****Sunday Roll Call****

Nannette,

I do not believe you have gone crazy  I believe you are handling this with the will and strength that you don't see in everyone everyday.  Yes, I do believe your daughter is at peace right now and will be forever more.  She was not at peace before all of this and was obviously under some extreme torment.

You are allowed to feel seizure like for quite some time after such a horrific deal.  It is unfortunately part of the healing process, and you will get through this as well.  Allow yourself to grieve as you can and as you must.  It might not come for quite some time - and that's ok too - as long as you don't block it forever.

Your friends are here for you and although no one can truly understand your pain, we can help absorb it with hugs.

We love you.

Pam

Nan,
Your pain will take a while to heal, and your feeling of confusion is totally normal at this point in the process. 

My father-in-law took his life when my husband was a young father, barely an adult.  My husband did heal from it, though therapy did help him considerably with that. 

My mother has buried both my brothers in the past two years.  They had not taken their lives, but her shock and pain were intense none the less.  She is 81 years old, and never anticipated losing any of her children, much less two within a year of each other.  She is managing to move on, in spite of it, though she is much more frail than she had been before.

My point is, healing takes time, and tears.  Allow yourself both.  If you need someone to talk to, find a good friend, and talk about your daughter, and your pain.  If you need to talk to a therapist, don't hesitate.  I have spent many of my therapy sessions talking about my brothers in the past few years.  It helped immensely for me to be able to learn to grieve in a healthy way.

You are being prayed for.

Hugs,
Trish

Good HOT morning everyone - slept in a little later than usual so my walk with the dog was a little shorter since its already stinking hot. Today is going to be a little more relaxing than yesterday - have some minor things to do but not killing myself in this heat. Went to a nice event last night in Bucks County at a winery with some friends - for once I wasn't afraid to sit in the little chairs that were at the tables, afraid it would collapse under me! Stay cool everybody - gonna be a long hot one out there. Kathy

Good moning everyone!
I hope your weekend is going well!
I've been lazy this weekend and I'm feeling blahh about it today. I really need to get some exercise. I feel so much better when I exercise.
I've got pasta sauce going for my guys and not much else going on today.... enjoy your Sunday

Good Mornin Everyone! Nan,You r in my prayers sweety!
         Taking my daughter to get a Tattoo on her foot(ouch) yes its her Birthday present,Then taking her to the movies to see MOMMA Mia! Its a mommy day for her,Even though she is 17 going to be 18 she still needs mommy and me days! Then home to dinner my hubby is cooking and a long dip and my water erobics in the pool! Its gonna be a hott one today! Hugs Trish

I'm 27 going on 28 and I still like my mommy and me days too!  (But my mom's not as cool as you - she would NEVER take me to a tattoo parlor.  In fact, she doesn't even know about my newest one still in progress - I'm to chicken to tell her and get that disapproving "mom" look I know I'll get.  I'm married and on my own....and still am afraid of getting in trouble for such "rebel" things!)

Pam
