Who knew?

As I look back over my day, I realize that the sting is gone. Thirteen years ago today, I had to make the decision to remove my son from life support and let his body go. His spirit, his soul, had already left. He was in the arms of Jesus and I had to accept that he wasn't going to wake up

Thank you. :)

I simply cannot even imagine losing a child; the pain, the sense of loss...I can't get my mind around it, or imagine anyone else having to go through it.
My beliefs are different, but I admire your strength, and also your faith, and I am so glad that you have found peace in your life.

Thank you.

To be honest, I don't know how anyone can get through that kind of pain by themselves. I really believe that so many who don't know God really don't get past it. I know people who never, ever let go of the grief and the rest of their live is just abject misery. It's like they are trapped and refuse to take the key that's being offered. I feel so -sad- for them. It breaks my heart. :(

That was a very well written entry, and I'm really amazed with your ability to look at it this way, to be so resiliant and at peace despite the pain. You're an amazing human being, babe. *huge, huge hugs*

Awww.. thanks babe, but I can't take the credit. The ability to be at peace with it didn't come from me, it was given by God. Truly. Honestly. No BS, here.

Me? I wanted to kill. I wanted to rage and hate and smash and go completely off of the deep end without a backward glance.
