I have been a Shield fan from the very beginning- along with my son- and have been a frequent reader here, just started posting towards the end of the last season.... anyways, I just wanted to share with y'all that my 17 year old son- also a big Shield fan- was killed in a car accident a few days ago... I know I wasn't close to any of y'all- but was reading your posts, so I was getting to feel like I knew y'all....Like I said, this is a place on the net that I was starting to come to daily.... Hope this post isn't out of line, if so, please, admins, remove and place it where it properly belongs. here's some links to his story in our local paper: www.neshobademocrat.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=13183&SectionID=2&SubSectionID=&S=1Thanks for letting me share.

Susie, I am so sorry that this has happened. We share a lot of our hope, pain and concerns here and we really are like a family. We want to know when something like this happens to a member, so we can give you support in any way that we can. I am glad you feel that enough already to share with us. You are in my thoughts. -CC/Anita

Susie~ my heart goes out to you. I have also lost a child and I wanted to let you know if you need to talk I can PM you my e-mail address. When my daughter died (she died of a brain hemorrhage) the grief was so profound, so deep, and so overwhelming I almost didn't get through it. I had an emotional breakdown six months after she died. All I wanted for awhile was for someone to be able to say, "I know just how you feel." People say that to you thinking because they have also lost a loved one they understand the grief you are feeling. Not so. Unless someone has lost a child themselves they have NO IDEA. There is no other loss that can compare to losing your child. The only way I was ever able to describe the feeling was that it felt like someone had "reached in, grabbed ahold of my heart, and ripped it right out of my chest". My heart actually HURT. Even so I still cannot fathom the pain you are in. My daughter was a baby when I lost her. You have seventeen years of memories to haunt you and so your grief is surely that much deeper. May God give you the strength to get through this tragic time in your life and please remember that you are not alone. If you need me I am here even though we've never talked on the board. We still have so much in common. Often just talking to another bereaved parent helps, I know it helped me. There is a support group that I joined called The Compassionate Friends that is for parents or grandparents who have lost children. It is a nationwide support group, so they probably have a chapter in your area. It helps more than you could ever imagine. You are in my prayers.
Love, Bailey
