Dear Sonya and Moms, Do you find it hard since you lost your Child or Children when you go to Family Get Togethers and Celebrations, and you wish your Child or Children were there to celebrate too?? It has been three years since I lost my Sons, Brian and Tim in an Auto Accident, and I still find it hard to go to Family things, because I keep thinking that the Boys should be there with Jim my husband, Sean my younger Son, and me. Is there anyone who feels this way too and would like to share their thoughts about this too. Hugs, Pat, Mom of Brian and Tim in Heaven and Sean on Earth  |

Pat,
I still feel uncomfortable at family get togethers and it's almost a guilt that I am attending and my son can't attend. I guess I will always feel that way.
My son's birthday is coming up on September 8th. I have been dreaming about him a lot recently. I always do around this time. I purchased new flowers for his grave today to be placed on his birthday instead of baking him a cake and celebrating his birthday with family and friends. What hurts the most is that my husband and I are the only ones who acknowledge his birthday.
Love,
Sonya

Sonya, Thank you for your Reply to my Message. I will remember you in my prayers on Sept. 8 your Son's Birthday. I think many people feel uncomfortable about talking about the Child or Children we have lost. Perhaps because they just do not undestand what a Mom and Dad go through after losing a Child. The Pain in a Moms Heart lasts forever, I think. I read an Arabian saying about Loss of a Child - "Your Brother or Sisters tears will dry in time, You Wife or Sweehearts tears will dry, and they will find Love in the Arms of Another, but Your Mother will Mourn You Forever - this is so True. Hugs and Prayers, Pat, Mom of Brian and Tim in Heaven and Sean on Earth.  |

Hugs,

I usually avoid family get togethers now. I know my nieces and nephews do not understand why I don't come to their birthday parties. I know I shouldn't do this to them but it's too hard. My brother and his wife understand --- they were my son's GOD Parents.
I can only pray that one day attending these things will be easier for all of us.
