Shane Short My Angel Son

Shane has many sites I have created online so that he wont be forgotten as this is a Mom's greatest fear. But we communicated so much thru writing, poetry, stories, letters, etc so I needed a blog to write to him. Shane was born July 17,1972 and was shot and killed March 10,1995. No justice was or will ever be served on earth but one day this person will stand before God and He, the ultimate Judge will finally give us justice.

Grief

Nobody can possibly understand the pain and grief of losing a child unless they have walked in our shoes. Friends, please dont tell an angel Mom that she needs to "get over this" or "get on with their lives" or "get past" . Please dont say "at least you have another child" or "things could be worse" or "there's a reason for everything" or the worst "I know how you feel"?    Because you have no idea how they feel and we pray daily that no other mom will ever know how we feel. We once lived a normal life with a normal family just like you and thought just like you, that this could Never happen to us, No Way? But we found out very quickly, it can, will and did . Most of us never even got the chance to say good-by to our precious child. There is no way that you could know the feeling of walking away from a cemetery plot, leaving your child there, knowing you will never hold them again on this earth, that you have to find some way of making it thru each day without them. This is the most horrifying shock and loss you will ever know. No matter how much you think you understand, believe me, you dont and I pray you never will. I thought for several years that nobody knew how I felt, until I got a computer and started searching thru the memorial sites and cried as I felt the hurt and pain pouring off of the pages. I really thought that I was crazy until I realized how many others were walking this gried road, how many moms knew Exactly how I felt. I thank God for these moms because we walk this road together trying to encourage each other to go on, loving and supporting each other every step of the way. This is a group that none of us ever wanted to be in and it doesnt get easier, better or even normal ever again but we can make it thru, one day at a time with each ther holding onto us until we are reunited with our angel one day for eternity.

Adding Photos & Links

I will be adding links and photos of Shane and his other sites, places you can leave a message, light a candle, leave a flower, dedicate a song, etc,etc. It is so important our angels not be forgotten. We know that they will never be forgotten by us but eventually even family members start to avoid mentioning their name and even avoiding us altogether. We find out who our real friends are after this loss because most of my friends quit calling because I was too depressing, I wasnt getting back to normal fast enough for them. We never know what normal is after this loss.

Self Help

I think this site will be different from Shane's other sites. I am going to try to use the blog and things to help me get thru each day. There are so many things I want to tell him or say to him, especially with the holidays approaching, very hard time for us moms. My thoughts and prayers are with all angel moms always.
