March 28th, color this day black.

Tomorrow marks nine years since my daughter Lucy died. It's supposed to be easier with time, but I don't think it's any easier when the pain comes up... it just seems to come up less often. But it's here tonight. I can't seem to escape it. It would mean something special to me, if someone would go to her website that I made a long time back, sign the guestbook if you would. It just would remind me she's not totally forgotten. Thank you. It's http://www.angelfire.com/in/lucybear/ .

I saw your thread and went to Lucy's site. It is truly beautiful. I posted on there to you and hope that you read it soon. Know that I am here for you if you ever need to just chat. Sometimes it feels like the pain isn't better but look at what you wrote. The pain comes up less often. That is our minds and bodies way of coping with the pain. Know that you are loved and understood by those of us who have lost children. We understand the pain and feel it with you. If you need to just unload let me know. I will pm you my phone number or pm me yours and I can call you since I have no long distance charges. I really mean it, Linda, you are not alone, I am here for you whenever day or night that you need me. Know that I am sending you love and big hugs.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I too lost a child.  My son was 17 when it hapened.  It has been almost 11 years and there are times it just is overwhelming.  Never better, just a new normal.  Be good to yourself in these hard times.  My prayers go out to you and your family.  I'm sure Lucy looks down and smiles. How proud she would be of he strength of her mom.  Celebrate life.  Julie

Oh Linda, the words don't come easy but just know that we are praying for you and your family. If you need to talk feel free, I do know how you feel.

Linda, until tonight I hadn't known how Lucy died, just that you had lost a child.  I am so sorry for her loss, and you are such a wonderful mom, wife and friend, and I'm sure she's looking down on all of you now.  What a beautiful little girl and she will never be forgotten.

I was so sorry to hear about your baby girl. I looked at some of the website and you did such a good job writing the journal about all of your feelings before and after her death.  It almost made me cry.  I don't know what you've gone through, but I don't think there could be anything worse than losing a child.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.   Candy
