i am new here...but not new to grief or email groups.
I have a lot of anger at the system, the world, god, the person who killed
my innocent 4 y/o child. His anniversary will be in a few days..4 years..pretty
  soon he will be gone longer than he lived. That sux. I have a lot of anger
and  wonder if there is anyone else out there that is sick of the religious
platitudes they hear and if they need a place to vent their anger..please email
me privately if you do. I really need to share my pain and grief with someone
  who understands and will not criticize.

Thank you all for your help with my search for new books to read. I
read Don't Kiss them goodbye. Thanks !!! IT was awesome, more books on
the list!

Now What I need from all of you wonderful people is�.some words to say
at the awards ceremony tonight. We are giving a scholarship to a
senior from my son Brandons Class. Brandon died in December 2004 and
was a huge car fan, and not a school fan, but loved the kids he was
friends with� Any help????


  I know this is last minute, but I didn't think it would be this hard
to come up with the words we need.

Sue and family

Hello Everyone,
the other night when i joined this group i was unsure as to what to say or
do..
It has been almost three months since our beautiful Mason passed away.  I
have been having problems getting answers from the Medical examiners office. NOw
they say we have to wait 10 more weeks for toxicology results.  Mothers day
has come and gone.. And all i could think about was my daughter's incomple
family without Mason. I really loved that child, and pray that i could help my
daughter through all of this.  Two years ago my step son was murdered.  And i
just
feel the pressure keep piling on.  I have gotten really involved in SIDS...
and have been trying to help my children.. Thanks for letting me say what i
have to say..
God bless each and everyone of you, and yours
Denzell

hello to all I have been reading and not really been emailing GOD  it  has
been 12 years(2/3/77   11/17/93) since I also lost my son to  suicide in my head
  I don't think it has been  that long  I am  sitting  here thinking what the
he---  do I have to say who cares but  I know here people really do, back in
December I had chest pains I had just lost  my job with the city any way I went
to the doctor and they did a EKG kept me  over night  and then told me to
follow up with a stress test well my  benefits ran out so I have not been able
to
go and get the test, in two week I  will have  my benefits (June 1st) I have
a appointment for that day at  5:30  lately I have not been feeling well I
don't say anything because well  what is the sense   but  maybe sometimes I
wonder if it is not my  heart that is still breaking maybe I sound crazy, I
don't
know but   God I miss my son so much.  Thank you all really I guess with my
youngest  my daughter  birthday coming up this week on  Monday  she will be 25
WOW. she has come thru a lot  and i am proud of her to  this day though it
really amazes  me that this has really happened to  me,   thank you
Margaret  Michael and  Marlo  mother  always

I feel like I'm rushing into things too soon. We are in counseling
(my children and I). I'm trying my best but somedays it seems like
nothing can help us. Today I let my kids stay home from school, it
is hard for them to be there. Teachers and other staff seem
understanding but at times they don't. My 10 year old has ran out of
class because some kids are singing down the hallway "Shiloe is
dead!" Kids are cruel I guess. It makes me wonder what they are
being taught at home. It makes me angry that these little kids are
so happy about her death.
   Around here we are sad most of the time. Yes we still laugh and
try to be normal. Today we are going to take a break and allow
ourselves to grieve. It has only been 1 month and 14 days. All this
pain is unreal sometimes. At times I'm so overwhelmed, trying to
take care of everyone and everything. I feel like I can't even work
on myself because everyone else needs me. I take care of my grandma,
my parents, my kids, our pets, the house. Staying busy helps me not
to go crazy but sometimes I just want to get away from it all.
    I try to pray alot and I know God is helping me through this. I
think God knows that if we had to deal w/ all the pain at once it
would kill us. That must be why the pain comes in stages. So many
emotions, it is exhausting.
        Thanks for listening and sending your support. I hope you all
have a good day and may God bless you and yours.

I don't have a magical solution. If I did I would have taken it
myself.

I just wanted to say that your story sounds so very, very familiar.
In my case all I need to do is to change "daughter" to "son".

Yes, there are folk here who will truly recognise and understand some
of what you are going through just now.

Gina,
    I found this poem on Heavenly Lights Memorial Grief
& Memorial Poetry. There is a link through our group.
It really hit home with the way I feel. Maybe you
could find info there. I hope your day is good. Take
care.

I have always wanted to be an organ donor, until my experience at the hospital

did the things he did for my sons organs and he kept using words like "you don't
have a choice" and that made me angry.  My son was hurt and he told me that I
didn't have much say about anything.  So I felt that I had to not only spend
what few moments I had let with my son, but also worry if there was something
eelse that could have been done.  I just feel horrible period.  I want to become
more involved with organ donation and the way that the option is presented to

Regina, I would like to know more about your experience, particularly being a
donor.  That is something that I believe in however my experience was horrible
at the hospital of course it was expected to be horrible but some of the
hospital staff made it worse...  Please tell me more if  and when you can.

Sometimes this thinking helps me....
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the
operating
room. She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right?
When
can I see him?"

The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't
make it.."

Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any
more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?"

The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One
of
the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the
university."

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good-bye to son.
She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.

"Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked.

Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a
plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's
idea to donate his body to the university for study. He said it might
help somebody else. "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't
be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend
one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold.
Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he
could."

Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for the last time, after
spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with
Jimmy's
belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was
difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried
Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to
her
son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal
things
back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down
across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed
was a folded letter. The letter said:

"Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will
ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say
I
LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday
we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little
boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room
and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead,
she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to
buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking
about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as
soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long
time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them
fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures.
Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see
GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him,!
like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to
write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already
knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some
paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think
Gabriel
is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you.
God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you
asked
Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said He was in the same
place
with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as
He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you.
To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool?
I
have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names
in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for
supper. I'm, sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is
all
gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God
couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The
Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery!
How about that?

