Question by OK. I see.: Our family went through two tragedies right after each other.?
Now we have read books on “How to get over the loss of a loved one”…and other books..and time has helped. But my whole family says and I agree…RELIVING IT IS NOT HELPFUL…Bu then you get the people that say..”how did it happen?”..I am sooo tired of answering that question…and they ask first. Do most people understand that when they ask that they are TRYING to get you to RE-LIVE stuff that is depressing and not good for you? What i say…is “You know I’d rather not re-live it”..and slowly walk away or start looking around. Your opinion on this…My whole family gets these questions…It is frustrating.

If you be firm and adament about telling everyone that you don’t want to talk about it, then everyone will spread the word for you.

LOSS OF A LOVED ONE “DON’T CRY FOR ME” Comforting Funeral Song (Female Vocal) Original Song

God-inspired original song – a special message from your departed loved one. (A separate video featuring an amazing male vocalist on this song can also be viewed on my YouTube channel or website). I’m a songwriter, not a professional singer, but I did my best to create a female version of this song to help give comfort to those suffering from the loss of a special lady/woman in their lives. Special thanks to Sarah Schauer, Jim Peters, and Kathleen Neely for use of several of the photographs that appear in my video production. To hear additional songs that I have written and/or to obtain a copy of this DVD or a CD of this song, visit my official website at: www.libbyallensongs.com “Don’t Cry for Me’ Words and Music by: Libby L.

Question by looking_for_moare: Aren’t there other ways to grieve/cope with infant loss?
I know a couple women whom have experienced infant loss. They join support groups and whatnot and have amassed large amounts of female friends whom have all lost their children. This is fine and all, but things start to approach sickening and disturbing when these women start posting pics of their dead babies on their Myspace and Facebook profiles. In most of these pics, the baby’s eyelids are all sunken in and the body’s skin is discolored and in stages of decomposition. Then they put the baby into clothes and sit it next to a teddy bear for a photo. It’s just ghastly.

Question by dar d: Please explain this feeling of “LOSS” that many of you go on about. What do you mean?
Maybe I have another word for it or a different feeling.

I would like to understand what you have lost.

If you were adopted as an older child, I understand. You have memories. Otherwise, you have fantasies. If you were adopted as an infant, isn’t this like longing for a country that you have never visited but only heard about?

And all of you wonderful people who adopted “poor abused neglected children” who were old enough to walk and talk, this question is not to you so don’t get offended.

I am really trying to understand this. Excuse my Boston manner.
