Do others deserve compassion but not you? If you don't give it to yourself, others' compassion for you might not penetrate either. Please treat yourself, at least most of the time, with the tenderness I'm sure you gave your children most of the time. Patience, tenderness, compassion... they might slowly help you heal enough to get to a place where you're not so tempted to beat yourself up. Your pain is excruciating and it IS "indescribable" and the loss can't be undone - of course this is a long, hard, rocky journey and you lose sight of all light at times. One day you may well help many others get through the unspeakable as well, even more than you are now. You are beautiful, funny, articulate, loving, courageous. I don't know you personally but I like a lot from reading your blog and I have faith in you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-10746463103031882612010-12-03T18:33:49.048-05:002010-12-03T18:33:49.048-05:00Amy,

And I look up at their little tokens and think...I am here, my son is here, we are here-and I remind myself to slow down and hug the friggin tantrum out of him that night. I hope you dream of them tonight and get a little bit of "the present" with them in your dreams. I will wish and hope that for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-53037920969300124322010-12-03T12:59:06.126-05:002010-12-03T12:59:06.126-05:00Amy,

I mean, how is that that someone who has lived a full life can pass away at the same time as someone whose life has not yet begun? I am sure you have asked yourself this question a million times.<br /><br />The only way I can reconcile these thoughts is to believe there is a plan, one which we cannot understand, but that is in place for a reason. I know that sounds cliche, but if you really believe it in your heart, it does help. <br /><br />I also believe that ones who have passed on stay with us, both in our hearts, and in some ways we can't quite grasp. All I know is that sometimes I can feel the presence of those who I've lost so strongly, I know they're still there. <br /><br />I hope you know that your children are still there too. Every time you think about them, their presence grows a little stronger. Every time you see something that reminds of them, whether it is a Mr. Yuk sticker, or a princess wand, or whatever the case my be, and memories come flooding back, they are there to share the memories with you. I hope that brings you some comfort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-29126676532896324302010-12-02T21:47:53.064-05:002010-12-02T21:47:53.064-05:00I need a line on sum of those Mr Yuk stickers....

Since losing a number of people close to me, hearing about your tremendous loss and seeing some of the terrible things that happen in this world, I try to live every day to the fullest. Because of you, I remember, each day, to cherish my kids and what we have - the good, the bad, the happy, the trying and sad. Good thoughts to you (or Mr. Yuk thoughts, rather) on this day. I think it would be awesome if all of us who read this would carry a wand all day, btw :-). I know your pain is indescribable, and I also know that you shouldn't beat yourself up EVER for having a rough day or a couple of sulky moments to yourself. Being mom - and mom who holds it together all the time - is hard. You are a fantastic mother. Your little angels STILL know how lucky they are. I never met your little cupcakes, but I will never forget them. Never. You honor their memory so well and in so many ways.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600904912151877914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-83625091101469191662010-12-02T18:36:52.923-05:002010-12-02T18:36:52.923-05:00((((HUGS))))((((HUGS))))Bondi Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02596346018970566941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-62797363576454228582010-12-02T15:06:53.425-05:002010-12-02T15:06:53.425-05:00I wish I had a Mr. Yuk sticker to wear... and a sp...I wish I had a Mr. Yuk sticker to wear... and a sparky wand to carry.

No o...Amy, please don't be so hard on yourself. No one can live a life as if what we have today, might be gone tomorrow, because none of us would leave the house! We all (ok, at least I do too) have those times when playing Bejeweled (or in my case, Freecell) is the only thing we want to do, because those things truly do calm the mind. I can't count how many hours I "wasted" playing Freecell after my divorce, as my world was unraveling. But it was a welcome alternative to crushing depressive thoughts. I don't know if it's possible to live a regret-free life, but I'm inclined to think it's not. We can only do our best when we can, and if we can't do our best because we hurt too much, less than best truly is ok. The life you lead now is an honor to your children, so do your best when you can, but don't beat yourself up when you're struggling. You're already carrying a crushing burden. Be gentle with yourself, you are God's child, and He is holding you in the palm of His hand. I pray your pain may be eased.Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-4727466739956534772010-12-01T17:55:16.977-05:002010-12-01T17:55:16.977-05:00I know it doesn't feel like it, but your words...I know it doesn't feel like it, but your words are helping other people.

The holidays sometimes have a way of consuming me with trivial stuff, and I need to remember to make room for what is really important. And I will never look at a Mr. Yuk sticker the same again - thank you.<br /><br />I wish I had some words of wisdom that would somehow help you. But this is all I have - a heartfelt thank you for the reminder to stay properly focused as much as possible.Nancynoreply@blogger.com
