Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I know that the death of your boyfriend and the aftermath, with his mother, must have been difficult and I congratulate you on coming to a point of being able to forgive and detach. My brother, who lost his youngest son 5 years ago, will never forgive Kenny's murderer (probably the hardest thing anyone could ever be called upon to do!) and will never quit grieving...it is a very sad situation. It is good that you have compassion and understanding for your ex's mother, she is dealing with the worst possible loss, just as you said. Interesting, yellow roses are what Kenny's mother (my brother's ex-wife) put on Kenny's grave... BTW, how are you coming along with the Safeties?

I understand grief can do many odd things to a person, especially someone who lost a child. I sent her flowers, I had an overwhelming urge to send yellow roses. She may never try to reach me, but that's okay. THanks, and I will read through the safeties.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Dear Claudia, That is interesting about the roses! That so sad about your brother's son. I hope he can find peace one day. To be honest, I havent had time to study them. I briefly read over, and I know my diet is drastically improved (I Just started weight watchers with my mother) I was binge eating toom much and that's never good! I am in the middle of trying to go about buying a townhouse so Ive been so ditracted lately. THank you for your help!
