A candle for you / Jo-Ann Pacenta Lauren's Mom (another heartbroken mom )
Have you ever noticed that when we light one candle from another it does not diminish the glow of the first candle. In fact for just a moment the flame grows taller and brighter. Mei all the candles that have been lit in memory of precious Adam glow like a bright star in the night sky and let you know that you and your angel are thought about in a very special way.
It's been so long since my last message to you with all the problems with the sites etc. Please know that Adam will always have a special place in my heart. Sending many hugs your way today Jane.
Happy Valentine's Day! / Wm. Scott &. Samantha Myers

You are not alone / Melissa Hedge (Passing Through )
Jane, Sometimes the pain of loosing someone you love makes you forget that you are not alone. Thank you so much for lighting a candle on my Dad's site. It brought tears to my eyes to see that other people really do care, And that I am not alone. You and your family are in my thoughts and Prayers may God Bless you all. Melissa Daughter of Angel Paul W. Thomas
When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could re-live yesterday Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you." Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.

Angel Quote / Angelica Grover (Twinless Twin) Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you. St. Francis De Sales
2009/ Kevin Poling (Friend) I knew Adam for so many years, and sadly after moving to San Diego lost contact. I just recently (yesterday) learned of his passing and was deeply saddened. Adam was one of the most lovable people I have ever met, always had a smile and a hug for everyone he ever came into contact with.
I miss and love you my beautiful friend, but know you will always be in my heart!
To his family, my heart goes out to you. Adam was and always will be a beautiful, loving, funny and loving man that will never be forgotten.
Warmest regards, Kevin Poling-Vasquez
Offering some help Jane .................... / An Angel Mom Who Cares About You Jane (friend of many angels ) Its Christmas time once again. Here we all sit and await the actual day to be done and over with and move towards another new year. Yet, each of us is still stuck in a time warp of sorts. We are faced with the loss of our child. That means the depth of our pain is different for the level of time since our child passed away. In my case its 10 years and counting. There are others who are new to this path. I once told my friends and members, grief has no time limits or rules I truly mean that with all my heart.
Each of us is forced to wear masks of sorts to make the world around us ok with the grief we are living. Secretly we are suffering in a depth we wish no other person to share. Yet, in that same manner we are here in a group listening reading and sharing this pain. It is obvious to me that depending on our grief and levels of grief, helping others becomes the normal at some point. In doing the helping and sharing as I do. I also find we in our grief, share another common thread. Dysfunction. Yes, as hard as it may seem to the outside world for us to cope. We do, but the cost is a very high price. AS most of us already know we loose friends, and sometimes even family members who just do not want to cope or deal with our dysfunctional state of minds. After all we are supposed to keep going and acting like nothing happened they expect us to continue raising children, taking care of our families and jobs as if nothing happened. Then in time we are blind sided by that grief once again. Many are now experiencing that grief and anger all over again now at the ten year mark. It is in my limited knowledge I made a connection I think all of you must be aware of. If we do not deal with this grief, correctly in the beginning, it will resurface and with a vengeance.
Now I know what your saying, I have to keep going, I have other children, I have a job, I have a spouse. All of those are facts, but so is your grief. So putting it on hold or burring it does not allow it to be dealt with. It just forces it to the back ground until it once again surfaces and becomes over whelming. It causes much more anger the second time around then had it been dealt with in the beginning.
I want to share this with all of you. A few of you already know I tried to stop living. But in my grief, I had other factors not all must deal with. I had lost the two girls I had raised for 18 years after leaving their abusive father. So I in effect lost four children all with in a couple of years. I went from being a full time Mother of four to a mother of none. Talk about hitting a brick wall. So yes when I fell, I fell long and deep. I didn't do anything except eat, sleep, and work online. My house took a royal dump. My husband stood by me and is now paying his price for doing it all. I am forever grateful he is in my life, and I am blessed he saved me from myself. But in all of this the lesson most prominent to me is this. Face your pain and grief as early as possible, because stifling it and hiding it or not working through it will only lead to more extensive pain later on.
I realize the world expects us to keep going. I realize some of us have no choice. But my experience has taught me many things. First and foremost you are responsible for your emotions and how you deal with them. No one else can take those feelings away from you unless you allow them too. So stand tall and allow your feelings to be verbalized and expressed. To those who do not want to listen, I say, OH well, I did not want to loose my child either. But I was forced too so you are forced to do one of two things. Help me or leave me. But either way the price is high.
This holiday season, be kind, be gentle, be honest, and work towards healing. But in that healing know that helping others, does indeed help you also. Share your stories, share your emotions, share your insights. To the new members who need it so badly. Give them light at the end of the day when they sit at this machine and type their feelings. Give them validity to know they are not alone.
I have also learned that talking about our children is most helpful in our grief process. Sharing stories of their lives. Sharing their emotions and letting the world know they were your family and you want them never to be forgotten. Honor them by being honest with yourself first and the family second. Honor their lives by honoring your grief. Both are now part of your normal. To those who do not understand this pain, I say "I pray you never do"!.
God Bless each of you in your path of grief, and know your never alone Merry Christmas and may your new year be full of great memories of your child.

