Letter to Liz dated September 10th, 2012

Dear Liz, 7 months ago today you died.  Plus it's Wordwide Suicide Prevention Day. Kind of a double whammy!!! The day did not start out well.  Joshua woke me up at 7:40.  I had overslept.  And so for the first time ever my kids were late to school!!  :( It was a really busy morning.  The Suicide Prevention Day is all over Facebook.  And there was so much activity in my groups...pages...and Wall that I could not keep up!!! I lit candles...I wrote the word "love" on my wrist...I wore yellow.  I…See More

Letter to Liz dated July 29th, 2012

Dear Liz,I really wanted something that I could touch on me at all times that would help me feel connected to you.  I thought of a charm.  That's what helped me so much after my miscarriage.  I went on Etsy.  Found a charm at a very reasonable price...from this very nice lady...and I ordered it.  I just got it a few days ago.  I guess I didn't pay any attention to the size...because it was smaller than I expected.  But each day I seem to love it more.  It's a perfect circle.  It's petite and…See More

Letter to Liz dated July 9th, 2012

Dear Liz, I'm not doing too well right now.  :( Learning to live without you seems to be getting harder...not easier.  I'm tired of the pain so I've been pushing the grief away more than feel it.  I still read all my grief groups...but I haven't been posting much at all.  And all of a sudden I stopped reading the library books on the subject.  I've been depressed...and practically in despair.  I don't want to go anywhere....and I can't seem to stop reading mysteries on my Kindle.   It seems my…See More

A Story About Liz's 39th Birthday

NOTE: Liz died just a few months after she turned 38. Her birthday is December 5th. Reading this story is one of the things I've figured out to do is to on my sister's first birthday in heaven.FYI: When I mention her child...it's the one she miscarried. And since I also had one miscarriage...and our other sister Pam has had two miscarriages...that makes the three nieces/nephews that I mention in the story. Without further ado...LOL *smile*...here is the story: "It was Liz's 39th birthday...and…See More

Dear Liz,


It's been exactly six months since you died.
 
I've actually been doing somewhat better recently...but not today.  :(


I was up most of the night...I couldn't sleep.  I went through the envelopes of almost all of the things I have to remind me of you. 
 
I copied and pasted all of my answers to the Daily Questions from this support group into a document...and sent it to my Kindle.  I believe it was…

Hi Christine,

I don't have much time to write all I want to say to you at this moment but you are experiencing most of THE EXACT SAME THINGS I am experiencing. Reading what you wrote I feel like you can hear my own thoughts! Is there a way I can share my email address with you without sharing it with the whole world? I must get on with my chores right now, but all I can say is God love ya, you have someone else who understands your pain - me! P.S. Thanks for sharing, it lets me know I'm not alone. Suzanne
