    About Me

    I just lost my daughter Heather April 6, 2007. Heather was a vivacious 11 yr old with lots of hopes & dreams. She lived everyday to the fullest. She was killed in a automobile accident. I have a 6yr. old son. I am currently not working. I lost both of my jobs when my daughter passed on. I am looking for a place where I can find support, and people that understand what it's like to lose a child. I feel lost, confused, and alone.

    Interests

    I love to read, write, journal, my son is my life, and there is nothing more important to me than being the best mother that I can be. I want to raise my son to be a wonderful man. I enjoy Lifetime. I am really an addict of it lol! I like the outdoors and traveling (not that I can afford to much of that) but I love to get on the road and just go!! I dream of being able to go on a cruise one day, and I want to go to Hawaii as well. My daughter dreamed of going there, and even got on line and planned her entire trip for when she would go!! I am sure that it was one of the first places she went in her new life.

      Type: Loss of a Child

      I lost my 11 yr. old daughter in a car accident April 6, 2007. She was suppose to be with me (it was legally my week-end) they took her anyway. She died instantly, and she was asleep when the accident happened. I can't seem to move forward, and I don't feel like anyone can understand how I feel. And I am tired of hearing I'm sorry, she is in a better place, ect. That doesn't bring me peace. I just want my baby back!!

      Treatments

      Crying Too Soon to Tell
      Everyday I cry at least once. I feel a little better afterwards, but it don't solve my problems. It doesn't help me to move forward.
      Grief Counseling Too Soon to Tell
      Just starting on September 24th so I don't know yet.
      Music Working / Worked
      My friend made a CD when Heather died, and it helps me feel better sometimes.
      Poetry Working / Worked
      I really like to write. I have expressed myself through poetry since I was a teenager.
      Scrapbooking Working / Worked
      Helps me remember the good times more than the bad.
      Ambien Working / Worked
      The Ambien helps quite a bit, without them I wouldn't be able to sleep at all. The xanax helps when Heather takes over my thoughts and I can't breath. I try not to take them unless I really need to though.
