Kristi,you know I know how you feel. I just can't celebrate like I use to. Some people says get over it,well this is so hard to do getting over your childs death. Than Kristi I have Kris (2) sons to look at and reminds me of Kris not being here with them. They just don't know how my heartaches,not just for me but for the boys to. I can see when family members are aroundthe little boys, with their dads,oh my heart goes out to them. As you know I have to be strong for them and to let them know that everyone has to go like their dad did. It is so hard. But Kristi I will keep in touch with you,we have to hang in there together. Not just us but everyone that has experience the death or the lost of a child. Keep in touch. Elaine

Dear all,

We wanted to share the latest blog post from Robbie Kaplan, "When a Baby Dies." Robbie speaks poignantly about losing two children in the same year. She talks about what she learned from the experience and offers advice to help others support grieving parents after the death of a child. Here is a link:

As always, please let us know if we can be of any assistance.

Hi Lisa,
I know how you feel my son died 12-12-2008 he was hit by a truck walking home.
he was 18 and going to graduate in the Spring of 2009. And it is so hard without him, he did leave me a granddaughter and she is every bit like him. But I want my son it has been almost 8 months now and I think of him everyday and my heart is not the same nor will it ever be. My family is falling apart my husband and I go are own ways and my daughters I can even be there for them he was my only son I have 3 daughters. I cant even be a mother to them they are all women but I should still be there. It is so hard without him I have a message on my cell phone I keep and listen to all the time just to hear his voice in he keeps saying Mom Mama Mom over and over again and them he laughs..Oh how I miss his jokes he would play on me..but I love to talk about him and remembering him makes me smile to think of what he would be doing. miss him so much my heart hurts so much...but I am here for you also and take gentle care of you
remember I care and I understand how you feel I feel it to.
Twila

Yes Kristi,this what we both need. This Site with so many caring folk. You just don't know how much I appreciate this Site. Especially the with the idea someone come up with separat grievings. Yes I think all that are grieving from the lost of a child should be together. Because we know the pain,heartaches,restless and sleepless nights. Crying and waiting for that son or daughter to walk through the door,or just to hear their voice again. Like me I would give anything to get that bear hug and kiss from Kris. I miss my son so much,I know everyone gets tired of me everytime I talk Kris name will come up in the subject some how. Might see someone who loks like Kris or just do some of the things that use to do. I would say Kris use to do that with his boys or Kris use to do that for me. You know with me it is a different pain with the lost of a child. You would have to go through it to know and feel it. This is why I express myself when someone states go on with your life. I know I have two other kids,but they know that I am here for them. It takes time to heal from the loss of a child. When I say time,I mean time. So Kristi I will be with you for Everett birthday. You know that is my birthday to. I am so glad you got a chance to hear Kris brother sing to him and you met just about my whole family on the pictures. Keep in touch Kristi and I will pray with you and for you. Because GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH WE CAN BARE even when the load gets heavy somtimes. But God will put no more on us than we can bare. Elaine

Hi Lisa,my name is Elaine Phillips. I to lost my son Kris to a fatal auto accident.My son SUV flipped and he was killed instantly. Lisa you know we really can't tell you how to go on because what we did might not work for you. We can only encourage you to go on. Let me tell you it will be hard heartaches and pain. Its been three years for me and I am still crying,having heartaches and pain,restless and sleepless nights wanting and wishing that my son was here with me and his two sons. Now is the time you should go to God,not saying that the pain and heartache will go away. But just ask him for strength to go on day by day with your grieving. Now I can tell you it helps me even though the pain is still there. But I have come a long way Lisa. Because I would not let Kris go I had a brain aneurysm while driving wanting and waiting for Kris to be here with me. I have gotten so close to God now. I would not go a day without Thanking him for my past,present and my future. Now I Thank him in advance for what he is doing for me right now and what he is going to do for me. I know Lisa it is so hard to go on. DON't GIVE UP THAT FAST NOW BECAUSE HELP IS ON THE WAY. When I say help meaning GOD will be there for you. Don't you hold his hand,let GOD hold your hand and I know he want let you go. I will be praying for you and with you Lisa and your friend. Yes your daughters do need you like my son and daughter needs me. Write anytime you need us we are here for you. I say we meaning this Site. Always remember GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES. Elaine
