I want to thank you Florence, for having the strength to start this. I want to be able to support those of you in your loss. I pray that this site is a help and comfort for those who mourn, and an encouragement to get through the pain and sorrow each day. God bless you all. Let's all work together.

Florence,
Thank you so much for including me into this discussion. It is not only a priveledge but an honor to know that there are soldiers who gave their lives for me to be here with you all today. My prayers go out to all of those who have lost their loved ones to the military.

Hi Florence,
thanks for the invite :) I lost my best Friend (Army) in 2003 in Iraq and my Husband is carrying the scars from it too. It's hard and thanks for opening this group :).

Thank you for the invite Florence. I would love to join the group. I haven't lost a loved one but I will offer prayers and just listen. We all need to support each other.

I would love to be apart of this group. And I'm willing to help as much as I can. Anything that you need please let me know. God Bless

Not having lost a loved one, I am interested in being a part of the group for prayers and anything I might be able to do to help the families of these heros.
I sew and currently am making "freedom wraps' to send to our servicemen/women as a free gift to honor their service and sacrifice for our freedom. freedom wraps are 'do-rags' - we gave a different name to hopefully have more meaning. (cotton head clothes that tie in back) I'd like to know if there are any children or babies that I could make a small patchwork quilt (I am NOT an expert, but like to make these) and could, perhaps have embroidered with a message of their mother's choice. (I would have to have help with that part) Just a thought.
Thanks for any consideration and suggestions that you may have.
Our prayers are with these families.
Colleen LaSalle (Sister of Brenda Sue - Texas group)

I have not lost a child/spouse/relative in the military. However, I feel the need to be with any one on this journey and to offer prayers.

I thought it would be helpful to many whom have lost a love one in a war zone to have a place to come and post about their lost. This might be the 1st place for these Moms to come when they join N4M and other Navy For Moms may come and give their condolence and offer their support .
Everyone on Navy For Moms have been vary supportive to me from the very first day I joined. However, I think I may have been the first mom to join after the lost of my son. Since I have found so many friends here I would like for all to know there is a group here for anyone to come and share their grife. So I have started of with givening some ensight I have learned though dealing with my own grife and I hope it will be helpful to those who come to this group. Please feel free to ask questions and if we don't know the answer right off, we will research the question and get back to you with our findings.

I lost my son 04-06-07 and he was my youngest son and the youngest of my four children. The first thing I want to let you know there will aways be someone to listen to you. Also know it is ok to feel whatever you are feeling from the moment you got the news right up to this moment. I can tell you, you will always have your good and bad days from now on. You gave birth and loved & still love your son/daughter, that you will never get over so done let anyone tell you that you will. Mom don't be afraid to talk about your son/daughter when every you want to. I found that talking about my son gets me thur the day. Also know to let people tell you how you should feel by any certain amount of passed time. You are the one to make all the decisions on your grife and how you deal with it. If you like being able to look at pictures of son/daughter when you walk though your home then keep all of his pictures out, however, if they hurt to much to look at then it your choice if you want to put them away. Pictures of my son are all over my home and on every website I belong to as well as my sceen saver on both of my computers and on my cell phone. I also took his pictures where ever there was a wall honoring fallen heros. Each of us deal with our pain in one way... our way and that is ok. You have taken a good strong step by joining us here on Navy for Moms. I also hope that you have been contacted by the Gold Star Mothers as well as a local group you can join. Within the GSM groups we share our feelings, memories, stories, pictures, and our children's birthdays. On the child birthday we take a birthday cake to our meeting and celebrate their birth and share something very special to us about our child.
Mom, have you found Legacy.com if you have not found this site you can go there and look for Honor Heros from Afganistan and Iraq War on Terrorism click on that then on the next page at the top put in your son's/daughter's information then click and it should take you to his guestbook. When you find his/her guestbook if you would let us I know we would all love go to it and sign it for you and your family. It feels my heart to go to Adam's guestbook and read what people from diffrence places all over the world. Some knew him well and some had never met him but wanted to honor and thank him for the life he gave for them and our country.
Mom, I have written most of this directly to you, however, I do not want to over look the pain your child's father and/or siblings must feel as of the lost of this child/sibling. Be sure they knows it is ok to show their feelings for this child/sibling. My two older sons cried out with pain when they went in for their finnal good by to Adam and they and his sister miss him greatly.
I am sending your way my love, hugs, prayers, and my shoulders to help carry your pain becasuse their are many angels out there helping me carry my pain especially on those days I feel I can not hold the weight any more. I am so happy for you because you have found hug home of many angels willing to give you there support at any moment. Also there is NavyDads.com where both mom, dad, & especially male siblings might want check out. Your sons might find it a little to share their feelings with males. God bless you and you family.

My Father In Heaven Is In Control Of All Things,
Florence, Adam's Mom
