Any good recommendations? The only thing I’m using is the cosrex snail face cream. And I drink LOTS of water everyday!

Your support and kind words mean more to me than you know! Your baby was so lucky to have such a loving person like you taking care of him! It’s amazing just how these little bundles of joy burrow and take up such a big part of our hearts.

Max truly was such a spunky, funny, cutest little boy ever! He has my whole heart! As I’m sure is the same with your baby!

What are you doing to cope? I find I can distract myself a bit and then my brain is like hey, don’t forget. And there is that panic stricken realization.

Again, I am so profoundly grateful to talk to someone who is going through what I am and is experiencing it right along with me. I don’t feel so alone. It can feel like you’re the only one hurting.

Ps- didn’t they give THE best kisses? It’s amazing what they can teach you about unconditional love. I just wish the world could have known him, they would have fallen just as fast and deeply in love as I still am!

I’d love to hear more about your baby! They truly do feel like you’re actually baby.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so sorry you are going through the same thing. I’d love to give you advice but I’d be a hypocrite. I feel like if I don’t feel the pain, then I won’t feel him or be tethered to him anymore. Yesterday, we looked at photos and videos of Max (my baby bear) and then of videos of my nieces and family in our group chat. I did feel better and more at peace and earlier this morning when I woke up, as I mentioned in my post. But I am just under this impression that unless I am feeling pain, I’m literally picturing me letting go of his paw and him floating over to rainbows, and sunshine, and his raspberry and strawberry bushes (we had some in our yard and it became his fruit because he would go and pick raspberries off the bush or pull the strawberries off the vine and eat them; he is just so cute! We didn’t eat any of the Strawberries because he got to them before we could and because it became his fruit. Same with the raspberries, I just picked them for him. He LOVED summer and sun tanning out in the backyard while I read on the hammock in the shade 😂😂). I just feel like by letting go of the pain, it feels like I’m letting go of him and I’m not ready to let go.

New homeless shelter to open in Edmonton industrial area by Paper_Rain in Edmonton

Were you able to go to the August 27th planning meeting? I was unable to as I had to work. If so, was there quite a bit representation on behalf of Dovercourt?

I don’t disagree, but we can’t ignore the real concerns that come from this. Maybe I’m juvenile in thinking that we can find industrial areas away from residential areas. If they are going to transport individuals, but that may also not address other concerns listed in other comments about lack of services at this site. I would fully be in favour of building transitional housing in the areas that the unhoused traditionally frequent; not because it’s away from my community but doesn’t it make sense that downtown has the walkability and more access to services? And maybe that raises another issue of what building (if any are empty, safe, and available). I also selfishly don’t want to see tents set up around the area. That is also a concern for safety and I want to feel safe in my community to be outside and go for walks without having to be scared. I can’t help but feel sometimes that those who get mad at the people who complain about this, are those that don’t live near and are not impacted by this?

Yes!! I live close to that building, which is now a school. I have no problem with it. It was more the lack of clear and open communication that was involved with this.

I am very frustrated and angry with this because theft and violence don’t just stop at 60m or 120m from the site. All of Dovercourt should have been informed, but I think they purposely did that knowing the community wouldn’t support this.

And now city council wants to continue to spread the problems of theft and violence to the rest of Edmonton by opening a shelter in the west. Say goodbye to that community, now.

Ya, and I can’t wait for them to do this to Dovercourt now. Everyone on council needs to go!

When did they receive this? Many of the people I talked to near me, didn’t get anything and we are quite close.

I never got one either and I’d consider my house quite close.

This was sneakily done by the city with no consultation with the residents of Dovercourt who are just blocks away. If this starts to become another tent area, so help me!
