Guests Guest Trista's_Mom Posted June 12, 2014 Guests Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and Laurie, thank you for lighting that candle. After that call and sitting here waiting for my husband I was so overwhelmed. My Gramma is ok. Her foot is broken in three places. Her ankle is broken and she’s sore and bruised but she’s going to be ok. She sees an orthopedic surgeon in a couple of days. She can’t walk without the use of a walker which she’s not happy about at all. She had 6 year old, Emily in the car too. Em has a bruised cheek and some abrasions from the seat belt. It could have been so much worse. Her brakes failed on interstate in heavy traffic. The nurses and doctor told her she must have a guardian Angel. She will be staying with us for a while. She lives with my Great Aunt who is recovering from hip replacement surgery. No way they can care for each other right now. The woman who takes care of everyone else is going to have to let us take care of her for a bit. The nurse looked at me when we left and said, “Has she always been an overachiever?” I’m relieved but I am so drained being so worried for my Grandma and of course the place this took me back to. So much panic and anxiety. Just knowing that prayers were being sent helped a lot while I was sitting in the hospital. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SamDsmom Posted June 12, 2014 Members Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Shannon, I haven't been able to get here for several days. Just snuck on really quick and saw your post about your gramma. I'm so sorry. That must have been horrible for her and you both. In my prayers. I hope to get back later to see what else I've missed.

Members ericasmom Posted June 13, 2014 Members Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Shannon, I am so relieved that your Gramma is going to be fine. I know that this put your emotions and adrenaline in overdrive...I sure do get that. And now you are watching over another child in your home. Goodness knows that you have been a person of huge heart and an open door. Sleep well knowing that Gramma's mind is at rest with your keeping that little one with you. Lora, I am glad for your day off tomorrow. The date is such a hard one I know. Forgetful? I get very forgetful in July, our angelversary month, just do, we are preoccupied in that living with one foot here and one in our memories. You do what is most comfortable to your heart tomorrow. Cara will be smiling on you and holding your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lovU2themoon Posted June 13, 2014 Members Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Cara Cara Carasaying your name out loud today!! Sending loving hugs to your momma. Trying to gather all my thoughts about the Afterlife awareness conference, so many things went on, so many amazing speakers, it truly was something to absorb and think about.Being around 400 people who 100% know our loved ones are with us, showing us signs, guiding us, very powerful.and those that teach us a new way to grief, a new way to look upon dying and death, soul contracts, that teach ego vs soul, what the ego does for/to deathwhat the soul does to/for death, so much.I will give you the links to some of the most memorable speakers. I will post as i remember and get the audio and video links to review, very difficult to remember everything!! http://www.tomzuba.com/http://www.embracingdeath.net/http://blessingsbyroland.com/http://drparisetti.com/ (Tom Zuba and myself meeting for the first time, Lindsay crying as she was so moved by his lecture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ericasmom Posted June 14, 2014 Members Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Lora, I so know the exhaustion that comes with the ache of loss and those dates that will come each year. Body and mind work together so no matter what, our bodies and spirits know the time. They are our time keepers, letting us know that we are nearing 365 days past a certain point. Amazing connection. Not unlike the other miracles in nature; salmon coming back to lay eggs in the same stream they were hatched, turtles making their nests on the same beach where they emerged...birth, our babies, our parents, all connected in a cycle and in a circle of events. Love to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mysonrich Posted June 14, 2014 Members Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Remembering Cara today with her beautiful smile and sparkle in her eyes. I hope your Mom takes some comfort from this poem as I do. “I am standing upon the seashore.A ship at my side spreads her whitesails to the morning breeze and startsfor the blue ocean.She is an object of beauty and strength.I stand and watch her until at lengthshe hangs like a speck of white cloudjust where the sea and sky cometo mingle with each other.Then, someone at my side says;"There, she is gone!""Gone where?"Gone from my sight. That is all.She is just as large in mast and hulland spar as she was when she left my sideand she is just as able to bear herload of living freight to her destined port.Her diminished size is in me, not in her.And just at the moment when someoneat my side says, "There, she is gone!"There are other eyes watching her coming,and other voices ready to take up the gladshout;"Here she comes!"

Members Jeff's Mom Posted June 14, 2014 Members Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I read this just now in our local paper. A memoriam to a young man. His picture and smile caught my eye. The words are so beautiful and I wanted to share it with you. If death could be seen as a beautiful clear lake, refreshing and buoyant, then when consciousness moves towards its exit from a body there would be that delightful plunge and it would simply swim away. Free at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shorty16 Posted June 14, 2014 Members Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 To all the Dad's on Fathers Day,I am posting early, because I want to ensure the Dads here realize their importance in their child's life. My father was not involved in my life when I was young and he still is not, his choice.Because of this, I wanted to ensure that the person I marry wanted to be a Dad. I must say, my husband is a wonderful father and my kids are very lucky.The Dads on here are also great Fathers and their worth cannot be underestimated. Dad's lead by example and will play tea-party and football in the same day.May the Fathers on this site know how crucial they are to their child well-being. And that being a Father does not stop after our child dies.Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads on this site. You are and forever will be your child's Dad.Colleen, Brian's Mother forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeff's Mom Posted June 14, 2014 Members Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm changed and different from before. I go through the motions of living, but the essence of innocence and happiness has left me. I can't seem to find it. I have searched in all corners. His death still does not seem possible at times. Time passes quickly but I feel locked in a time warp of a kind. I catch glimmers of happiness here and there and there are definitely good days. But they still hold an emptiness. Does it ever really get better? This journey is exhausting and I so crave the chance to have a break from it. Today we walked in an area where young kids were playing. The sounds of the children instantly brought back memories to those days long gone of Jeff and his friends doing exactly the same thing. Nothing has changed and yet everything. This hurts like hell. You can't make reason out of something that does not make sense. It takes a ton of effort to climb back up on that horse and keep going. Today I am content to lie on the ground and look up at the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mermaid Tears Posted June 14, 2014 Members Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Kate...you do have to know at some level that your friend does not have a tight grasp on 'reality'....we, too, have lost dogs that were simply a part of the fabric of our family....and I, too, have wondered about people that can equate the loss of a pet....with the loss of a child...they have one wheel off the road.... with that said....yes...this grief journey certainly has some barren spots to travel...and we have no answers...we do have each other....that understands every emotion...every heartache you are experiencing...there is enough dark days...I hope you and Ross can find a soft spot....and just rest awhile....and look up at that sky...
