Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Kim - I know it is so difficult to get those horrible memories out of your head. I'm sorry you are hurting so badly. Sometimes, not thinking about it almost seems like a betrayal. I had a hard time with this and remembering that night. The coroner coming. The horror of seeing a facebook post which told of a car accident but not who was okay. I couldn't see my son for 2 days because they took him to a morgue far from our house. But the fact is, for your own health you have to try to replace that memory with a positive one if you can. My counselor had me do this as an exercise. Just try to start thinking of a positive memory with your child. I know it sound impossible but going through this grief takes hard work, really. It's exhausting. When I am faced with this challenge and consciously change my thoughts, I eventually find that I am thinking of something happier and I know those negative things are not what my son would want me to dwell on. Hugs.

It's just an especially hard time because of graduation etc. I lost my only child 18 months ago - It feels like yesterday. He was 17 and all we planned for him and ourselves is gone. I was his caretaker because he suffered from Crohn's Disease and was home schooled the last 2 years and still am not working because of a badly broken arm and I feel lost without him.  I believe he is okay and his spirit lives. I just can't figure out how to move forward in this world without him. I try to live so he would be proud and do things to keep his memory alive in service to others. I just don't know what else to do. Sending everyone here love and prayers today.

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
