Thank you Lenora Murdock for posting the article about my son's death. It meant a lot to me. I was also wanting to post up a link to your article to return the favor that you had given me.

I printed out this article and stuck it in a frame for everyone to see who walked into my house. I thought that it was sweet and it meant a lot to my family.
I don't know how to thank you so I wrote this post instead.

This article was written about the tragedy that I indured when my son died. I still can't believe that he is gone. It doesn't feel real, but more like a dream that I can't wake up from.

Rosa, I know it's hard to get through this, but keep close to friends and family. The pain never goes away, but it becomes less intense over the years. It's been almost 30 years since my son and husband passed away, and the best advice I can give is to stay busy enough that you aren't constantly hurting, but not so busy that you become exhausted. Be there for the rest of the family. You need each other.

I know how I feel so I couldn't imagine how you felt loosing two loved ones like that. I want this feeling to go away. I feel like I have a whole in my heart and a great emptiness inside of me.

Rosa I am so sorry to hear of you loss. There reallly are no words that will help to ease the pain you must be feeling. I am sure alot more of us would have written an article about this on AC for you but we were respecting your wishes in your post. You asked us not to write articles on AC about this. We will always be here for you! (((((HUGS)))))

i know that i had written that I didn't want anyone to post an article about this and I also thank those that respected my wishes. I know that a lot of people skim over discussions here without reading the entire post. Lenora Murdock has been an associate of mine and I hope that this was the case with her. I wrote and article about what happened on AC but they sent me an email back asking me to write it in my own words instead of in the words of a reporter. They said that they wanted me to do this because I was there when it happened. It was hard enough to write it the first time and I am hoping that I find the strength to do it a second time.
I do however, appreciate all the support that I have gotten in this point in my life.

No one can answer your questions of why rosa - we can only speculate! I like to think that youngsters taken from this earth are taken to be with God as they are so special - I don't know how I would be able to try and comprehend this in your shoes though! I understand life has not been easy for you my friend and that you are struggling to come to terms with things but please do not give up hope. I know the pain will never leave but in time it will hopefully become more bearable, and instead of mourning your loss you will be able to celebrate the blessings he brought in his short life! I cannot say anymore as the tears are flowing down my face as I think of your grief! xxx

Oh Rosa the article brought tears to my eyes, I know God is with you and your family at this time. I know your little boy is probably up in heaven playing with all the other little ones also and living in a perfect state of love and happiness. I will pray for your family and your precious little boy, I know one day you will see him again.

My cousin, who lost a child almost three years ago, had given me the link to the first one you listed. I wanted to thank you. I have heard that they do help out a lot and I am thinking of visiting them so that maybe I can get help to ease my pain. I don't think that the pain that I feel will ever go away.

rosaflorence,
You touched my heart deeply and after reading what you wrote I went and searched for a site that could ease your pain a little bit. It is hard to lose a child and there is sites that can help out. I found a site and went all through it and think this might help. I hope you will go to this site. It is not preaching or anything like that. It is a group of parents that have lost a child and need somewhere to go for support. There are different links on the site. I hope you go to the site and check it out. My heart cries for you and my prayers are with you everyday. The site is:

I searched for awhile and I think this is one that will help you out.
