Jamie was born 17th March 1983 on St. Patrick's Day he was always happy , always smiling, not a care in the world, his family and friends were everything to him, he cared for everyone and was always there when you needed him. When there was a party mentioned he was there, loved the social life he had, Jamie left behind a younger brother Mark, an older sister Carole, her husband Ben , their daughter Ciara who was born the June after Jamie died and his devoted parents Doug & Alexis. Jamie took his own life by driving his car off a cliff at Sidmouth , Devon 19th September 2004. it devastated everyone, the shock was very hard to cope with, we can never forget what happened, with a little help from friends we can learn to live differently, Jamie loved making me smile so I try to do that whenever I can because I know he is watching me !!!
Jamie was loved and respected by everyone who knew him, we miss his beautiful smile, his hearty laugh, the way he used to play tricks on people,
he was so sensitive too, he had such a lovely way with everyone and all the ladies loved him.
Jamie played the guitar all the time, he would make up new songs and play them to us 3 in the morning sometimes later, what we would give to hear him play again, he had so much patience when he was trying to teach someone to play a particular song, he always played Nivana, Chilli Peppers, creed, muse, loved rock.
M darling Jamie, you gave your family so much love, we adore you and we will keep your memory alive, we miss and love you every minute of everyday, I light a candle where you sleep every night my lovely son, I know in my heart you are watching over us, love you babe xxxx
Please feel free to light a candle or add a few words for Jamie
Bereaved Parents Wish List
I wish my child hadn't died. I wish I had him back.
I wish you wouldn't be afraid to speak my sons name. My son lived and is very important to me. I need to hear that he was important to you also.
If I cry and get emotional when you talk about my son, I wish you knew that it isn't because you have hurt me. My sons death is the cause of my tears. You have talked about my son and you have allowed me to share my grief. I thank you for both.
Being a bereaved parent is not contagious, so I wish you wouldn't shy away from me. I need you now more than ever.
I need diversions, so I do want to hear about you, but I also want you to hear about me. I might be sad and I might cry, but I wish you would let me talk about my child; my favorite topic of the day
I know that you think of and pray for me often. I also know that my sons death pains you too. I wish you would let me know these things through a phone call, a card or note, or a real big hug.
I wish you wouldn't expect my grief to be over. These first years are traumatic for me, but I wish you could understand that my grief will never be over. I will suffer the death of my son until the day I die.
I am working hard in my recovery, but I wish you could understand that I will never fully recover. I will always miss my son and I will always grieve that he is dead
I wish you wouldn't expect me 'not to think about it' or 'be happy'. Neither will happen for a very long time, so don't frustrate yourself.
I don't want to have a 'Pity party', but I do wish you would let me grieve. I must hurt before I can heal.
I wish you understood how my life has shattered. I know it is miserable for you to be around me when I'm feeling miserable. Please be as patient with me as I am with you.
When I say, 'I'm doing okay', I wish you could understand that I don't 'feel' okay and that I struggle daily. I wish you knew that all of the grief reactions I'm having are very normal. Depression, anger, hopelessness and overwhelming sadness are all to be expected. So please excuse me when I'm quiet and withdrawn or irritable and cranky.
Your advice to 'take it one day at a time' is excellent advice. However, a day is too much and too fast for me right now. I wish you could understand that I'm doing good to handle an hour at a time.
Please excuse me if I seem rude, certainly not my intent. Sometimes the world around me goes too fast and I need to get off. When I walk away, I wish you would let me find a quiet place to spend time alone.
I wish you understood that grief changes people. When my son died, a big part of me died with him. I am not the same person I was before my son died and I will never be that person again.
I wish very much that you could understand; understand my loss and my grief. But, I pray daily that you will never ' fully ' understand....
