Journal Entry for April 26, 2007 Mood
Thursday, April 26, 2007
I find that it is torture looking at young people around the same age as my son(24).They are so full of life,focused on achieving their career goals,so energetic and enthusistic.Our house used to be full of young people,cellphones always ringing,making plans for the evening,discussing their careers and dreams or just chilling.Now the house is like a mausoleum...gloomy and silent...just like us.The only sound is that of the t.v.It was such a pleasure watching him grow into a man,mature in his thinking,his dream job(after a degree in Informatio Systems followed by an MBA in Finance)was to begin in June.And now..we have gone back 24 yrs in life.Back to ZERO.

    Totally understand ,I have the same feelings, its so hard to see all of Ashley's friends out and about going on with their lives and geting ready to graduate,it hurts so bad ,she was getting ready to go to college, was going into pre-vet I was so excited when she decided to go into that field ,I didnt want to influence her so I kept my mouth shut,then I thought that would be so cool I could work beside her now all those dreams are gone.....hoping for better days..take care

    Sorry Reena! Wish I could say more I too am in so much pain. And I know losing a child has to be the absolute worst.I didn't think it was possible to feel this bad and still survive. Nothing helps and nothing anyone can do makes it better. But I am with you in your pain.

    Thats how I feel when I see a couple our age walking through the mall holding hands, Laughing happily as they have there dinner, on and on. That should be us we worked hard at being married and raising our children and we should have gotten to retire and do our traveling and spoil our grandkids together! I understand your anger. Mine is a different anger and not nearly as bad as to deal with losing a precious child with a future to live for. But I really do feel and understand your pain, your anger and your complete devastation.

    oh, my sweet Reena, You are in so much pain I know. I hurt like no tomarrow, but I can not say we have went back 18 years because I have sweet memories of my child. I know my son as well as your's would never want us to give up or go back in time. We had and contunue have the best son's in world and in Heaven. Please find some peace, looke deep into your heart for the love you have for your baby and that will give you some comfort. I am here and I love you and I will continue to ask for your peace and life. Hugs and love Melissa
