Too bad

[jaredsmommyforever]

Hi all,

It is too bad that it is so quiet here. It has been going on for such a long time. Is anyone out there reading and not responding? I wonder if people have given up on this board. I'd like to think that fewer people are losing children, and that is why there are no new members, but it is also possible that people are coming here and not seeing activity, so they are not posting but going elsewhere instead. I don't know. I would love to know who is around if anyone wants to reply. I miss the camaraderie we used to have and the ongoing support people gave each other.

Thinking of everyone I have known here the past too many years...

I miss it too. I hope people come back. And I hope any newbies post. I usually still check here once a day.

Hi Brenda,

Thanks for responding. You are the only person I felt sure WAS here, since you post. Glad I'm not the only one. Anyone else?

Hi Denise and Brenda :

Denise I wonder the same thoughts you do. It would be great to think that less children are dying but sadly we know that's not true. We have had a lot of tragedys in our area, two children in our district took their lives around the holiday and a terrible accident claimed the lives of two small boys and their gf, as well as one of my customers who I was close to. (gf had a heart attack and ran head on into my customers car). It saddens we to see post gone unresponded to. Really doesn't seem to even worth the time to post, as no one responds. I do know that this site saved my life. I will be forever grateful for it and Clara and all the wonderful people I met here. I still come to read about 1 time a week. Thinking of you Denise and Brenda and everyone else. Love pam

Hi Pam,

So good to hear from you. I am amazed, really, that it is as quiet as it is. In times past, people read and only responded to a thread like this every once in awhile. But it seems like few are even reading at this point. Well, I am around mostly in case anyone needs any support... on pm or otherwise.

Take care, Pam. This past year has brought so many losses in your area. I am sorry...

It is way too quiet. Wish it wasn't. I had a rough day. Came across Isaiah's baby book and going home outfit.

So sweet, yet so hard to see those reminders The missing and wondering is the very hardest thing. That hole in our heart just doesn't seem to close. I wish none of us had to lose our children. No matter how long it just will never be fair. Please know I am thinking of you and I hope today is a little brighter for you.

Love pam

I come in and post when time permits, and try to get in to atleat read often. I also wish it wasn't so quiet. It's frustrating when you need support from others that sadly understand and posts go unanswered. I wish we didn't need boards like this, but it's nice to have a place to share out joys, sorrows, frustrations and worries with others that have walked this sad and often lonely road. hugs to all. extra hug to losing, Sounds like a rough day. Sometimes it's amazing how something so small can hurt so much.

I meant to say hugs to missing. I hate trying to type on mobile.

Hi Guys,

I was gone for a few days and I am glad to see you have posted but not glad to hear you have had a hard time Brenda. Glad to see you faithinangels. I wish none of us had to be here or had such painful reminders. None of this will ever go away and that is so daunting to have to live life like this.

Gentle thoughts to everyone.

I'm still reading!! My problem is that it's a pain to post from anything but my computer and now with the iPhone and iPad I find myself reading and saying to myself "I'll come back and post later" but honestly I am hardly ever on an actual computer anymore. For example, I read this thread when it was posted ... then I read it again and again and again and only now am I actually sitting at a real computer because I have to print something.

I'll try and be better. ((((((hugs)))))))) to everyone!!

Hi Michele!

So good to hear from you and know you are around. I miss seeing you here. I hope all is as well as it can be with your family.

Hi friends. I haven't been here in a long time. I tried to come back and I was just struggling too much, and didn't have words. I ran out. Really, I have let suffering paralyze me, and viewed it as an obstacle to being "healthy" for my kids, but I'm coming to terms with the cup I've (we've) been handed. It's ours to embrace, isn't it?

I am so happy to see you all Denise, Brenda, Michelle, Pam...such giving and encouraging friends still going through this together. You were such a lifeline for me, really! Can I come back?

Chris and I are Facebook friends, but I find I don't visit there too often either.

Oh my goodness! I just saw the picture on my signature...I haven't looked at that one in a while.

Also, I have a son now! Jet! He was born 2 days before Celeste's 3rd birthday - such a blessing!

Can someone remind me how to insert pictures? lol... no really I can't remember...
