Many of us who have lost sons or daughters find that there is a big change in our constellation of friends afterward. Many cannot deal with the loss of someone's child, as it leaves them feeling depressed and vulnerable to such losses also. There is a wonderful yahoo group called Afterlife Eternal where mothers of sons and daughters who have moved past Earth can meet to share their thoughts and where they find understanding. You might wish to take a look. The group is actually open to anyone grieving the death of a loved one, but most members have lost a child to an accident or illness. There are many of us. Thank you for your support. I know this is a difficult time of year for you, as well.Alexandra of Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383184282535835905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543261107340081741.post-6932868310419073102013-11-10T20:01:56.793-05:002013-11-10T20:01:56.793-05:00I have had you in my thoughts with the approaching...I have had you in my thoughts with the approaching day to come of losing your sweet Daniel. I lift you in prayer. You have offered me support in the death of my son and I wanted you to know I don't just read and leave. I come back to read your replies and in between I think of you and pray.I send you a long hug. <br />I am so sorry your friend has lost her child also. I may just try her approach if I encounter the unkind forceful mother or any others like her.

A friend of ...Thanks for your post and kind words. A friend of mine who lost her young son overnight to the flu, is also bothered by how many parents really do mistreat their children in grocery stores. She has an interesting way of dealing with it when she sees it. She comments on what a great looking little boy or girl they have. Then she says they remind her of her son. Then she says, "He's dead now". That is usually unusual and bizarre enough that the parent who is borderline abusive is shocked, and resets into better behavior, at least for the moment. I applaud her guts.Alexandra of Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383184282535835905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543261107340081741.post-57233313792841368852013-11-09T22:53:50.632-05:002013-11-09T22:53:50.632-05:00Each time I open your blog I see those beautiful b...Each time I open your blog I see those beautiful blue eyes and sweet face. Thow I never knew your Daniel it is just like with my own son. How could they be gone. There so young and beautiful. I have seen teens with gestures and features my son had. It hits me takes me back. While grocery shopping 2 weeks ago I saw a young mother of 3 little girls. One about 2 crying getting out of the family cart. The mother picked her up and to me put her back in the cart quite forcefully while hitting her head on the shelf. I told my husband get me out of here because I want to tell her what it is like to lose a child and slam her into the shelves. If she had any idea just how fast God and the his angels could have her child. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.A Primitive Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205375008312950661noreply@blogger.com
