Thank you all so much for all the replies. I cried for the first time in a long while but I felt relief after. I think I am getting close to being able to go to cemetery. Thank you all so much!

Susan, Welcome to our group. I am of course sorry for anyone who has to join us. However, I believe that you will find us to be a very supportive, loving and caring group. Please feel free to post anytime. We would love to get to know you and your angel.

A big hug and a welcome to a group full of mothers just like you. I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter on October 10th. Know that we all here share the pain with you an understand. If you feel like it and want to write and share your daily experiences please do so. As our banner says we will make the journey with you.

First I want to welcome all the new members, this month Brianna will be gone 4 months. I miss her so much, No-one should ever have to go through this....I do not think there is a pain that could compare.

This afternoon while going through pictures and memorabilia concerning my daughther's death I found this poem my wife had clipped from a 'Dear Abby' column. If may have been posted in this group before but I think it bears repeating.

PARENTS:

I’ll lend you for a little time, a child of mine, He said,
For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,
You’ll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all t he joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may;
And for the happiness we’ve known, will ever grateful stay.
But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.

- Edgar A. Guest

Happy birthday, my funny, happy, full of life beautiful girl. You should have turned 22 today - still in the beginning of your life. Your sisters and I celebrated your life with a group of your friends today. They shared some happy memories with us. It was a relief to be around people that were not afraid to mention your name. People that miss you and knew you and loved you. I hope you know how many people cared about you. I don't think you realized it before.

I try so hard to think of happy times...........celebrate you life. That sounds so right. It really was nice to hear the stories.....the funny happy times. But to be honest Rachel.........I am still just so sad. Crushed. In disbelief. I miss you. I want this to be a big mistake. Just a nightmare. I pretend to be moving forward.......I think it makes others more comfortable.

I love you and you will live on in my heart for as long as I live.

I miss you..............I wish I could give you a big birthday hug.

My 9 year old brother told me today that I was a bad mom for letting my daughter die. It's crazy what they say when they don't understand.
