How are you coping ,have things got a little easier or are they worse?
Tell us one thing that may of helped you on this long journey.
For me having Angel families has helped me so much.
I have to check the site out and it help's me.

I also Thank Judie Smart for having the idea to start this site in memory of her son Craig.
Now all our Angels are known to us all, and each one is so special.
For me the journey is still hard, however i do have good day's now.
I will always miss my son.
The tears will always fall but my memories stay.

Angela, you said it so right Thanks to Judie for starting this site. I really believe this site has saved my life. I do have bad days but like you said I do have good days. I will always forever miss Joseph but I believe in my heart he sent me here to find you all. Dessa

Angela, making James' Memory Of site was very theraputic for me, although some friends kept saying it was morbid etc etc.
I made a New Years Resolution that I would be doing better this year, and so far, so good. This year I have only had a couple of 'bad' days, when I just honour my feelings and go with the flow, as I know it will pass.
So yes, for me it is getting much easier. I miss James but when I think about that, I realise that I miss his presence and know that his presence is still around. If he were here in the physical, would I sit and stare at him 24/7 - no. If he were in the next room, I wouldn't see him, but would know he was there and that is how I feel about it now most of the time. I have to make the most of my life and have lots to do. If I were constantly sad, I wouldn't be able to help myself or others and would make my families life a misery...James doesn't want that.
I read a brilliant book called Love Never Dies by Sandy Goodman, which is a true story about a mother's grief and moving through it, hope you all will read it, as it will help so much.
Love and Blessings Denise xxx

Things seem to have gotten harder. I keep losing more and more. I have now lost my house and all my money.I feel I am taking two steps back .The stress is starting to get me depressed.I'm really getting tired of struggling and trying to go on Sometimes I wish I could take the easy way out. When is it suppose to get easier.

Hi
I think working on Jimmy’s site has also helped me, and Out Angel Family has helped so very much. Its makes us realize we are not alone and there are so many of us trying to get thru a day. And we can do this walk hand in hand.

Denise I like you make a New Years Resolution that I won’t go thru life stressed out that I will honor my son everyday, but I will start to live again for my beautiful daughter, Yes I still have some very rough days but I also have days filled with so many beautiful memories of my Jimmy it puts a smile on my face. Will my life ever be the same NO and will my heart ever be whole again No. I will miss Jimmy everyday, but in his honor I will live, as he would have wanted for me. His love for me was very strong and he only wanted the best for his mom, so I have to go on.

Wishing everyone a Happy Mothers Day one filled with beautiful memories of their loved ones

Peace & Love
Diane (Jimmy’s’ Mom Forever)
