To mom5265 and colene

[heartsore]

Dear mom5265 and colene - I'm hoping that you're still here and reading the threads. I wanted to call attention to and share your first posts which were in the "testimonies needed" thread and may not have been seen by very many of us.

Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the loss of your sons. I am so sorry that you needed to find a place such as SG, but I am glad that you found us.

I'm going to quote your posts so others will see and will welcome you with open arms and an understanding of what you're going through. When you are up to it, please post about your sons in the "Come Share Your Child With Us" thread.

My 21 year old son was killed 1 mile from my home on Thanksgiving morning 2003. I had been through the psychiatrist, therapist, medications, etc., but it was sharing the pain in my heart with others who have experienced the same kind of pain the has started me toward healing.
I have received little to no support from my family. My husband turned into a selfish idiot (polite form) and my ex's family was unbelieveable idiotic despite the fact they hadn't seen Ricky in 20 years.
My friends at work acknowledge they are limited in the help they can offer. This site was a God send.

You have found a place where people "get it" and know how heartbreaking it is to endure the loss of a child. Take care of yourselves and visit us often. It helps all of us when we help each other. Hugs to both of you. Margot
