When I lost my son on Novenber 17th 1999 I was totally lost. I didn't know what to do or how to act. I was confused about the way I felt and I worried if it was normal. Then one day a woman came up to me and told me about a chatroom that her mother had found recently. She said her mother had lost a 7 year old daughter along with her mother-in-law in a house fire a few years prior. She told me the chatroom had helped her mom and her alot. That chatroom was TCF (compassionate friends) After a few days I decided to give the chatroom a try and I'm sure glad I did. I have met some wonderful people there. Some have become very good friends.Here I learned that I was normal and so were my feelings, and that it was ok to feel the way I did or do. I found understanding, love and support in this chatroom so if you are a grieving parent or sibling click on the link below and discover what I did. A room full of people that truely understand
Meet my kids, Just click on their names below and watch them grow.Please give the pics a minute to load.
JesseIn the last few months I have a few other places that have also helped me with my feelings.Since grief is an on going process those of us that must live thru it or with it I guess is a better way to put it, we are constantly looking for support among others who do know how we feel.We come to understand that we belong to club not by choice but by faith, it's not a club that we want to add new members to but unfortunately that's out of our control.We also understand that because we are members of this club that we call grieving parents that others tend to be stand-offish. It's kind of like we have a disease and no one wants to catch it.People act like they are afraid to mention our angel's names, kind of like they think the mention of their names will throw us off the deep end so to speak.What most people don't understand is we like to talk about our angels.We like for others to talk about our angels because when they do they make it clear they haven't forgotten them. Having our angels remembered is what we strive for because if they are forgotten then our grieving is done in vain.
