Taking a break

[SimplyStar]

This is a tough post to write, I am going to take a ling break from the forum. It is not because I don't feel for you girls, maybe I just feel too much.  When I read your posts I try not to compare any of you to Leslee,  but the posts  do hit home.  I have lost a lot of weight, don't want to eat, can't sleep, very depressed and trying so hard to get the toughness back in my spine.  I miss her so much, it is so hard to explain. I have decided to throw myself into cleaning my house, and will sell it in the Spring, maybe I will move to AZ,  son will get a house for Chris and I there.  I can be of some help there, that is what I need the most, I think. I will leave my web site open so that I can check once in a while and also let you know how I am doing. You all have become a precious part of my life and I thank you for that.   I would like to hope that, you all fight as hard as you can, to live and be happy.   Love  Marty

Dear Marty,
As a mother I can only imagine the pain you've been through, and are continuing to deal with.
Please be at peace knowing that you did everything you could for your dear daughter, Leslee. I know she loved you dearly, and appreciated all the support she got from you.
I wish you and your loved ones, peace....Jane

I've been reading this forum far longer than I've been posting, and I agonized for you when Leslee was so ill.  

Please see your doctor about your own health, as your son still needs you.  Perhaps you can find a support group, too.  You found a community here, and I think it was helpful for a long time, but perhaps this is no longer the right community for you.  Not that you shouldn't stop in for a visit occasionally.  

Best of luck to you

Marty,
     I can't fathom how difficult it has been for you. I wish you well in your move .. and come back to visit when you feel like it.. As they say down here in the south " Don't be a stranger" ..

Marty,
   Sorry to hear you are going thru such a rough time, hope the time away will heal you of the pain. Sounds like you have a like of work planned to keep you busy with a move, but hoping the new surroundings will bring you peace. Always remember your line on the message boards to me during surgery "I will be standing in the operating room corner watching out for you" Thank you for that. Hope in time you will come back to us. We all need breaks, but stay connected if you are able later.
love

You were so helpful to me when I first came her.  You are full of wisdom and love and now you are also full of pain..............  Take the time you need to heal and be close to your family.  You will be missed.  Please post pictures of Leslee's garden when it is finished.  It sounds like it will be an amazing tribute to an even more amazing person.  Be well......

Hey Marty.  I'm sorry and wish I could hug you.  It has got to be very hard to come here now.  Take some time and please do come back when you feel you can.  Sharon is right, you have been here for so long, giving advice and holding a hand and it has been much appreciated.  You are a very special lady.

Take care.

I understand Marty...I'm sorry you continue to be in pain from the loss of Leslee...it can't be easy.
You will be missed...please come back and say Hi when you feel you need a shoulder to lean on - we will always be here for you.
Love Becky

Love,

I totally understand your decision.  I cannot imagine dealing with the loss of a child. You and Chris need each other and moving closer to your son seems like a grand idea.  Thank you for all of your help along this journey.  I will keep you in my prayers.  Leslee is at peace, but the survivors feel the loss.  Take care.  Judy

I understand how you feel and I think what you are doing is the best thing for you and Chris. Thanks ever so much for all your help, support, concern, research, advice, love, care, joy and sadness you have shared with me over these last few years.  As I have said before, you are my Shinning Star and I will never ever forget what a great mother and human being you are.
Thank you Marty
