    Re: My Update - I was told I need to write...

    Wow I am sorry. What a major tragedy for you to have to bare all at once. That you have picked yourself up and continued on with life and this woe is a sign of your strength even at a young age.

      Thank you so much. And I agree - they are with me. I talk to them outloud and in my head every day and at the funeral (at that point only mom and dad were dead, grandma died a week later from her injuries) but at the funeral I told them to give me a sign they were OK and we walked outside and there they were. Two big big rainbows in the sky...they stayed for 1 hour long and two hawks were flying directly over the house....it was amazing. I love and miss them so much but I believe they are all still with me and are having the time of their lives in heaven...I know it's a wonderful place and that comforts me.

      Thankyouuuuuuu everyone
      Oh and people have commented I'm looking thinner (bc I had put on almost 10-15 pounds from eating so much) but I"m happy to be taking control and making my parents proud by being healthy....and I have gone to therapy already too...and spoken with another girl whose parents were both killed 3 years ago ---we have alot in common and that makes me feel good too...

        So sorry for your loss, losing your parents when you are just in your twenties is devastating. I will keep you in my prayers that God gives your the strength to go on.

          you are very strong. i am so sorry for your loss. i lost my own mom suddenly on new year'e eve 5 years ago. and i know she is my BIGGEST supporter in this new way of healthy living for me. our parents always want what is best for us. i often think of her when i making decisions about how to take care of myself. i know she would be proud. your family would be too....good luck friend. stay around and we are all here to help you too.
