Hello Joyce: My name is Janet. I feel so so much the way you do, as I lost my only and precious child, Mikah, on August 20, 2000 -- I buried him four years ago today, 8/24. He had just turned 21 that June -- He was my world. Yes, four years to most people is a long time. But for you and I, its a split second, and an eternity at the same time. The emptiness and ache that we have from the tragic loss of our babies cannot be filled by "other children" -- they have their own spot in your heart, I'm sure, and they of course, could not be replaced either. You and I lost our children in similar situations..my son was also killed in a car accident. I sit here tonight wondering how four years have passed.....its still all such a blur. There is a sad and ironic comfort in knowing there are parents out there who understand...I wish you didn't -- I am so so sorry for your loss. When people tell me "it gets better" -- I tell them, no, it just gets familiar. The pain, ache, sadness, are today as they were four years ago today. We will always miss our babies.....You are in my thoughts, and I pray our children each have joy and peace wherever they are....and that they are wrapped in the warmth of a loving God, surrounded by Angels. Please feel free to email me if you like, whenever you like, if you need to talk with someone. I sometimes do as well.
Thank you for posting, I needed to know.
Janet.