Signed with Love from: God, Jesus & Me.

Let's see Satan stop this one. Take 60-seconds and send this to five
other people, within the hour, you will have caused a multitude of
believers to pray to God for each other. Then sit back and feel the
Holy
Spirit work in your life for doing what you know God loves

even started and I am a bit afraid to.  My heart goes out to you.
Love,
Theresa

seem to come one right after another these days. They sent me digital
photos and they were nice � but all to real! Just really digs the
heartache in even deeper! I had better go, not enough tissues in this
box to last the afternoon.

This is such a weird feeling to be sad not see Brandons gravestone,
and sad to see it also. I guess it is a jealousy thing, they get to
see it and I don't because I am 5 hours away.

joy for 16 years 4 months and 1 day that I did.  Then I went to her high
school, where some kids had painted Happy Birthday Sarah We love you on the
rock they paint on. Today they are putting balloons in all her classrooms.

I will love my Sarah forever and celebrate each birthday.

   Wow, I couldn't have said it any better. I miss my 16 yr old baby girl so
terribly much.  The hurt is still very real as she has only been gone for 5
months. I often ask myself if I could just turn back the hands of time would
she still be here, would it be different???

Theresa,

I am so sorry you were treated the way you were at the hosp.  What state do you
live in?  I have links on Joseph's webpage to organ donation sites.  If you need
any further info just email me.

Regina,
I have always wanted to be an organ donor, until my experience at the hospital
with my son. Now I feel bad about the choices that I made; see we (he and I
never talked about his wishes).  The Doctor was horrible, I felt like he only
did the things he did for my sons organs and he kept using words like "you don't
have a choice" and that made me angry.  My son was hurt and he told me that I
didn't have much say about anything.  So I felt that I had to not only spend
what few moments I had let with my son, but also worry if there was something
eelse that could have been done.  I just feel horrible period.  I want to become
more involved with organ donation and the way that the option is presented to
families, who are already involved in horrible situations. Thank you for sharing
with me, and I am so happy that you were able to share.

Love,
Theresa

I have no regrets in donating his organs.  It has given me a little bit of a
sense of peace.  Knowing that through my tragedy I was able to help 3 others
with a second chance at life.  It is a difficult time for me this month, with
the anniv. and all coming up.  I am doing a walk/run on sat in his memory for
Life Gift.  Ask any  questions and I will try to answer them or find out for
you.

knows best.  I just pray for his (((GOD'S))) Strength.

Regina, I would like to know more about your experience, particularly being a
donor.  That is something that I believe in however my experience was horrible
at the hospital of course it was expected to be horrible but some of the
hospital staff made it worse...  Please tell me more if  and when you can.

Sometimes this thinking helps me....
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the
operating
room. She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right?
When
can I see him?"

The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't
make it.."

Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any
more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?"

The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One
of
the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the
university."

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good-bye to son.
She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.

"Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked.

Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a
plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's
idea to donate his body to the university for study. He said it might
help somebody else. "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't
be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend
one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold.
Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he
could."

Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for the last time, after
spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with
Jimmy's
belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was
difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried
Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to
her
son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal
things
back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down
across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed
was a folded letter. The letter said:

"Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will
ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say
I
LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday
we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little
boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room
and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead,
she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to
buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking
about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as
soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long
time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them
fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures.
Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see
GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him,!
like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to
write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already
knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some
paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think
Gabriel
is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you.
God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you
asked
Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said He was in the same
place
with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as
He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you.
To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool?
I
have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names
in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for
supper. I'm, sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is
all
gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God
couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The
Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery!
How about that?

Signed with Love from: God, Jesus & Me.

Let's see Satan stop this one. Take 60-seconds and send this to five
other people, within the hour, you will have caused a multitude of
believers to pray to God for each other. Then sit back and feel the
Holy
Spirit work in your life for doing what you know God loves

Hi all,
I hope that you all are having a decent day.  Hey, I  was explaining to my
fiance how much these online groups help me, and he asked why don't we have a
chat group.  This is something that I would really like.  I have tried
compassionate friends and I cannot get in.  I know that you can create your own
groups.  Can we do that?  Create a chat group for ourselves on yahoo  where we
can invite others and when we need to talk we can go into our chat room with
others?  I have also though about IM but I am not sure of the rules, but if you
all can IM me sometimes so that I will know it is okay.  Just a thought.



Love,



Theresa

Happy Birthday Sarah!
This is so true.  You are in my thoughts and prayers, may your day be filled
with joyous memories.



Love,



Theresa

today would have been Sarah's 17th birthday.  I still think its a day to
celebrate, not to mourn.  Because without today, I would not have had her
joy for 16 years 4 months and 1 day that I did.  Then I went to her high
school, where some kids had painted Happy Birthday Sarah We love you on the
rock they paint on. Today they are putting balloons in all her classrooms.

I will love my Sarah forever and celebrate each birthday.

   Wow, I couldn't have said it any better. I miss my 16 yr old baby girl so
terribly much.  The hurt is still very real as she has only been gone for 5
months. I often ask myself if I could just turn back the hands of time would
she still be here, would it be different???

Today would have been my Emily's one month celebration
day. I'm having a harder time with this than mother's
day... maybe because I have the chance to spend
mother's day with children some year, I'll never spend
a celebration day with Emily.
