Gets harder every day

It's been almost 2 months since losing my Riley and things seem to get even harder every day. I always find myself in tears, I can't smile at all, I don't like to speak with anyone I would stay at home all day if that was possible. It scares me.... I can't imagine life becoming any easier in the future.....

RE: Gets harder every day

So sorry Jill for your loss.

I remember thinking the same thing ''how the hell do I live' but just over 2 years and I'm still living. Yes things are so horrible some days but I have now started to see a little light....time makes things easier to cope with.

Your in the thick of it, and I know just how awful it is. I still don't speak with anyone except at work, infact I speak to myself ( I must sound a right looney) but one thing I know is my way is the only way....one day at a time.

Don't be scared Jill their's lots of us mums to talk to on here, we share the same heartache and are always happy to chat.

Much love to you and your little smiler : ) ♥ ♥

RE: Gets harder every day

Hi Jill, like Julie it's been just over two years since I lost my son. A day doesn't go by that I don't miss him, and I certainly do not accept what happened, I still wonder what could I have changed that fateful night but there is no answers. When James first pass I never thought I would be be looking back and saying its been two years, I honestly thought I would die of a broken heart but some how you do go on. Everything is the same yet everything is so very different. You do certainly find out who your friends are, they mean well but they really do not understand as we are now living every parents worst night mare. I am sorry I don't mean to make you feel worst, guess what I want to say is some how you will put one foot in front of the other and the time will pass. The pain will never go away but there are now times I can think of a memory and say "I am glad we had that" instead of "what should of been", thought I still have lots of that. The people here are truly wonderful and when I feel alone in my world I reach out to the wonderful people here because I know they understand. Hugs.

Hi Jill. I just lost my Alexa Wuexa on Jan. 26, 2012. she was one day shy of being a month old. Life is hell, buy we must continue on. I am not saying that i have accepted her passing. I do not think anyone would every accept that. It's just that the more I cry the more harm I cause. I still cry but on my own. No matter how much I wish for her to be back, i knowit will never happen. My anger is in the why. Also in seeing other survivors of HLHS. Our lives will always be drained. we just have to figure out how to replenish with the memories they gave us. At the moment it is hard to recall them, but one day (i hope) it will be easier.

I understand your pain Jill, and I'm so sorry for your loss.

Please feel free to chat with me if you need a shoulder to cry on. I know that I have cried more than I thought a person could cry.. I have cried enough tears to fill a river.

It's a pain that nobody can understand unless they have lost a child.

Hi Jill , soo sorry for your loss , they say time is a healer , which i hoped was true , i lost my son 4 years ago and i still feel the exact pain now as i did when he was taken , i have just learned to live with that hes not here no more and he is somewhere happy , not that anywhere else other than with me he could be happier but it is easier to believe that , i just have to get on and look after my other 2 boys , as laura said i have cryed more than i thought any one could cry , talking about it does help , i wish i had spoken to someone about it years ago i have only now started to talk and join groups to try and help me through , hope you can do the same , lots of love carla xx
