That's exactly how I feel about the phrase "time would heal". To me it has such a negative connotation. As if Joe left behind a wound. And for right now, no, I don't want to "heal", as you said, I just want my Joey back. <br />As always thank you for your support. Your words provide comfort that perhaps others just cannot.LyndaGracenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-87769152626680191172012-08-06T17:36:14.057-04:002012-08-06T17:36:14.057-04:00Oh dear Lynda.

I was angry with those who told me "time would heal". I didn't want to heal. I wanted my Jessie back. It does get a little easier, as you "learn to live with it", like the reduction in the slide show you discribed. But it's still so painful. I'm so, so, sorry. The only thing that gives me real comfort is the one of my faith, and my belief that I will see him again.Holly Garrettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-33378553895731355202012-08-06T15:47:40.131-04:002012-08-06T15:47:40.131-04:00Oh dear Lynda.

Thank you. I appreciate, probably more than...Mark,<br />Thank you. I appreciate, probably more than you can imagine, the support you have shown me since our journey began. Although I may not comment very often on your pieces, I want you to know that I am here following you as you also navigate through some troubled waters. I believe the pieces you have written regarding MSD :) are courageous. I'm sure they provide support for those who share such a diagnosis. But perhaps more importantly they provide an insight to those of us who were not knowledgable about it, allowing us to be more compassionate and understanding.LyndaGracenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-69914504349927171222012-08-05T11:36:04.223-04:002012-08-05T11:36:04.223-04:00"They" probably mean well and frequently..."They" probably mean well and frequently use the term, "Research indicates that grief should last..." You know that they have no idea of what you are experiencing, just as I do not. I always wonder at the timing that brought me to your blog-site, in the opening days of my venturing out into the world, at the same time as your voyage began. I would imagine that no one would begrudge your missing of Joey. You are writing, getting out and taking pictures, finding some solace in the support of Ross and others, and making do. That's what one does, and you appear to be doing it as well as possible. By sharing your journey, you allow others with sons and daughters, to put hard times into perspective. Thank you for sharing.Mark O'Neillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-26010392496049615332012-08-05T09:09:06.364-04:002012-08-05T09:09:06.364-04:00We will always miss Joey.
