Luv, thank you so much for sharing your story. I can't even imagine what it must have been like to loose the love of your life that way. It is very inspiring to know what depths you have come back from to overcome this tragedy and alcohol and all that goes with it to reclaim your life.

Britt.
I don't know you, but I've seen you around here in the short time I've been here myself.
In my part of the world we call people like you 'tough as nails'.
I reckon if you can make it through THAT lot, you can do A LOT of things with the rest of your time here.

Brit, you know us Steel Magnolias CAN always come back, we just need a little care and attention, and thats what MWO has given us both. Yours is a hard story, but the finish isn't written yet, darlin'. You've got a lot of living left in you, and a lot more strenghth in you than you did in the first few chapters of your life. I feel so blessed to know you, as so many more here, and love to read your posts and see how you are rebuilding your life. You Go, Girl!

Thank you for sharing your story Brit.
I can't imagine the pain you must've been in these last few years -- I so admire you for your strength and courage.

Thank you all for your kind words and support. For a very long time I did feel very sorry for myself, BUT I don't anymore. Unfortunately, death is a part of life. We will ALL experience it. How we choose to LIVE through it, is up to us. TRUST ME, burying yourself in a bottle is not the answer. It does not bring anyone back and what a horrible way to honor your loved one. I joined a support group called Families of Highway Fatalities...in my group is a woman that lost not one, not two, but all THREE of her children in one accident. She lost her entire family. The first time I heard her story, I thought, I would want to die. Why even live anymore, but then I heard her speak. She carries her story to schools all over South Carolina in hopes to save just ONE child from drinking and driving. She has a purpose to live and honors her loved ones with dignity. Kinda makes you wake-up and smell the coffee. Life could be so much worse.

Thanks for Sharing Brit, I do remember how difficult it was when Billy died, and then your mom.

You've come a long way sweetie!

Luv -

You are a an inspiration in so many areas of life. You are living proof that the human spirit can overcome anything. You have been on the front lines - fighting for your life, and sweetie ... you have brought this site so much "real life". From the day I logged on - I have learned from your ups, your downs, your reaching out and your continued desire to make the best life possible for your darling children. I wish for you peace, joy, love, comfort and the rest of your life to be filled with a quiet confidence and beauty ... just like the flower gardens you always talk about.

Thank you for sharing ... you. You are loved

Liv, can I just copy and paste what you posted? I haven't said anything because I didn't know how to say it. That was so eloquent. Alluvu, Luvuall.

BB

You know BB I wasn't sure if going to see the pictures of him at the wreck were going to haunt me or be beneficial to my healing process. Seeing him was hard...but, I am glad I went. I needed to see the pictures. They should have let me at least see his hand like I had requested but was denied...but, they didn't. Had they done that, I wouldn't have had to have seen him all mangled up, but that is all behind me now. The one thing I KNOW by seeing the pictures is he died instantly. I will never forget the day I was really in crisis here and you stayed on all day with me...taking your laptop from room to room as you cleaned to help me.:l
