  1. Mary, thank you for posting this. So many think when you lose a child you "get over it" after a year or two. I always find that unbelievable as to how anyone could ever think such a thing, especially from those who have children of their own. This is a lifelong journey here. I carry it with me every day. What a loving mom you are. Your precious baby resting in the arms of Jesus.
  2. I am so sorry for your pain and especially your dear sister who is suffering the loss of her precious little girl. So wonderful to see your love and concern for your sister. You seem to be sensitive to her pain and that is how you will be a tremendous help to her. Never ignore her pain or her broken heart. Just be there. Let her know that no matter what you are there for her. She can always feel free to share her sorrow with you. Cover her and the family in prayer, as this crushes each family member. My heart goes out to the 12 year old who has lost a sibling. Grief is a long slow process especially the death of a child. I will be praying for you that God give you the strength, the love, the compassion to be the support your sister so needs. I will keep you all in prayer. Rose
  3. Hello Jesismom! Your post caught my eye because my little girl's name is Jessi and she is now 13 born in October. Not many spell Jessi with just the i at the end. First let me say how sorry I am for your loss of your only child. There are just no words good enough to express a tragedy like this. I know your heart is breaking and all you long for is your daughter. My son was taken from us instantly in a car wreck. He just turned 20 years old and one month later he was gone. A very special boy. IT was a dark night on an unfamiliar road that he was taking my nephew home and didn't see a stop sign and the curving of the road. His car hit into a ditch which sent the car airborn and hit into an old tree. Losing him has left our family so empty. My heart breaks new every day to just see him, to hear his sweet voice, to touch him. I am no longer the same. It's like when you lose a child you lose your identity as a mom. I was so lost inside. Time does not heal the pain or make it all vanish away. Only having our child back could do that. But time does help us to learn how to cope. We function, first like a robot it seems, just going through the motions with no feelings in it, but in time we learn how to cope with this new way of life, a life without our child. Of course we carry them in our hearts and oh how sweet it is to have a dream of them. At least in a dream you can see them and hear them. Writing was always a big part of my life and after this I just could not write but then I began slowly but at least I began. I am so glad I did. Journaling does help. You can get out a lot of emotions on paper. God helped me, even though I felt like God had vanished with my son, He had truly never left me and He is there for you too. He provides the strength needed to face each day. I planted a lot of flowers. Seemed like getting my hands into the soil helped me. Seeing the new flowers grow gave me peace somehow. Sitting at my son's grave I really felt the closest to God and felt peace there because there I was able to weep openly and talk openly to my son. Being part of a grief support helps also. Talking with others who truly understand this heartache, makes you feel you're not alone. Keep us posted on how you are doing. My heart goes out to you. ~rose~
