Stories of Lost Children
Starting Over
by L.W., Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A.
Hi, I'm new to this site. I lost my only child on March 4, 2000. She was my world. We did everthing together; she was 22 when she died. It Has been a rough road. I take it one day at a time. Times are hard, sometimes I don't know how I make it thur the days. Even though she is not here, I have here two children and without them I don't know where I would be. I'm 48 years old. My grandchildren are 8 & 3. They are a handful. I don't work, and I am disabled from back pain. I have read a lot of your stories and my heart gose out to all of you. I'm In the process of going to court, because now after 2 years the father wants to take them away from me. Sometimes I get so mad because the support of my family has not been there. They promised the children things, but never go through with it. So I have distanced myself from them. It was really bad at Christmas because nobody gave them anything but empty promises. You should have seen their faces. That when I decided to keep them away, because they don"t understand and I don't want them to be hurt. They miss their mother very much. We are in couseling. It helps a little but the pain is bad. When the special days come around I thank God every day for the gifts of my little angels. Bless all of you that have lost a child. Nobody needs that loss.
