Somedays I have the courage to read your blog, somedays I don't. I lost my son at birth and have since had another. He's 7 months now and CANNOT imagine what I would do if something happened to him too. That's why it's hard for me to read your words. Maybe they hit too close to home. Since I have been through something similar, I can tell you that the intense, world-shattering grief will give way to something a little less acute. It took about a year for me...and now I have made peace. I stopped questioning 'why' because I knew I would never get the answer I was seeking. I'm not good at praying buy I certainly will hold you, Kara, and James close to my heart for a long time to come. Hang in there. There will come a day when it feels like you have a firmer grasp, as opposed to hanging on by your fingertips.

My boy turned 9 months old the other day and I kept thinking about James and his journey.<br /><br />He has touched many lives and we will never forget him.<br /><br />I think you are brave and courageous and an inspiration. The thing I personally hate about Grief is that it is a never ending journey, not an event. And it changes you.<br /><br />So many people are thinking about you, and hoping that you will just keep going.Faux Fuchsiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317677066408030053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155082621754325562.post-75271830861969362832011-12-21T07:54:04.270-06:002011-12-21T07:54:04.270-06:00I am a total stranger to you and in no way can rel...I am a total stranger to you and in no way can relate to your loss.

Slowly you begin to realize that the things that early after death brought the most pain now conjure smiles and warm, glowing feelings. in time you reconcile your life with a gaping hole and you settle in. Little by little the gaping hole shrinks until it is smaller enough to not let all the joy slip out. There is no way over, under or around this pain. There is only through it. And why wouldn't you go through it? Because the love is so much bigger that getting through it honors that love. Slowly, in time you will realize it just doesn't hurt as much. My mama is a smart lady. Our David has been gone 47 years. God bless you Sikes family! Praying that the promise of Christmas is the first moment that brings relief to the deep and abiding pain.Auntie Miphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08587331779041550284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155082621754325562.post-28261059769247382282011-12-20T20:41:34.496-06:002011-12-20T20:41:34.496-06:00I love your posts.

You write elegantly, poignantly, and I always learn something valuable from reading them.<br /><br />The death of my child incapacitated me, although I still functioned when I absolutely had to as if nothing had happened. Alone, with no demands on the weekends, I stayed in bed without planning to for one entire year. Sleep was a blessed escape. Finally, a year after his death, I made myself get up on Saturdays and spend half a day walking dogs at the SPCA. After two years, I taught a Sunday School class for homeless women, though I learned more than they. After three years, I taught at toddler class in an inner city church. After four years, I am watching my husband slowly die of cancer. Somehow we keep going even when it seems impossible. It happens one day at a time.<br /><br />James will always be a part of you. There will be good and bad days. One day you will be surprised that the good days have started to come more often.<br /><br />Grieving is hard work. Go easy on Sikes.Galenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132369804080588683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155082621754325562.post-82625135459525947112011-12-20T15:08:04.901-06:002011-12-20T15:08:04.901-06:00Matthew, I will be praying for you and Kara this C...Matthew, I will be praying for you and Kara this Christmas.mommyto3https://www.blogger.com/profile/04844467355934742667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155082621754325562.post-13524039366287615402011-12-20T11:10:52.254-06:002011-12-20T11:10:52.254-06:00There are so many times that I start a comment for...There are so many times that I start a comment for you and Kara and I end up backspacing all the way to the beginning because it seems that no words I can construct seem good enough to let you both know how heavy you lie on my heart.
