These past 8 months

I don't know where to begin. It has been a long 8 months, and it's not even close to being the end. I have to live with losing my child for the rest of my life. Funny thing is, is that today at work I was telling one of the ladies that I am so scared to move on with my life because, I don't want another Christian, I don't want to EVER meet someone like Greg. I am so scared that I am going to live my life in shame, and agony. I don't know what to do.

Excerpt from Mister Rogers
Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. It takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. It takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. It takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.

Guilt
Tammy, I didn't know when or how to approach you with this, because somehow I feel your grief and the same feelings I have are overwhelming for you. However, I wanted you someday to know that what you are going through, I share a lot of the same grief, anger, and most of all guilt. On August 7th 2004 forever more, I will feel such guilt that Greg even had Christian that day. If only I would have kept him instead of getting my house cleaned for some stupid get- together! I cry daily thinking I could have somehow stopped what happened that day. I know that everyone has told me that if it wouldn't have happened that day, then it would have been some other day, but my thinking is, maybe we would have seen the real Greg before it would have happened. I don't know, but I do know that I do have great feelings of guilt. I loved Christian so much and miss him terribly. There's not a single day that goes by that I don't think about him and look at the stars and hope that he sees me and knows just how much he was loved! I love you so much and pray that you will go on with your life and remember all the love and goodness Christian brought to our lives and not the tragedy that took his life.

You're in my thoughts
I was browsing the internet when I found your website. As I sit here reading your story tears flow down my face I don't even begin to know who you are but God knows and I know he hears our prayers I just want to let you know that I'm going to pray for you and hope that one day the road seems to be a little brighter but hold your head up because you did nothing wrong you were only trying to provide for your sun. You're in my thoughts.

It was NEVER your fault.
I stumbled across your website I'm not sure how. I lost my son on March 24, 2005. He was struck while on his skateboard by a 16 yr old kid driving 70 mph in a 45 mph zone. He died in the helicopter on the way to the hospital after he flew 200 feet into oncoming traffic. Two years later the grief is still overwhelming. I have to say to you - please know that the death of your son was not your fault. And it wasn't your fault either Nancy. We should all be able to have our houses cleaned and to go to work without worrying about our day care provider murdering our children. You are not to blame. The only person to blame here is the one that killed your beautiful Christian. You couldn't have known and therefore couldn't have done anything to prevent this. People like Greg are so deceptive. They don't reveal themselves until after you are married. He would have beat you to death along with any children you had. To Hell with him for what he did. Don't let him take the rest of your life away from you. Men like that only prey on sweet people like you. There is a wonderful man out there waiting to love you and the children you can have together. Get some counseling from someone who specializes in the death of a child and to help you recognize the patterns so that no one can ever prey on you and yours again. You are in my prayers. Here is an excellent website for support from other grieving parents: http://webhealing.com/forums/index.php#1 When you need to talk someone will be there to listen.

An Angel by your side
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son Christian, I came across Christian's site through Billy's website, and came across Billy's site while browsing the internet for a medium. I will keep you & your angel in my prayers. May God comfort your heart always.

I share your pain.
Hi Tammy, I just lost my baby girl one month ago,she suffocated and her precious brain died like your Christian. I know the pain you feel and I just want to tell you that reading about you and Christian gives me hope that I can go on without my sweet Joanna. Thank you and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
