I was never supported by anyone.
On the contrary...when the the first child died, I was shunned by the in laws, and divorce resulted.
I was alone.
And raised the other 2 by myself.
I handled it...OK?
Then we had another death due to colon cancer...
I have never asked anyone for """support""" for this loss, nor any other loss I have.

Now that we have established that you are better, stronger person than I am, what's next?

How coincidental that we've both lost loved ones to colon cancer.

So, next question is , what are you doing about it?
Helping?
Supporting the cause?
I myself support the cause, as does my family.
ALL my family.
And we can conduct our lives daily without anything else said.
It does not come bubbling up at every post.
It is something that happened...it hurts, it was horrid, then it was empty.

Please note:

I am not a "better nor stronger person than you"""
As you so have said............

What I am,
is a woman.
We are pretty used to this sort of thing.

What am I doing about it - that's a good question.

Regarding my daughters death, I'm doing the best I can. She was born on Dec 20th, 1987; died May 20th, 2011. I'm finding this first holiday season without her extremely difficult. I wish I could do 'better'. Not sure what 'better' is -- but what I am doing now is *certainly* not good enough for you CL. I honestly don't know how to try any harder.

It is never my intention to cause others discomfort. Seems I have failed at that endeavor.

CL -- I never knew you lost a child until today. I don't think any parent should outlive a child.
