I do this with most crosses I see because of how I lost my younger brother in a motorbike accident in rotorua march 2016.I only today googled who Samantha, kayla <br />and josh were and I'm so sorry for your loss, I can imagine the pain you have to live with and it's not fair how life picks us for such a test of strength. Even though it gets easier it still changes everything. Rest in paradise Samantha josh and kayla ❤️❤️❤️Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972069455519192380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542888772391967405.post-70419503375754038442012-03-15T03:51:24.168-07:002012-03-15T03:51:24.168-07:00<3<3<3<3 beautifully written..<3<3<3<3 beautifully written..The Year to Achieve Resultshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794076340544432465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542888772391967405.post-63063116261060338522012-03-15T00:25:49.544-07:002012-03-15T00:25:49.544-07:00Oh thanks so much for your kind & lovely words...Oh thanks so much for your kind & lovely words Linda, much appreciated & thank you for sharing your story with me too. I know they do say time is a healer, I just think each day gets a little bit easier then the last but never fully that same. I am lucky to have 2 very special angels that watch over me & will forever be with me in my heart. xoxoMel76https://www.blogger.com/profile/10062221424501830567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542888772391967405.post-85502473231329885542012-03-14T23:10:40.406-07:002012-03-14T23:10:40.406-07:00I couldn't read this and NOT post. That is a h...I couldn't read this and NOT post. That is a horrible, horrible, tragic thing to go through. I completely understand the layers of grief .. and how you could use food to not only get by, but to function and numb the pain.<br />My brother died in a motorbike accident, Jan 13, 3 years ago. Amazingly for me (as I only usually drink once or twice a year) I pretty much turned into an alcoholic - in that I couldnt' make it through the day without one drink. Somedays I could knock off 8 beers or so .. it got that bad. Sometimes I even drank in the morning.<br />My 'grief tonic' wasn't as noticeable perhaps as yours with weight gain - and only hubby really knew how much I drank (and needed a drink) - but it scarred me and sometimes made me feel worse, not better.<br />So I 'get' where you are .. I haven't lost 2 siblings - so I don't know that pain .. but I hope that with the shedding of weight, and with the grief that will return - you will be stronger this time to deal with it.<br />They say (whoever they are!!) time heals all wounds - it kinda does but then it also doesn't.<br />Take care, enjoy the weight loss for what it is - and bestest wishes for your continuing (never ending I expect) battles with grief.<br />You sound like a strong person with a great hubby so I hope by the time you reach your goal (or even just the 70's!!) you feel happier rather than sad.<br /><br />Take care, Linda (fellow 12wbt-er)JOE.
