Hello,

 

I am so sorry for the loss of your son.  I have never lost my own child, but my fiancee' lost his daughter June 17, 2009.  We lost our mother last year to TENS on May 10, 2008 and it is still so very hard.  I believe in my heart there is no stronger love than the love between parent and child - totally unconditional; so when either falls asleep in death, the devastation it brings is unbearable.  My heart goes out to you and your family.  Please, my personal email is jessie_upshaw@... and anytime you need to just use it.

 

I can offer you this, don't lose your faith in God; I got away from everything and everybody including our Lord and Saviour and that was a BIG mistake.  Pray all day and everday and please be assured that I will include you in mine.  When you feel the need to cry, scream, rant and rave - do it.  Isolation is not a good thing - and that is where I fell into a pit of darkness of almost no return.

 

Know that out of good intention people will say things that will cut you to the core - just forgive them and don't hold any comments close to you.  You will find this group to be a great source of strength for you.  Many are survivors, but don't let that deter you from being a part of the SJS family.  They have pulled through many a dark day.

 

Blessings,
