July 27th, 2009, we lost our grandson. he was only ten and the only child of my son. It was a terrible accident that took his life in an instant. The hurt and pain is something I can not begin to explain. I went surfing for answers and found your post. I think the only thing is to keep talking about it, share our grief because letting it out is the only thing I can think of that seems to work a little. I am so sorry to hear about your loss as well.

I had a few minutes before my granddaughter woke up (I take Mondays off of work). I have been feeling panicky of late with Christmas coming. I would like to correspond by email (evie3@live.ca), if you don't mind. My heart just aches for my granddaughter and I see you have been there and are there. She has had some difficult times being angry that her mom won't come back. The last two weeks have been pretty good though. I guess it would just be nice to talk to someone who has been there and is there. Thank you for writing, I needed to know others understood what I am going through. Got to go, she is up and who know when I will have time again. Take Care Evie Dear Carol: I haven’t been on here in a while, don’t know what prompted me today.
