Members ericasmom Posted October 7, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Sherry, what a terrible thing to say to a Mom who lost her Child. Goodness, there is nothing more needed than a hug or an I am so sorry for your loss. I think people try to let us know how they are feeling it as we travel it, but it rarely translates well. Calebsmom, such a horrible way to respond to your loss and her son's. Again, saying nothing and giving a hug would go a long way to lending support.Trudi, wherever you are, I am praying you are well, safe, and feeling loved. I heard there was yet another earthquake that hit near Australia, so please let us know if your area was affected. I hope that today on a walk with Muttley, you felt the amazing peace of Michael. For some reason, I thought of him and his beautiful smile throughout the afternoon.Kathy, 36 years, wow Sweetie that is amazing. Congrats to you and Hubby. Have fun camping, may the weather hold nicely.Carol, yes, your Grandboy and his Dad song. That is nice, both that his other Grammy knew to make him think twice, and that he is a believer. The song adn the story are enough to melt my heart.Terrie, what sadness they are dealing with, I am so sorrry. Mike Stegler, let go quickly perhaps on your own so that those that love you most do not have to wonder if it was time. God bless their hearts as they are broken now, again. Please bless them with some sense of peace as brothers meet again.Go to the light Mike, listen to the voices sending you off on this great journey, they are crying for who they will miss, not for where you are traveling.Peace in this time,dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members summergirl Posted October 7, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Terri - my prayers are with Tatoo Mike - I am so sorry that the family is having to face such an unbearable quest of having to stop all medicine/machines - I can not imagine. Of course all of our Angels will greet him if God should choose to take him from this earth. I totally believe that all who are here have been guided to this site by our children, they see the grieving, pain, heartache we endure each moment of our lives and they have come together to lead us to each other. Prayers, my friend.Thanks for the congrats - yes 36 years is a long time - more than half my life !!! LOL Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daniellemom Posted October 8, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Terri – My prayers are with Mike and his family. All of our angels will greet him when the time is right.Sherri – How could any mother say that to another mother. Some people are just so stupid. I know I shouldn’t say that but Hello!!Kathy – Congrats on the 36 Years! Amanda - Praying for your results to be perfect. The baby showers sounds like so much fun. I know I told everyone about my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary party on Saturday night but it was so much fun I just wanted to let everyone know that I smiled and laughed and didn’t feel guilty. Danielle would have had a blast. But she was there in spirit. Sunday will be the 2 year mark since I have talked to my baby, hugged her. We would stay up late at night on the weekends and talk for hours and laugh and eat popcorn. Such sweet memories.Dee – Mattie is coming right along in school this year. The teacher is expecting them to behave so guess what Mattie is loving it and her Math is now on course with my standards after talking with the teaching and getting a book from her to help me with her Math. Thanks for your advise.Lorri – I cried when I read what Kourtney wrote. There was nothing you could have done earlier. You did everything you could have done. Mostly loving her!Marcia – Glad to see you. I take it all your paperwork has been completed.

Members daveydow1 Posted October 8, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Betty---Thank you for your kind words. You're a sweetie, and I wishyou peace & tranquility.Terrie---Remembering Tatoo Mike in my thoughts & prayers.Sonya---Yes, some people are so very ignorant. I know that this womanI spoke of really loved her only son, but a simple "I'm sorry" would havebeen better. I have not seen her for years---no word from her whenDavey passed----just as well. She would probably come up with someother ignorant remark. You sure find out who your true friends are whenyou lose a child.....don't you agree? Peace, friend.Lorrie----I'm sorry you are having a rough time of it. As far as the peoplewho only came to the hospital 3 times, when your Kourtney was so ill----well, as I said to Sonya......You find out who your true friends are (or aren't)when you lose a child. The true ones stick by you.....the 'lukewarm' ones willmost likely 'fade' and won't come through, and will drift off , so the friendshipobviously didn't mean that much to them. Peace & comfort.

Members heartbeataway Posted October 8, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi guys,Don't have time to go back and read all the posts but I did scan and wanted to say a couple of things:Tattoo Mike ...... praying for strength Kathy .... Happy anniversaryAmanda, enjoy your shower. It's definitely different! Lorri, I'm not defending Debbie & Co. but could it be that hospital visits were traumatic in some way after having lost a loved one who was hospitalized? You have to do what your heart tells you to do. And that doesn't make you a mean person. Just remember also that when you forgive, you do it for yourself, not for them.Today has been a little on the exhausting side and I haven't even done all that much ..... Be well,Bonnie, Jay's Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arc4ever Posted October 8, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Lorri:Just FYI: Mike Stegler (aka Tattoo Mike) was on his motorcycle and hit by driver who ran ran a stop light last Friday night. Hit and run. Mike is, I think 50 years old. His sister is a good friend of mine, we have know each other since we were about 11 years old (33 years of friendship!) She had another brother, Pete, who I dated briefly in high school. Pete and his three children died in a fire several years ago. A lot of suffering for this family. They were scheduled to remove Mike from "life support" this afternoon, I haven't received word since.And you are not a bad person, you are a human, you are a mother who lost her child and we sometimes have expectations that other people do not understand. We expect people to know we are not like others, we expect that if our children are in the hospital, people will care and the so-called friends will be there for us. We learn alot after we lose a child, and we learn who are our true friends and who are not. It is a blessing and a curse. I send my love to you.Terrie (Adam's mom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikesmum Posted October 9, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 These past days the 'abyss' opened and I tumbled down. Yesterday was the professional standards hearing for Mikes doctor. The only up side was at the commencement of the hearing the panel asked if it would be alright to call my son by his name.........Say his name, my heart broke and my tears fell. (Bonnie, I thought of you - saying their names out loud)On my way home I hit the local radio station for our area. I don't usually listen, but this came on. For all the mums & dads who's angelversary dates are upon them...Perhaps Love.......For Danielle, Mike, Ethan this month of October... for those who just had a memory or a thought that tugged at their heart...For you all.....

