I also lost my daughter to Leukemia 14mos ago. This is one the most difficult times of my life. And it does get just a little better with time. For me i force myself to smile instead of cry and think happy thoughts. I know that Sherise would not want me to be moping around and doing nothing so i force myself to get out and do things with family and friends. this is not easy but watching her suffer was worse. I just put my faith and trust in God, I know he will pull me through. I don't want to tell you what to do, i just wanted to share my feelings with you. No one can tell you what to feel or how to grieve or how long it's suppose to take- just take it day by day or in my case hour by hour.
I'll be praying for us both. G.Edmonds

Name of loved one and dates: Sherise Michelle Edmonds, 9-6-85 to 8-7-05
