I can do all things...  / Eddie And Gail Shifflett (know Sandi from bird group )

through Christ which strengeneth me. Philippians 4:13.

Just a quick note to let you know that we are praying for you. These milestone days are so difficult to get through when we lose a loved one.

We will pray that God will encourage and strengthen you. God bless you.

Love in Christ

Praying for you  / Eddie And Gail Shifflett (know mom from bird group )

Dear Sandi

We are new to Quaker parrot forum- and found this page through the group. Our prayers are with you and your family for peace and comfort.

I- Gail- had a dad who did the same thing when I was a little girl. We never did know why- but it took over 45 years for me to finally find peace about it.

The Bible says:

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3

Stay focused on the Lord and you too will one day find peace.

My dad may be gone form earth- but his memory still lives in my heart.

God bless you

Eddie and Gail Shifflett

I'm so very sorry.  / Kathy Couch
I do know how it is to loose someone I love to sucide. You know my story. I'm so sorry. Anniversaries are so terrible all of the pain and heartache comes back. At least it does for me. Big hugs.

I hope you don't leave QP. You would be missed.

To Sandi  / Teresa Thompson (friend)
Sandi:
     This memorial is so very special.  I have the dates that are significant on my calendar, and on the 14th, which is also my deceased sister's birthday, I thought of Jeff. You and I have spent many nights together, crying, talking and remembering Jeff.  I am so very sorry you and Ed have had to go through this loss as well as all the troubles the two of you have endured over the years.  Please know that I will always be here for you, no matter what happens.  You are a dear friend of mine and I love you so very much.

Hi Sandi.....You know my thoughts are prayers are with you....I pray God will give you peace and comfort as you go thru this difficult time... Jeff loves you..and always will...and did not do this to hurt you...I hope you know this....He acted in a time of weakness...a time when he was feeling down....Satan comes to kill steal and destroy....He is the one to blame..not Jeff....He convinced Jeff to do this,he took advantage of him...I hate Satan...He trys to destroy everything...and he is trying to destroy your happiness...too.. But on this day I proclaim.... JOY....PEACE...&...LOVE...I ask you that on this day you remember all the wonderfull things and times you had together....Jeff would not like to see you sad...he had no idea it would cause you all this pain....I know that....and I also know LOVE is what you have for him also....So on this day as you are missing him....let him hug you and  tell you he is sorry and didn't mean to cause you so much hurt, let him tell you he loves you..and forgive him....Remember all the wonderful days...and on those days ...celebrate...the goodness...Try not to focus so much on the day he left....but the days of great achivements...and  just regular days ....be happy for him...If he were looking down...He would be proud of you too...    LOVE you....Charlotte Close

My Heart Cries For You  / Yvonne Ely
Sandi may God keep you and the rest of your family safe and loved until you are able to see Jeff again.  Remembering the good memories and letting go the the heart breaking grief is the hardest thing. It just shows what a strong loving person you are. Close

Thanks for shareing your gift of a son  / Trish

I've never lost a child; my children, however have come close to losing me.  Looking back, I know that I was depressed from the time I was a child.  By the time it was diagnosed, I had 4 children from age 16 to 2 years old.

I offer you the whole compassion of my heart, and the admiration of your strength.

You said that you could not ever know what was so devestating that your son made the decision he did.  While the "big" things in our minds become bigger during depression, so do smaller things.  It is so often not the issue that gets us in trouble, but the way our brain processes the information.

I will always have to fight this fight, but understanding some things about it is a big help.

I am so glad that you can enjoy the loving and funny memories of your son.  Treasure them always.......I know you will.
Meanwhile, know that there are so many people who truly care about you and your son.
Trish, Polly & Buddy

our prayers are with you...  / Vicki
I just read the story of your sons life.. He sounded like a wonderful young man.. The tears rolled as I read your story and I actually felt your pain and suffering. It is such a tragedy when a young person who seems so kind and caring is no longer on this earth..... 
   Our love and prayers are with you and we sure hope your saddness lifts just a little anyway tho we know it will never be gone.
