About my Loss:
i lost my 30 year old son 5 years ago and am still at times overwhelmed with his death. my husband at the time did not know how to support me. i just needed to talk, he didn't want to listen (not my son's dad) while i am not as deep in grief as i was the first couple of years
i at times feel the loss as fresh as when it happened. i suppose this is normal but it would be nice to have someone to talk to who could just say, i'm sorry and i understand

Are Any Of You Angry With God?

When my son died from a drug overdose I didn't blame God. (I thought) Rationally, I knew that my son's use of drugs was far removed from the life the Lord would have him lead.

Hi Connie and thanks for the kind and supportive words. I guess my husband just doesn't know how to provide long-term support and to be honest I don't know how to guide him. He gives me my space and allows me to grieve but it just seems at times that his actions, not words, show impatience with my continued grief. It's hard to explain...
We should not outlive our children and when we do our whole world turns into chaos...I have never felt so alone and overwhelmed in my 53 years. Only another parent grieving parent can identify with our loss and provide words of comfort and empathy.

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
