Too bad

[pamela]

Oh I love seeing that sweet face!!! Congrats on your new baby I love his name! I think many of us have found it very hard to be here at times, but there is certainly no better place where we all understand each other perfectly! It is so nice to hear from you . Please lean on us I know Sidney's angel day is coming next month and those dates are just brutal. Holding you close in thoughts and prayers.

You were such a lifeline for me, really! Can I come back?

Hi Angela!!!!

So so so so so weird but you popped into my head literally like 2 days ago and I was wondering how you were doing and then I come here and you wrote!! You ABSOLUTELY MUST come back!!

I had heard, from Chris, that you had a little boy. How awesome for you and your family. I'm sure little Celeste (who is probably not so little anymore) is a wonderful big sister!! I wish I could find it in me to join Facebook. I'm one of the last holdouts I think I just don't have the time much less the desire, but I'm so happy you're in touch with Chris!! I miss her around here too.

Wish I could help you out with the pix thing. I haven't posted a pix in so long but I remember you have to copy a link from photobucket into something in the profile part? Yes? I think??

Do not be a stranger. The board really has been slow, but it's just so nice to know we all seem to be able to pick up where we left off once we're back posting.

So good to hear from you!!

To post a new siggy pic:
Download pic to photobucket.
Click IMG code
Log on here
Click "Profile" tab on top
Click "Modify Profile"
Go to "Signature" box
Right click mouse to paste IMG code.
Click modify.

Think that's all the steps.

Wish Chris would come here. I am on facebook, but don't remember her last name to look her up.

About 8 years ago I found this site and everyone helped see me through. I thought, having been through this before, that I could find my way through. But it almost feels worse and so I'm back. But I have noticed how it seems as though no one is here. It leaves me feeling like there is nowhere to turn. Last time there was so much support. I have thought of going somewhere else but I don't know of any other sites like this one and don't have the time or energy to look.

I was just thinking this morning that maybe I'll just keep posting and even if I don't get responses, at the very least, perhaps it will help just getting my feelings out. Besides my dh, I have no one to talk to IRL. So this is it.

[missingisaiah]

Post! I check from time to time and try to help.

Angela,

WELCOME BACK!! I have missed you!! Of course, please come back!!

Lostmom-- please post too. We will be here for you, even though it is slow.

So glad to see people posting!!!

[Sydneysmom]

You all are the best! Truly!

I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted.

Anyway, I'm taking babysteps in so many areas right now. There have been some big changes and I seem to be lacking in words, but I want to be here for you all. Especially because, like Lostmom said, for some of us it's the only place we can talk.

I am here. And I try to respond to as many posts as I can, but sometimes I just don't know what to say. I lost twins in an ectopic pregnancy last October. I am currently 6 months pregnant with a boy. So far so good. I try to come back and check the new posts daily. I keep thinking that maybe I can come up with some words of encouragement for someone.

I love this picture of Sydney SO much!!!

I have not been checking in here as much, as it is so much easier to check in on the FB page. But the Sisters page seems to have a different focus than this board does, in terms of addressing grief specifically. Last year, I felt addicted to this board. I HAD to check it every day, several times a day and read through old posts and stories searching for anything that would help me deal with the pain. Now the pain is less intense, and I am back to doing homeschooling and activities with my other children (oh, and caring for a tiny Baby Simon!), so I am not on the computer as much.

I realize that now I have a responsibility to be here for the new parents that, unfortunately, will have a need to come here. I just don't feel like I have much wisdom to share as far as knowing what will be helpful. But when I am really hurting, or have something to get off my chest or to figure out, this is the place I come to. I can never thank all of you enough for being here for me and I will try my best to check in more often and try to be helpful as well.

Love to you all!!!!

As for me, I am quite busy after Noah's birth. He's now 17.5 months old, and doesn't sleep through the night. Plus, he stays up until between midnight and 1 a.m. every day. I work full time. And, along with the death of Melody, my husband became disabled when the drunk driver hit him. Haven't stopped by in ages, but in late March, Melody's younger sister finally turned older than Melody was when she died. And now, Melissa will turn 10, essentially surpassing Melody in age in a couple weeks. At the end of this month it will be the 3-year anniversary since her passing.

Hello there,
It's so good and bad to see everyone's names and posts. This is my first time back in a very long time. I am stuck in my grief and most days I get by by living in my own world. I know the rules, continue forward with your life, find ways to remember him in positive ways, you all know. But I can't let go. I can't accecept it. I work, eat, generally live, but it's so hollow and empty. I feel like I am always pretending. It hurts to much to talk about and it hurts to much to pretend. I struggle with being so depressed. I mange, but there are so many days, especially recently that I don't care about anything, just the motions. It doesn't help that his birthday is April 9th, so it just went by. The only time I felt any better was with all of you. I am going to try to be here much more often. Wishing you all peace and happy days.

I think a lot of people are doing more posting on FB as they can reach a more diverse audience, members from here, family and friends. The teen/adult board is quiet too though we are beginning to pick up a bit. We all just need to be more conscientious about posting here and replying. We all have been through so much. I know I have been bad about that and as a oldie from the boards I feel I need to be here to show support and let people know we can make it through this. We will never get over but we WILL get through.

Sending tons of hugs.
