I lost a child and my husband in a car crash. Life goes on, whether you want it or not.
You have two choices, either live or die, no in between and when you choose to live, you'd better make something out of it and be positive! No use wallowing in your grief...

I have this to say about that.
Like others I also have lost people very close to me,
I try to live my life in a way that I think would please
all my loved ones. Just about all of them, alive and not
alive share the same joy of life that I do, that is how
I handle the whole thing.

Three years ago my brother John died of a rare bone marrow disorder. We were born 13 months apart. Not a day goes by that I do not miss him, but life if for the living.

Angela......
I did not know that, and I am not sure you have ever shared that.
I am grief stricken to hear of it.

Sigh.

Julie, I think you stated That very well. In the depth of my dispair, I thought of suicide. Just the thought of doing it scared the hell out of me. I wanted to live! From that day on life was better everyday. I have been married to a great lady since 1996. I live for today and the future. The past is called the past for a reason. You cant live in it, Nor would I want to. The things that happend in the past are what made me what I am today. And I really like today and look forward to tomorow.

James........
I have thought about it many times too.
I just promised myself that I could not go there because my brother did.
As such, cannot ever.
Not an option I can ever perceive.
