Today I received a letter from Colin's girlfriend. She's the one who found him 5-1/2 years ago. I only ran into her briefly at a store one time in the last...
My father died in 1989 of Aea. I was 7 at the time, so my mother told me he choked. He left behind 5 kids. I finally was told the truth 6 years ago when I...
My father was a medic in the army. He was and still is my hero. He had 5 children with my mother. Heather, Joseph, Heidi (me), April and Ben.I remeber, the...
Heidi, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Drinking usually is not involved with AeA. At least not in any of the cases I've read about so I don't...

My father was extremelly drunk. His alcohol level exceded the legal limit by far. He ended up passing out b/c he was so drunk. When they found him, he had a...
Alma, You're brilliant!!!! This is the best explanation of AeA that I have ever heard. Thank you!!!! MeLinda ahat@... wrote: Dear Heidi, My 17 year old...

Hang in there. Soon she will come around and relize it will help to see you guys. I cant imagine my life without my son. My g-ma lost 2 out of 3 children and...
Dianna, I know just what you mean!! For example today I went to the cemetary to take down the Christmas decorations. I cried and cried I miss Neal so much....
Maybe alcohol does play a bigger role than I have read about. Neal had nothing in his system and they tested for everything. That's what makes it so hard on...

I am disapointed. I am married to a man who is addicted to sex. When he cant get it he automatically turns to the computer. It made me relize that some men...

MeLinda, If you see something Neal would like or something that reminds you of him, BUY IT! I'm sure he would love it if you did. and it will give you some...

Carol, I'm so torn between keeping things the "same" or starting all over. For instance I go back and forth about Neal's bedroom. Although I have cleaned it...
MeLinda, I've kept Steve's room the same. I'm saving his clothes for Matt, who is starting to be able to wear the shirts. Tom wears some of his things also....
--MeLinda, this is how it was for me after Jason died. (Remember, I moved away 10 months after he died, when my husband and I separated, then divorced). I...
I'm so glad you told me about the q-tip because I found on Neal's desk some fingernail clippings and I've kept those in a baggie. I was afraid to tell anyone...
It's nice and comforting to know what I'm feeling and what I'm doing is "normal" and you have experienced it all. I keep thinking I'm crazy for keeping weird...
MeLinda, It will be 5 years this coming March 13 that Dalton died. We really have not done much with Dalton's room. We did take his bed down and gave away...
Bill, I think it would be great to have the get together out west this time. Of course we will have to liquor Carol up to get her on a plane. hahahahaha...
Bill, Your counselor was very right. Ours told us pretty much the same thing. The day we found Steve me, Matt and Jenny refused to go back up there. We found...
I would fly out in a heartbeat! As much as I hate flying, I'd do it. I have Xanax hahahahaha You said it right, people who never walked in our shoes are sudden...
