[mrsbrown333]

add some more

1. do not tell me that you understand if you have not experienced your child passing. you dont understand.

2. do not judge me. do not blame me.

3. do not try to fix me, nothing will fix me.

4. i am NOT who i used to be, and dont expect her to return. she died when her son crossed over.

5. do not say 'oh i just cannot imagine'. imagine, because no parent is exempt from it happening.

6. no bumper sticker religious quotes, please. if religion helps you, fine. do not prostleytize.

@mrsbrown333 You forgot :He is in a better place - I hate that one. The best place for him was with me. Just move on - obvious sign this person never lost a child. You should speak to a shrink - that's fine if all I needed was to be called crazy and given a pill, I mean, really, I do not trust anyone enough to really let them in on how I feel from day to day. Oh and when someone else is hurt bad but does not die, they say "They must of had a purpose" WHAT? You mean my son didn't? .....

@mrsbrown333 I do not know you, but if you lost a child, I know you better than you think. I lost my 17 year old on July 31st of last year. What a world I woke up to that morning.
