    About Me

    I am a 41 single woman who has raised 4 children alone and have been blessed with 8 beautiful grandkids. I am a supervisor for a packaging company. I live alone and enjoy my grandkids, the outdoors, and riding motorcycles. I just lost my oldest daughter in Feb and it is tearing our family apart. I really miss her dearly but she has left me 3 grandchildren who I see so much of her in them.

      Type: Loss of a Child

      I am a single mother who has raised her kids and just recently lost my oldest daughter in Feb of 2007. My best friend, my right hand person, my first born. She just turned 25 in July and was not even here to celebrate. She has left me 3 beautiful grandchildren who I see her through them. It just hurts me to know they were there when it happened and they will live with that memory forever. I worry so much about my other three kids. Dealing on a daily basis and hoping to see a light soon.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      After almost a year the tears just come and yes it does help somewhat.
      Getting Angry Not Working
      I use to yell at god, but I don't do that anymore. I just ask him to give her a hug for me. Being angry isn't solving anything.
      Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
      Staying busy just helps my mind stay occupied with something else
      Music Too Soon to Tell
      I listen to alot of the music we listened to together.
      Prayer Somewhat Helpful
      I ask for strength for myself, her children, her husband, and my other children. Sometimes I can hear her tell me shes okay.
      Remembering Not Working
      I have to remember her. She is everything to me.
      Scrapbooking Too Soon to Tell
      I have posted her on the legacy.com with the paper so people can write and one day I will print them out and make her kids a scrap book. I have also make a dvd with her pictures. We are still in the process of finishing. One day we would like to use it for a slideshow. I still can't bring myself to look at pictures.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      The DS site has been helpful and also a group I attend once a month.
    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      My son was dignoised bipolar when he was 11 years old. I have been through alot with him, and now that he is 21 years old he feels he does not need medication. He has been looking at time in prison and while in jail we lost his big sister. He has changed and I am afraid he will snap one day soon. His two sisters are worried and concerned as well.

      Treatments

      Depakote Somewhat Helpful
      He took this when he was younger. I have always noticed a difference when he was on meds.
      Group Therapy Not Working
      He does not like talking in a group. He does not want to admit there is anything wrong.
    • Open Heart Failure

      My daughter passed away suddenly due to her heart so they telll me. They said it was an enlarged heart. She never complained and as far as I know it is not genetic. I want to learn all I can about the heart so I can understand what happened to her.

    • Open Congenital Heart Disease
      Type: Other

      My 24 year old daughter died Feb 9, 2007 due to an enlarged heart. Very sudden, and we had no clue there was anything wrong with her. I spoke to her that morning and she took her baby to the doctor and she sounded fine, to find when I got off work she was gone. Worse day of my life, and will never be the same.

    • Open Hepatitis C

      I was told in 1995 I had Hepatitis C. No treatment as of yet but have been referred for the interferon program and the UK center. I could not afford it of course. I am still okay even though I tire real easy.