Adam, do they Trick or Treat in Heaven? How I miss the fun times we always had. Be happy and look for me.
Love,
Dana
OUR GRIEF / Jane (Adam's Mom ) We wish Adam hadn't died. We wish we had him back.
We wish you wouldn't be afraid to speak Adam's name. Adam lived and was very important to us. We need to hear that he was important to you also.
If we cry and get emotional when you talk about Adam, we wish you knew that it isn't because you have hurt us. Adam's death is the cause of our tears. You have talked about him and you have allowed us to share our grief. We thank you for both.
Being a bereaved parent is not contagious, so we wish you wouldn't shy away from us. We need you now more than ever. We need diversions, so we do want to hear about you, but we also want you to hear about us. We might be sad and we might cry, but wish you would let us talk about Adam; if our hearts are needing to. We know that you think of and pray for us often.we also know that Adam's death pains you too.We wish you would let us know these things through a phone call, a card a note, or a real big hug.
We wish you wouldn't expect our grief to be over. These first years have been traumatic for us, but we wish you could understand that our grief will never be over.We will suffer the death of Adam until the day we die.
We are working hard in our recovery, but we wish you could understand that we will never fully recover. We will always miss Adam and we will always grieve that he is gone.
We wish you wouldn't expect us "not to think about it" or "be happy". Neither will happen for a very long time, if ever, so don't frustrate yourself.
We don't want to have a "Pity party", but we do wish you would let us grieve. We must hurt before we can heal.
We wish you understood how our life has shattered. We know it is uncomfortable for you to be around us when we're feeling miserable. We only ask for your patience during these times.
When we say, "We're doing okay", we wish you could understand that we don't "feel" okay and that we struggle daily.
We wish you knew that all of the grief reactions we're having are very normal. Depression, anger, hopelessness and overwhelming sadness are all to be expected. So please excuse us when we're quiet and withdrawn or irritable and cranky.
Your advice to "take it one day at a time" is excellent advice. However, a day is too much and too fast for us right now.We wish you could understand that we're doing good to handle an hour at a time.
Please excuse us if any of this sounds rude, that is certainly not our intent. Sometimes the world around us goes too fast and we need to get off and spend quiet time together, alone with our memories of Adam. We wish you understood that grief changes people. When Adam died, a big part of us died with him. We are not the same people we were before Adam died and we will never be those people ever again. We wish very much that you could understand ~ understand our loss and our grief. But.... We pray daily that you will never understand.
Praying for you and your family on Adams Heavenly Anniversary. I pray God blesses you with peace and you know that Adam is with you on this day. Love and hugs! Patti Rawls, Angel Dustin Rawls
IN LOVING MEMORY OF ANGEL ADAM / Carol Carico (none)
