<p>Psychomom, holding a good thought for you. The holidays must be so hard… wish I knew something wise and encouraging to say.</p>
<p>Penny my continued prayers that you find the strength to get through these difficult days</p>
<p>Penny,
Sorry you had such a tough day. I can see how a day that’s all about being thankful could be nearly impossible right about now. I hope things get better. Be kind to yourself. You are far from worthless. Indeed, you’ve been remarkably strong and graceful under the most extraordinary pain. Hang in there. Many hugs.</p>
<p>Penny: I know you had deep real heartache today…and that these holidays will indeed be hard on you and your loved ones. I wish we could help you make sense out of your loss of your darling son.<br>
Please vent here anytime because there is no reason in the world that you would be any place but feeling hurt over your first holidays after the accident and loss of young lives. You have been hurt. People who love deeply will grieve deeply.<br>
Please hold on to the good you provided for your son and to the happy memories you received from raising him. </p>
<p>You know that peace and tenderness is what your son would want for you now…so give it to yourself as best you can. </p>
<p>hang in there. you deserve the same things you wish for your friends, peace of mind, meaningful work and relationships that last and sustain us through life’s blows. Treat yourself as you would treat any mother who is bereaved. </p>
<p>Please take good care of yourself…I am thinking of you.</p>

<p>Aw Penny, I am so sorry, my heart goes out to you. I’ll say a prayer for you and your family and know that all of us on here do care.</p>
<p>Just sending a big hug.</p>
<p>I woke up early yesterday and you were on my mind. There are so many people that are thinking of you. Hold tight…the holidays are so hard when someone has had such a huge loss…sending hugs to you.</p>
<p>Penny, I can not even begin to imagine how hard this is for you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.</p>
<p>Hold tight to those around you and to yourself. Give yourself permission to not have to carry on holiday traditions this year if you don’t want to. The passing of time will get you through the raw pain of this first holiday season.This holiday season will come to a close. Sending my strength and prayers to you.</p>
<p>I hope you and your husband can hang on to each other and help each other out. You’re both going through the most awful kind of pain. I hope that you both come out on the other side with happy memories and a strong bond between you.</p>
<p>Penny,</p>
<p>All I can do is beam you love. I hope you believe in remote energy (I won’t say remote prayer because I am not religious) and that all of us together can ease your pain a little.</p>
<p>I know this holiday season is and will continue to be incredibly difficult for you, but it will pass, and no other can ever be the first one again.</p>
<p>Hold on tight.</p>
<p>Love.</p>
<p>my thoughts are with you. i am amazed by your strength and courage.</p>
<p>Penny - You have already shown such incredible strength; iit must be hard to have to find even more to get through the holiday season. Your loss has affected so many of us.
