The Grief Recovery handbook. I also go tho Hospice. They give free griefing counsiling. They are helping me. But the saddness never goes away, as I’m sure you know this after 7 years. My heart just feel so heavy all the time. I heard that never goes away, that you just learn to live with it. The Saddest thing that can happen is to lose a child.

While I do not have time today to respond to each and every person, I want you all to know that I am honored and touched that you’ve chosen to share your stories here with me. I am so glad that crochet has provided a means of comfort for so many of us here on this post, and certainly for many who haven’t decided to share publicly.

Please feel free to keep on sharing. While sometimes difficult, these stories are also motivational and may help more than we realize.

Words can not express how grateful I am that you each have found a way to keep going despite your losses. I have heard about but can not fully understand the loss that you each have experienced. However, I can keep you in my prayers and send healing thoughts. Peace and blessings.

Sadly, he only got to use it for about 5 months. When I was in a nursing home,(at the same time that my husband was in one) what kept me going was knowing that I had started a project and I WAS GOING TO FINISH it. The operation damaged some nerves in both my hands and my legs and once my hands got going, I must have crocheted at least 5 or 6 afghans. Prayers to everyone here who have lost people.

Tomorrow will be the 9th anniversary of my sons death.
I do not know how you feel but I know how I felt….and my heart breaks for you.

What saved us what a class that uses The Grief Recovery handbook. Their website is:
http://www.griefrecoverymethod.com. Please look at it.

I will always miss Brooks. But I can remember him without the pain.
Much love,
Sue

I taught myself to crochet from a book about 5 years ago and it has really kept me going through all of the medical appointments, the physiotherapist visits and his advancing dementia. I have crocheted may gifts for others as well as for charity – mainly hats (“beanies”) as they are very portable, easy to finish and satisfying to know that you are helping someone to stay warm when the days are chilly.

Prayers are much needed and appreciated. I know life can be worse. But losing a child is the worst that can happen to a parent. May you NEVER know! I miss my Joshua much. I have a memorial FB page. You can visit it at Joshua Aaron Underwood Memorial Page. Thank you for your kindness.
