Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 TJ Thanks for the lovely email. You above all know exactly what it is like and everything you said is almost exactly like Danny. He was almost finished the 8th grade when he passed. The big talk around school before this boys suicide was the Grade 9 graduation (his school was junior high Gr 7-9) and Danny's best friend has been fairly withdrawn as they had many plans for graduation so I think they are feeling very very sad again. For me though it never goes away. We still meet with our grief support group on a purely social level this time as the official group ended in the Fall. There are a few of us who clicked and enjoy getting together. The latest thing that alo t of group members have done is gone to see a local medium which they have had great success with. I'm not really sure about it but I have made an appointment to see her in June. I definitely believe in the spirit world and I know that Danny is not gone forever but whether someone can contact him.....I will just have to see. My husband is going with me as well. Anyway please take care of yourself and hope you are feeling OK. Betty Betty > > Hugs Betty > > Definitely know how you feel. Kenny's classmates all wanted me to come to a concert ( Kenny played sax - and was in first chair ) - they asked me to please show up. Hard as it was, I did go------ talk about tears------ even just walking into the building where my son went spent his last days...... Luckilly he did like school. > > The concert was dedicated in Kennys Memory- they put a picture of him and the dedication on the back of the pamphlet they give all as you go in...... Plus the teacher did a bit of talking about him........ Also ( they held another dedication and had me come to it, and it was a tree planting ceremony- they planted a garden type deal by the school and put a plaque there with Kenny's name on it. ) So sweet of all to do such but really hard to go through. > > There was another boy that passed on in his building not too long after he did....... actually 2............ and both in about the same grade. Both incidents were of being hit by a car- one of these boys went across the road and was not paying attention...... horrible horrible scene....... then they had it on the front page of the town paper- I still can't believe they did it the way they did........ they showed the road and the childs tennis shoe- and people standing around- why ,,, why did they have to put that type of picture in the paper- those poor parents were hurting enough........ and the other child was upset with his parents- took off walking in the dark and was hit by a drunk driver. > > All of these deaths occurred within a years time and many of the children at the school were having a hard year- dealing with these losses........ I do believe Kenny's shocked them the most- as he was not hit or anything- just there one day- in pain the next and gone the next........ I heard that there were many children, ( this was seventh grade - mind you ) these children began to worry they too would pass--------- many slept with parents and/or on their parents bedroom floors for a while......... > > It is hard for parents to deal with a loss indeed- and when I sit here thinking how hard it is on me and my other sons that Kenny is no longer in our physical presence to speak to-------- and most parents never think of a child going before themselves------ its usually parents then the child------ it runs through my mind - how these kids in his grade must have been shocked......... into thinking of the reality of life........ most kids live daily without giving the possibility of perhaps not being there the next day another thought - and these 3 incidents made them all have to look at their own lives upfront........ > > Big hugs to you for offering help to the family............. and I know the anniversaries of each year are hard as well........ You will be in my prayers through all of these situations. > > A suicide is a tough one------ how to explain that to anyone- it is something adults cant even understand......... I don't believe that has happened up here at the school system so far anyhow but have seen teens ( relatives ) that have taken their lives and there is no way to make anyone understand how-or why anyone could do such a thing except for saying that the person was very ill and did not receive the proper emotional help most likely due to not seeking the proper help. Your so right................ " Very sad indeed. " > > Hugs- TJ > > > Hi all > Just wanted to share a story----- nothing to do with EDS but sad . I found out yesterday that a classmate of my late son took his life, he was only 14. I went to my son's school (a very difficult thing to do) and talked to the principal to offer any help to the family that I could. He was in Danny's class last year so this is the second year that the classmates have to deal with the death of a friend. It is soon coming up to the one year anniversary of Danny's death (May 30 2003) so it is brought to the forefront again. I sure wish kids didn't have to go through this, its hard at any age but early teens is really tough. I have to say that it has been pretty tough for me too I saw the picture of Danny that now resides on a wall in the school library for all to see and reads " In memory of our friend Danny Cammack " Very touching. I just wanted to share this and wonder if any have experienced a suicide and how kids dealt with it. > Thanks > Betty > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway Hi Betty, I just wanted to tell you that we saw when he came to Omaha. The theater was packed with over 2000 people. My mom said we'd never get a reading, but I had a feeling that my sister had set this up. She died 4 years ago from a brain tumor, and before she passed, I asked her to do me a favor, and contact me when she was there. She said she would, but I didn't know if she really understood what I was talking about, as her brain was so scrambled. She did! We did get the reading, and not only that, it lasted approx. 15 minutes, which was the longest one that day. She wouldn't let go! It did so much for my Mom and Dad and my niece, as well as for me! If you're interested, I have kept the notes from that day. If you don't hear from your son with this person, I would suggest you try to see . He gives seminars all over. I guarantee he is the real thing! There's no way he could have known what he told us! Here is his website: http://www.johnedward.net/after_life_.htm Click on seminars/appearances to see his schedule. I wish you luck in hearing from your son. It really is comforting to know they're somewhere where it is beautiful and joyful. I also follow and saw him in Seattle. I like him as well. I would recommend both of these individuals many books. I've read them all. Love Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
