Here are what some previous guests have written about my web site:
Comments about the web site: Steve, I feel so priviledged to be the
first person to sign your guestbook. The hair on my neck is still standing....and
my heart is pounding. I know the loss of losing a child. I don't know the
loss of losing two. We have our loss and our faith in common. We have arrived
at some of the same conclusions. Your page has touched me deeply. I hurt
for you......and I rejoice with you. I know you understand that. Love &
Peace, Bill

Comments about the web site: On the connection page, the blue on the
left side is so dark that I can't read what is in that area. The rest of
the site is great. Thank you for having something like this.
My name is: My son killed himself May 30, 1995. It has been very difficult
at times. I don't understand why he did it. I work three jobs and my husband
works 13 hour days. Sometimes I think it is because it keeps us busy enough
not to think about what happen.

Comments about the web site: Steve, Thanks for sharing your story.
I have loss my son,Kyle in August 1996. He was 17 yrs. old. Only another
bereaved parent can understand the feelings that one has. I have found that
talking with other bereaved parents really helps me through the pain. The
hurt at times is overwhelming!!! Somedays are harder than others, at least
I have started remembering the good rather than the bad (the 10 days leading
up to his death). You are a special person being able to make this web site,
I hope I can be that open at a later date. As they say---time helps. I do
write to recently bereaved parents to try to reach out to them. I attempt
to explain what I have encountered and learned about grief. I hope they can
learn from my experiences, it seems to put more meaning in the loss of my
son. You change forever after such a loss. Thanks again for the site, it's
beautiful!!!!! Jerry Fink

Comments about the web site: Very touching, the stories about your
children are beautiful. I would love to do something like that. My 9 year
old son Eric was killed 7 years ago. I have never been able to bring myself
to focus on such a tribute to him. I still can't seem to remain sane if I
dwell on thinking about losing him for too long. Was it a release to be able
to do that about your daughters?

Comments about the web site: Beverly, here. First of all, thanks for
your answer to my plea for help. Second, thanks for caring. My note I'm leaving
is one of desperation. I have been fighting the system for a year for my
son who is innocent of crime because there wasn't one. I can't understand
my situation and why................... who are you?

Comments about the web site: Forgive me. I feel so ashamed for even
asking for your help. I don't want to lose my son. I've lost my grandson
and my family is so numb from all of this I have just been reaching out.
To have someone with the pain that you have endured take the time to help
me makes me ashamed for asking for help. God Bless You and give you peace.

Comments about the web site: Sir, thank you for your web site. I lost
my daughter, Brandi Lynn, on June 22, 1996. Brandi was 19 days shy of being
17 years old. Brandi was killed instantly in an auto accident. In this same
accident, I came as close as possible to losing my daughter Brooke. She sustained
a traumatic head injury, requiring a life flight 120 miles south to Houston.
She was rushed into brain surgery, there were no options. Today, she is a
miracle. She is maintaining all A's in her freshman courses at school. I
am so grateful that Brooke's life was spared, but I have the burden of losing
my daughter, my friend, my hero, my Brandi. I can't imagine your pain at
losing two of your beloved children. I pray that God holds our children in
the most tender spot of His heart until at last, we are reunited. Again,
thank you for your web site - it is a much needed comfort.

Comments about the web site: I was touched by your web site. I lost
my 16 year old daughter in a one car rollover and no one had any answers
for me. They say it just happened and it was one of those things. I feel
death is hardest to deal with when you have no reason why.

Comments about the web site: I've been "surfing" the net for the last
week, searching through sites pertaining to grief. My husband and I lost
our 14 year old son, our only child, to suicide on Feb.24, 1997. We are still
in shock, but realization seems to sink in, in bits and pieces. Like other
bereaved parents, we are truly devasted. I just want to let you know I
appreciated visiting your homepage. I'm astounded by the work of many of
the bereaved paents in what they do to help others and themselves, and in
the beautiful way they memorialize their children. I'm a beginner when it
comes to the computer, our son was the expert; so I'm just muddling along
with my search on the net. Sincerely, Anita Triplett. Email: trip@voicenet.com

Comments about the web site: Our 30 year old son committed suicid
May 16, 1995. No drugs or alcohol were involved. He had phoned me 2 days
before on Mothers day. He left a wife and 3 children devestated. May is not
my best month. My faith in God has sustained and comforted me.

Comments about the web site: Interesting reading for someone who lost
a loved one and is trying to understand what my father is facing. After a
year, he is still pretty guilt ridden (it was the suicide of my brother..)
and can't even look at a picture of him. I am just the opposite and went
about life not even thinking of him, but since his suicide I keep his picture
on my desk so I never will forget what he looked like...

Comments about the web site: I have visited your site before- at a
different URL, perhaps? (she visited at
http://members.aol.com/Ethesis/sloss.htm before the move to
http://adrr.com/living/ ). Anyway, I applaud your willingness to share
your experiences with others...Perhaps together we can make a difference
in the lives of others who have experienced such tragic losses and don't
know where to turn...Congratulations also on the birth of your daughter and
the successful surgery. Seems like a new chapter in your life :-)
