dealing with death for children

My husband was not with us. With me were my two children. One was almost three and the other was one and a half. When my husband finally joined us they were both surprised, although the elder seemed annoyed. When dealing with children we have to creep into their lives to understand them. They do not see things as we do.

Im so very sorry for your loss!! I do understand your feelings I had one at 15 and 17 weeks. I have 2 healthy children and one on the way. They went in and cleaned me out while I was out. I preferred not to be awake. I want you to know as hard as it is please remember we all have our own journey. For some reason this happened to u and its definatly hard sometimes why things happen but please stayas positive as you can. This will be a emotion journey for you but All of us are here for you!!

It is has been about 3 1/2 months since I lost my sweet little angel Cooper and not a day goes by that I don't think about him. But, now I think about him and smile. The first couple of weeks after he returned to heaven, I was a complete wreck, I even thought about taking my life. If it was not for my husband and my counselor, I am not to sure I would be here today. Cooper was my life. It took my husband and I two years to finally get pregnant with him and only 7 short weeks to loose him.

Hi, I am having a very difficult time dealing with family without having modd swings. I am trying to go to meetings, but my schedule and family situations are keeping me from doing so. Funny, I could have gone to bars and just neglected family in the past, but now, I am dealing with family situations and trying to be present. However, my children and my husband are DRIVING ME CRAZY. I keep serenity prayering and it helps for a little bit.

for the baby and how much will effect him. I usually a very emotional person when dealing with death and I feel like a horrible person for not allowing myself to feel bad. What do I do???

The original autopsy showed no cause of death, but suddenly, 9 months later and after further testing of heart tissue sample and blood samples, the medical examiner has come back with the cause of death being Cardiomyopathy and Mitral Valve prolapse. Why would this have not been found in the original autopsy? Also...after her death, her husband admitted to giving her Cialis because he said he had heard it worked better in woman than in men for boosting a low sex drive.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there dealing with children concerning bipolar. I have 7 year old grandson that is om foclin but has stomach problems and recently the diagnosis is leaning more toward bipolar and has been put on a mood stabilizer tryleptal 300mg half in the morning and a whole pill at night. Anyone with any information please share with a concerned grandmother.

I am sorry you only had 18 years with your son, and I am sorry for your other children who have lost a sibling. You and your family will also be in my thoughts. Thank you again.

How do you deal with all the differing views on risk behavior? For example, this forum has a pretty firm stance about the low/no risk nature of oral sex for hiv transmission. Yet even my own cities Met Health Clinic (SA, TX) councils that getting a blow job is high risk due to potential lesions, etc.

Anyone else ever deal with this or something similar? Maybe even not having energy to play with the children you already have? I just feel so guilty.

I had my first son, Jeremiah, 3years ago. My husband and I really wanted a girl, but when we found out it was a boy, I actually found myself to be UPSET. For a while after I found out, I walked around wishing I wasn't pregnant with him. Of course I love my son to death, and can't imagine life without him. Now that I'm pregnant again, I'm having this mothers instinct that its a girl. But I don't want to go through the disappointment again.

Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.

Not all children are sociable and it sounds like a lot going on already, I understand how you would want him to participate in sports and classes,I do think it is very good for all children to participate in sports ..However hes got to want to.... so take a proverbial step back, let it go and see what happens ..Good Luck he may just not be quite ready to be that social ....

i have spoke to you many times before and i have the utmost respect for you...your kind,caring and quite special with your loving advice you give to people...all you too have gone through..thanking you so much for just being there...

I will never ever understand what is wrong with this people. How do you do something like this to innocent children? It makes me sick to read stories like this, it truly does.

I currently have been in alot of pain and my PCP ordered a CT to check for kidney stones which I have had a problem with for about 10 years, In my results it should to small kidney stones, but also two large fluid dense cyst, one measuring 4.0 x 3.7 cm and the other 2.3 x 1.7 cm both on my right side. I just had my tubes tied in early sept and cyst removed during that time. I am tired of the pain and the cysts hurt really bad when they rupture, I am wondering what is the next thing they can do?

So my husband and I had been trying for a baby for over 2 years when we finally got pregnant. Of course we are ecstatic. I'm 10 weeks 2 days and everything I'd going smoothly with baby. I'm white. Like Casper the friendly ghost white haha. My family is all german. My husband is African American and native American. He has a very ethnic look. After we announced our pregnancy most people were excited too!

im 19 wks pregnant and i have a fetus with a diagnosis of CPC im scared to death because i have to wait 3 wks to go to a specialist...anyone have any hopes or ideas??

That same strength seems to weaken when there are issues of well being with our children. So talk with dad, resolve your worry, and know that we look to your safe return, into the arms of your loved ones!!!

I have a friend who lost his wife a few months ago to cancer and is having a very hard time dealing with it. Yesterday I received another email from him (I live 300 miles away) and following is an excerpt of that email; " I"m not doing very well with this situation here. I don't know how people survive the sadness, loneliness, pain & guilt. My daughter said, why do you feel guilty, dad? I told her it's because she's dead,and I'm not.

But after a while even if your not up for it try to go out with your husband or with your friends, sometimes distracting yourself and trying to move forward is the best medicine. I know you will never forget but its not about forgetting its about learning to cope and to move forward just like your baby would want you to.
