Losing your only child
Has anyone lost their only child? I lost my 17 year-old son on Dec. 1,2012. I am 56 years old and had a hard time conceiving. After I had my son I had 3 miscarriages and could never have any other children. I devoted my life to Daniel and now am super lonely when I come home. We spent so much time together and we worked his whole life to ensure he would have a great future. Now he has no future and I feel like mine is gone too. I try to help someone everyday with the money we saved for Daniel's college. I know that serving others is the only thing that makes this life feel worthwhile to me anymore. I find it hard to find value in my own life. I just want him back and am hurting alot today. Thank goodness for my 3 cats and dog who greet me when I get home. My husband is supportive but also in great pain and he is at work a lot. It is hard to rebuild your life with this intense grief. I just want him back. I miss him so much. I have faith in Spirit and know he lives on but still, I want a hug from him!

Connie, I am so sorry that you lost your only child. I can't imagine what that's like. With the babies you lost plus Daniel, you have a bunch of angels in heaven watching over you. I know that doesn't take away the pain. The loss of a child is like no other. I wish none of us ever had to experience that. Prayers and hugs

Thank you Michele. I appreciate your kind words. But you are right. I believe that Daniel is finally not an only child anymore. He is with his sisters and that brings me a strange bit of joy if I can call it that. It was heartbreaking to lose them and for him to grow up without siblings. Now he can experience growing in other ways with them.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
Assumptions
An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true. Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions. This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
