Is there anyone on this board who has lost a child while battling lyme disease. If so could you please pm me.
Thanks
Rene

Rene, my deepest, heartfelt sympathies to you. I have not lost a child.
I did post a bunch of sympathy poems. They can be found under "TREEPATROL'S" NEWBIE LINKS at the very bottom of his last page. Hope you may find some to comfort you.

Rene -
I can't tell you how much my heart goes out to you.
I can't imagine how you are feeling - I don't WANT to imagine it -- it's a parent's worst fear.
I hope you find the support you need here - or elsewhere.
But you know there truly are no words that will take away the pain you are feeling. This is the type of pain that only God can help ease.
I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers.
Blessings,

I'm surprised there haven't been more responses to this.
I mean every month when I return to Compassionate Friends Meetings there is always someone new- and i think to myself- DARN-you mean children are still dying?
This website has such a large audience I would think there would be more grieving parents on board.
Perhaps for some it is just too hard to acknowledge.
For myself I am still trying to sort out what is what- and grief acts just like a co-infection in many ways.
I do not wish to be on either journey alone without walking beside those that have walked a mile in there own mocassins,too.
Sending you a thousand fireflies to light the night.
Love, Carol

I just sent you a private message on the subject. Hope it leads to some insight and help.

Sometimes people don't open the thread. I missed it this morning too. [wasn't here yesterday]
Rene...I'm VERY sorry for your loss. Can you share more. We're all assuming you mean your OWN loss, not the loss of a friend's child???
I'll be praying for you, Rene. Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

There are many moms on this board who are fighting for the life of their child. We all share in your fear and loss. Please post your thoughts here, there are others who will benefit.

I need to clarify my original post. My daughter did not die from complications of lyme disease. She was killed in an automobile accident on April 21,2006. It is I who am suffering from lyme, bartonella, babesia, and tularemia. I was looking for any parents on this board who might have lost a child while they themselves were battling lyme. Thanks so much for all the responses, you have all been great.
Rene

Thanks for explaining, Rene. I was wondering what happened. I'm so sorry for your loss. How old was your daughter?
Have you been in treatment for a long time? I hope you are getting good care and that you are taking care of your emotional needs as well.
don't be afraid to seek counseling or to join a grief support group.

Rene, thanks so much for explaining more. How tragic losing her lately & fighting this lyme fight.
I second Tutu's suggestion of a bereavement support group; I've been there twice; each time gained a lot out of recent family members death.
Glad you had such a great response of those reaching out to you; lymenet members are the best in the world.
