It is the two year anniversary of my son’s death
Hi Marcelle and Merris…mothers of Ian and Sarah, (in Penn and Tx)
How are you doing? i still think of you both .. and hope that you remember the love of your children to bring some comfort to you both.
This week was the 2 year anniversary of my son’s death…Nathan died July 1,2007…at 19 yrs old by accidental drowning…and this week my Aunt just passed away on the very same day July 1….2 yrs to the day of losing Nathan. So not only is his day painful but now more so because of my auntie. AND on this day…my ex husband..Nathan’s Dad had a nervous breakdown and tried to commit suicide…HOW? By trying to drown himself in a FREAKIN LAKE!! He said he wanted to “go with Nathan”…So now he is in the hospital Psych floor trying to get help. AND I am left to continue grieving Nathan and trying to hold my other son together!! Dan misses nathan so much and for his Dad to choose the SAME day and in a LAKE to try to kill himself is unreal….and I don’t know how to keep it all together, eeeeeek To top it off..my ex has no other family around and called ME from the kayak in the lake and I had to get him help and to a hospital and my son, Dan found the suicide note…Who ever said divorce is final ???
Anyway I hope you both are ok…I won’t say “better” cause I know it is never better or over…just hope you are coping ok. God Bless and thanks for “listening”
Mary…Nathan’s mom
Hello Mary
How kind of you to remember us – I think of you as well and can’t believe so much time has already passed. Anniversaries have been quite difficult as you well know. It seems that you have had such a rough time of lately – I am sorry to hear of your aunt’s passing and Nathan’s father’s suicide attempt. You must be a very special woman to be able to handle all of this and still keep your own life somewhat stable. Like you – I am coping. I have a good therapist and try to do the things he suggests. Sometimes it’s good, soetimes its hard.
Mostly I am just exhausted and weary.
Thanks for letting us know how things are even though they are not so good.
And thanks for remembering me too.
Marcelle