Members daniellemom Posted October 9, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Trudi – So sorry to hear that you find yourself in an 'abyss' I know all to well what that feels like. My prayers are with you as you listen at the hearing. I’m glad to hear that they will say Mike’s name!Marcia – I can only speak for me but I will hit the 2 year mark this Sunday and I’m not doing so well this week, but I have to say I don’t think year 3 will be as bad as year 2. Not sure why I guess maybe the 1st we are just in that fog and then start getting out of it and it’s no longer new the “first” without her, we are living with this now and learning to be the “new us”.Greg – Thanks for including our kids. I’m going to try to post a picture, it’s James’ (her brother’s) favorite picture of Danielle. But you all know I’m not so good at attaching pictures.Sonya (Danielle’s Mom)It takes so little to make me happy these days! I DID IT!!! I posted a picture!!! Sorry!

Members ericasmom Posted October 9, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Marcia, I am so glad that you like that song, it is truly one of my favorites. I promise that the third and fourth year will be softer, was for me and continues to soften with, of course, the once in a while drop into the pit. You will however, be delivered with more light, more of the silver sheen that accompanies our memories after some time passes. I promise.Greg, I will try to send that when I get home today, this computer does not allow for that. Thanks so much.dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonya, Danielle looks so pretty there, so HER> I know as you approach the date of her leaving, your heart hurts. I am walking ten steps ahead, feel free to walk in my footsteps and all those stepping just ahead of you.Last night, and for 5 nights, I have gone to my office to sleep. We have John's aunt and uncle over and Jhn gets rather loud sometimes, snoring, so I retreat to my office because the guest room is taken by aunt adn uncle. (they are lovely people). Anyhow, I have had a lot of insomnia lately, so I turned my light on to read last night, and my office is filled with photos of Eri and all of her cousins. So there she was, smiling from the bulletin board, amongst her favorite people, her brother and cousins. Smiling out. My heart ached, It's been so long Sweetie Girl, 6 years and counting and while I do not ache like I used to, while I know she is peaceful and free, I will always miss my Little Girl.Loving you My ERI.

Members daniellemom Posted October 9, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I had to share with you this poem my sister wrote. You left us here two years ago. In such a sudden way. We weren't prepared to say good bye and let you go away. You were the one that laughed the most, the one who loved the best. You were the one that sparked us all in your very special way.We miss you baby girl, much more than words can say, but know that we will see you again on that happy reunion day.The days drag by without you here, we struggle with it still. But, still we try to carry on and enjoy each one left behind. Our lives are forever changed not only because you're gone, but most of all because you were here.

I agree with Betty, 'because you were here.'Bett, love that photo of Stephen, packing his things, all the joy in the moment.love to all, gotta get out of here, this classroom was NUTS today, as was teh whole school, there are some issues here that are deeply disturbing to me. SO much standarized testing and I have opposed it. I stood up to say I will not do this first batch of testing when there is already so much testing and I am getting some flack, but if we just keep rolling over for all of this crap...I might as well just become a test facillitator. I spoke loudly and harshly to my boss and to the test-freak that works here and said, ""what do you think the parents will say when they find out that their children are being fit into numbered slots according to test scores rather than having enriching events. Goodness knows that these children need expereince with life, that is what transfers to great test scores, because we give them a broader base of knowledge through experience...I AM FRUSTRATED! This district, and more importantly, this school, (one of 10 in district) was always known for its ability to teach wondrous things through non traditional means and traditional means. NOW? Yikes, sorry had to blow off some steam. Off to the gym on this dark and rainy day...The great news of the day however, BARRACK OBAMA WINS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!!!!!!!

My husband will stay behind in our house and my daughter is a senior in college. I just think that my husband of 32 years and I need a break...does this make any sense to anyone?!

Members ericasmom Posted October 9, 2009 Members Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I am loving all the photos Guys, what dear and beautiful Children we have. I know that our Kids are rooting us on, cheering for us to continue moving up that huge mountain called grief...knowing that we can get to the top and be blessed with a different view, a new and more gentle place. We battle and then one day we realize that we are living on the mountain top, the struggle to breathe is no longer, we have a more consistent view of where we have been and we can appreciate what it took to get there, and we can reach down and help the next one up just as those ahead of us helped us. From here, I see and feel Erica more often, less encumbered by the weight of all the pain. Having left pieces of it along the path, never able nor willing to give it all up, I sit here and fill my spirit with the beauty of my Girl.Carol, love that you helped Mary, you are a wonder-woman, and Mary, I agree with Bonnie, I hope that you feel able to post whenever you like as you are a welcome sister to this family.Terrie, any word? dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
