He indicated that kids have come to think these kind of events are a risk in attending school today. What a terrible burden this is on our kids. I can't imagine the fear & stress this creates. We need some celebrity or nationally known figure to get behind a movement to make our schools safer irrespective of gun control issues. That debate is just too devisive, but I believe other measures can be taken to promote safety and mental health care.MAY YOUR LAUGHTER LIVE/ Rosemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04986992111457567849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168130024720361359.post-16328152872121018102014-06-11T07:31:25.604-07:002014-06-11T07:31:25.604-07:00I totally agree with everything you say.

Our situations are both overwhelming and lonely in a world where most people have children and grandchildren. Losing a child is losing part of your future. Yet, we must find ways to go on and come back to the world and create a future.

Seventeen months is a ...Dear GrahamForeverInMyHeart<br />Seventeen months is a very short time in the grieving process, especially the loss of a child. You have some stages to go through yet before you can get to transformation, but you have been acquainted with the idea. It took me a long time to arrive at this stage. I should have made that clearer. I am sure you will arrive at a point where you will be able to redefine yourself. Just not yet. Meanwhile, pay particular attention to your own needs, both physical and emotional health. Please try to take care of yourself. Rest and nutrition are very important. If you can exercise and meditate, this may help. I would urge you to get Kathleen O'Hara's book, "A Grief Like No Other." I am sure it would be of help to you. You don't have to tackle the whole book. Page through and read what seems relevant to your situation now. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
