But your feelings are rational. We've all had them. They just seem unusual because this is a tragic and sudden thing that has happened to you, to me, to many of us. I remember anger at those who were enjoying life and guilt when I finally…
Shelly!
You are too kind. Its incredible, huh? The one thing I knew that I could never survive was the death of one of my child. Let any unimaginable illness, injury or crime happen to me and I could endure, but never touch my child. But I think…
Thank you. You know I've lost grandparents, I lost a parent but losing a child is so much more a physical, spiritual, emotional, etc. loss. When I read other stories of loss that pain comes right back. I donated my son's clothes yesterday.…
Hi Shelly,
I am so sorry to see that you, like me, have lost a child. I'm not sure I can think of a worse fate for a mom than to outlive her child. I know that it was always the nightmare thought that I kept at arm's length...not too…

I am so sorry to see that you, like me, have lost a child. I'm not sure I can think of a worse fate for a mom than to outlive her child. I know that it was always the nightmare thought that I kept at arm's length...not too close to think about, but close enough to keep my eye on.
I hope that you can find some measure of peace here, someone to talk to or share with or just a space to share how incredible and wonderful and original your child is and was. I would be honored to read your story when you want to share it.
With gentle care,
Kim

Let any unimaginable illness, injury or crime happen to me and I could endure, but never touch my child. But I think that this is what mom's do - we keep walking. I knew my other 2 children needed me. Kevin's friends and his very special girlfriend needed help along the way, also. The more I kept walking this path (I saw a movie one time about the Bataan Death march and that is what I picture in my head every time I picture this) the more I discovered people that could help me and people I could help.
It is so wonderful to be in touch with another mom.
Thank you,
Kim
