger, despair and hopelessness to have a voice. I will share the second occasion. As Carlo (see my profile) lay lifeless and limp, drooling with no detectable heartbeat or breath in my husbands arms, I could see the blood staining my husband's shirt. In the darkness of a power outage, we had no phone service and could not find the keys to our car to get him to the emergency room. As the moments ticked away and my husband ran with him to awaiting car, I screamed beyond what I thought could possibly come out of me... I didn't care if the whole neighborhood heard me, I wanted God to hear me. I wailed like a child until I became limp. I believe for a moment I was insane. Sick of mind and body and void of reason. I thought I would break into a million pieces and never be put back together.
I'd like to suggest two things.
Buy the book: You can feel Good Again by Richard Carlsen. - It will change your life. Rent or buy the movie... "What the Bleep do we know." It will provide a venue for you to carry on your relationship with your son in a parallel universe. This isn't fiction or sci-fi, it is the theory of Quantum Physics which is fact.
STAY STRONG!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
