I agree with you Lethercrixx. Your grief is young and I do know how it hurts. Brianna has left you with beautiful memories and you should wrap yourself around them.

I think about you and parents who have just lost their children and I grieve also.

Today I was coming home from work on the bus and was having a conversation with a man - I do not know how the conversation changed but it did - I found out that his son had been stabbed and left fro dead onthe streets. He showed me the news clippings as tears rolled off his cheeks. I hugged him as I could feel the pain, the fear, the disbelief in his eyes. Of course, people stared b ut I knew they could never know the feeling that was going through this young man's heart and mind.
Take heart I extend my hands and I wish you a peaceful journey.

Daff, I really believe the Angels are at work and know that one grieving parent can help another. Last year I was on a train from De to Atlanta and my seat mate was a nice man who let me have the window seat. We started chatting and he told me that his son had recently died of a drug overdose. He was so sad as he told me about his son and the grandson he left behind for this man and his wife to care for. When I shared that I too had lost a child and understood his pain he hugged me and we spent a lot of the trip talking about grief and how he could help his wife through this tragedy.
I really think the Angels are watching over us and using us to help others.

I agree with both Lost and Daff, because I shop at the local Walmart and because we are there so often we have gotten to know a lot of the store employees. One lady in particular we seemed to be drawn to her line so over the course of two maybe three weeks we would talk about my kids and shopping for them. One night we were in her line and I don't ususally do this but I mentioned that we probably would not be in our hometown if my son had not died, well she looked at me and said "You lost your son" and I said yes almost regretting it because people shy away from you when they learn you have lost a child, but she said, "I lost two of my sons..." We stood there for a long time talking and sharing our experiences. Now whenever I go into the store I look for her and we always embrace each other because we share that bond. No, no one understands but it's OK because we do. God puts people in our lives for different reasons and he puts US in other people's lives for those reasons as well. We are all on this journey together. Blessings to you all.
