I guess I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all in this community for allowing me to share my survival of the suicide of my son nearly 9 years ago now.
ALL this time...I have barely spoken of that day because of the inner pain and the non-understanding looks and comments from those who just can't grasp the enormous hurt you feel...right up to the day of your own death.
December is my HELL month reliving that awful call from my ex...sobbing like I had never heard do in 22 years of marriage.
I hear the words, feel myself crashing to the floor in screams as I struggled to make sense of what I was being told...replay the nightmare of each day as I planned his memorial. Until now..I couldn't bare to deal with it...even think I could get through another year with him gone. But now...this year thanks to ALL OF YOU...I can REALLY call myself SURVIVOR!!!
I just had to stop and say THANK YOU and BLESS YOU ALL as we share an awful bond through this holiday season. But it is an bond of love, support and understanding.
Bless you all!

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...
As this is my first Christmas season of grieving, things are difficult enough. Emotions run high at times. I am most sure that your own set of emotions outweigh mine.
So, I'm so proud of you finding your moment of being able to overcome. May you continue to overcome, with each year that passes.
Keep moving forward and LIVE!
