My Son / Annie Rush (mum) My Son So many days.... Have passed me by.... I want you back.... I sit down and cry....
How do I cope.... I really don't know..... I want to fall in a heap... But I keep on the go.....
Thinking of memories... I end up with a tear.... I know you can see me..... I can feel you are near....
You send me signs.... To brighten my day..... To let me know..... That you are ok....
My broken heart aches.... It is oh so sore.... I think of you.... And the tears just pour....
Well I must go..... To fight another day.... Please don't forget.... You're in my heart to stay....

Thinking of you / Scott,Chels And Tayla (Brother and sisters )
THINKING OF YOU We Thought of you with love today, But that is nothing knew, We Thought about you yesterday, and days before that too, We think of you in silence, We often speak your name (Daniel), All we have are memories, your memory is our keepsake, With which we'll never part, God has you in his keeping, But we have You in our Hearts...
letter from heaven xxx / Terry Reilly (friend angel charlie maclennan )
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above Here there's no more tears of sadness, here is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy, just because I'm out of sight Remember that I am with you morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me, he said 'I welcome you'
'Its good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on'
'I need you here so badly, you are apart of my plan there is so much we can do, to help our mortel man'
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight God and I are close to you... in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth, and all of those loving years Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
Do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you,all that God had planned If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is through More then ever before, I'm so much closer to you
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb But together we can do it, by taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too That as you give into the world, the world will give to you
If you can help somebody, who is in sorrow and pain Then you can say to God at night....'My day was not in vain'
And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when its time for you to go.....from that body to be free Remember you are not going..... You're coming here to me.
Until we are together again i love and miss you all all my love Daniel xxx
We thought of you with love today. But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories. And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake. With which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart..
We all miss you so much, and not a day goes by without you in our thoughts and heart ,all our love today and always, Mum ,Rich, Scott, Chelcie and Tayla xxx
Condolence/ Carole Harden
Oh Annie. Your site has really made me cry tonight. I think I will never be normal again after being with my son James who died in January 2006 aged 20. Those 3 hours with him while all the doctors and nurses worked on him in vain after his road crash, every time I close my eyes I see the scene. I feel for you so much that someone did this to your boy and you must have lived with so much hope for all those days. I hope our boys have met up and had a good laugh together. Carole Close

A shadow of joy flickered; it is me. / Annie Rush (Mum) I told you I wouldn't leave. My memories, my thoughts are imbedded deep in your heart. I still love you. Do not for one moment think that you have been abandoned. I am in the Light. In the corner, in the hall, the car, the yard ~ these are the places I stay with you. My spirit rises every time you pray for me, but my energy comes closer to you. Love does not diminish; it grows stronger. I am the feather that finds you in the yard, the dimmed light that grows brighter in your mind, I place our memories for you to see. We lived in our special way, a way that now has its focus changed. I still crave your understanding and long for the many words of prayer and good fortune for my soul. I am in the Light. As you struggle to adjust without me, I watch silently. Sometimes I summon up all the strength of my new world to make you notice me. Impressed by your grief, I try to impress my love deeper into your consciousness. As you should, I call out to the Heavens for help. You should know that the fountain of youth does exist. My soul is now healthy. Your love sends me new found energy. I am adjusting to this new world. I am with you and I am in the Light. Please don't feel bad that you can't see me. I am with you wherever you go. I protect you, just as you protected me so many times. Talk to me and somehow I will find a way to answer you. Mother, Father, son or daughter, it makes no difference. Brother, sister, lover, husband or wife, it makes no difference. Whatever our connection ~ friend or even foe ~ I see you with my new eyes. I am learning to help wherever you are, wherever I am needed. This can be done because I am in the Light. When you feel despair, reach out to me. I will come. My love for you truly does transcend from Heaven to Earth. Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest that you had when we were together in the physical sense. You owe this to me, but more importantly, you owe it to yourself. Life continues for both of us. I am with you because I love you and I am in the Light.

When child loss occurs, a mother goes through a difficult time of emotional turmoil and questioning. ?Am I still a mother ?Does my child still have a birthday each year, or does time stand still ? Can the mother/child relationship continue to grow, or am I now an unfinished mother
Losing a child places a mother on a road that begins a lonelier journey than ever expected one that can never really be explained. There was a beginning, but with the death of the child, there is no middle and no end. Everything seems so unfinished. Hopes and dreams were stopped far too soon. Joy was snatched away so suddenly. A mother is left with empty arms and an empty heart. Nothing can ever be complete when a childs life ends.
When the death of a child occurs, a mother is stopped in her tracks, and she suddenly feels inadequate and incomplete. She wears a new name. She is an unfinished mother, never being able to see the rest of the picture. She will never be able to watch her child mature into a young adult. She will never be able to see all the pieces fit together. The picture will always have part of the scenery missing. It is so painful to be an unfinished mother! Child loss makes everything seem so empty and incomplete.
The reality of child loss is devastating to a mother. There are overwhelming feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and most often feelings of failure. These feelings can overwhelm a mother for several months following the death of a child, and it can be quite difficult to build a support system to carry a mother through this roller coaster of emotions. Very few people will understand a mother's explanation of feeling like she is an unfinished mother.
There will come a critical point in this journey of grief when a mother must reach deep inside her inner resources and make a conscious decision to accept herself just as she is a mother whose heart has been touched by the pain and grief of child loss. Only then can she start to put together some of the broken pieces and begin to feel like there will be a day when she will feel more like a complete mother than an unfinished mother.
When a child dies, life is suddenly thrown completely off balance. A mother is left feeling like her identity has been taken away. It is often a long difficult journey to find that place of identity as a mother again. It's hard to understand that there is unfinished living that will never be completed. Peace can finally come to a mother's heart when she realizes that there is a big difference between having unfinished business and being left feeling like an unfinished mother.
A mother is never unfinished. No matter how brief her time was with her child, the bond of love between mother and child was complete. A mother's love for her child is unending. Dreams may shatter and circumstances may change, but a mother's love remains strong. As a mother travels the path to healing, it is important for her to remind herself often that she is a mother forever. Her motherhood did not stop when her child died. This understanding of motherhood releases the feelings of guilt and failure and allows a mother to begin to see herself as a whole person again a complete mother.
A mother is never an unfinished mother. A mother's love runs far too deep to ever be called unfinished!
