About Me
retired teacher, mother of three children, one of whom died June 21, 2007. Six wonderful grandchildren by my two living children. A great, supportive husband.
Interests
I quilt, travel, and read everything I can about grief. I highly recommend "When the Bough Breaks Forever". Greg has a video that his friends put together on My Space.com under Greg Gengler. The voice is his as he spoke to anchors during news casts.

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ChildOur son died of a brain aneurism on June 21st. The grief is overwhelming. I seem to be crying day and night and constantly searching for answers. Help me please.
Treatments
- Crying Not Working
- less as time passes
- Grief Counseling Not Working
- Only once-a room filled with grieving people, not many with hope.
- Helping Others Working / Worked
- reaching out to others in grief has been healing for me.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Originally, the pain was too great to see the effect of prayer. Lately, reading the Bible and praying have produced amazing results.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Wonderfully supportive when groups are for grieving parents only.
- Talking Working / Worked
- If friends don't mention Greg, I do. I won't let them forget.
- Time Working / Worked
- I am a work in progress.
