My deepest condolences to your family, although this happened in 2011. I'm just learning about it now. Although you may not remember who I am we lived next door to each other on Buffalo street when you were just 4 years old, I will say a rosary for your son this evening.

No matter what anyone says to comfort you it will not matter. And yes it takes time but it will not get easier on your heart. That is my opinion. You will learn to tolerate it (live with it so to speak) I want to tell your children...brother and 2 sisters? that what they are feeling is normal. I read some books after I went through the initial shock, isolation, no eating phase and our feelings are normal that we feel. Please stay strong, seek your comfort from your family and your closest friends (the true friends). You will think about what you will miss in the future, what could you have done to save him, why did you leave me, all kinds of thoughts went through my head. We just went on a whole family vacation two weeks before the accident. Please stay strong and keep a strong faith. If you keep your eyes open you may even see signs from him. I AM NOT weird. My love is very strong for my brother. He was 6'4 and 27 years old. I am 10 yrs older and I adored my little brother. Stay close to your family and God. I have a pendant of the two of us the last picture taken together while on a trip to see our Grandpa for his 90th b-day a month prior to our family trip. I also wear shirts with him on it from the last trip but no sad sayings. And my license plate reads wording about my brother. These are things I some how got strength to do to help me cope with my feelings. God Bless your family. Most Sincerely, Christy *You may feel like you cannot handle it and want to give up. I did and I had to seek help, my family helped me through this and I felt the need to be with them and stopped seeing the doc. STAY STRONG! Think of what he loves about you and who he would want you to become as your grow up and make that your goal.

I am so very sorry for your loss.My thoughts & prayers are with you & your entire family .God bless you all.

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect. Without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you. For an interval. Somewhere. Very near. Just around the corner. All is well, Poem by Henry Scott Holland A friend of my family sent this poem when my nephew, Rinze Davidson, was killed in a vehicle accident last month, he was 18 years old also. When I read it, it helped me a little. Your family are in my prayers. I believe James and Rinze are together, keeping each other company until their family meets up with them. God Bless
