Dear Michele, I am sorry sorry, my heart hurts with yours. This life can seem so unfair at times. In a PERFECT world, no parent would ever no this pain. Just remember, your baby is so much more than a memory! She will always be your daughter and you will always be her mommy.

Sending many hugs to you.

so very sorry to hear about losing your daughter Michele. My heart goes out to you. I know she will live forever through your memories, and I have to believe that some day we will see our beloved children again. Sending love

on November 22, 2012 I was waiting for my Oldest son to show up and take me to work as my car was in the shop. He has recently moved back home with us. He was in the Marine Corps. and after that lived on the east coast for a year after he got out of the service. He and his wife were seperated but trying to work things out. he had picked me up from work the night before and dropped me off at home saying that he was going to go see some friend. the next morning (Thanksgiving) I waited for him to show up to take me to work, when I got a knock at the door and two police officers came to inform me that my son had been killed in a single car accident at about 3 am in the morning.

My life will never be the same. I will miss him forever and not sure how I make it through each day. It all seems like a very bad dream and soon I will wake up and everything will be ok but I know it's not. I also know that I do have to keep his story alive for his daughter and he will live on through her. She is the one that keeps me going these days.

My heart breaks every time I think of him, and how much he will miss seeing his baby girl grow up.

I am so sorry for your loss. It has been over a year for me and I still think sometimes that I will wake up from this nightmare. It has definitely gotten easier for me. But the first few months were complete hell. Hang in there. And vent as often as you want. Something that helped a lot for me was a support group. There is a national support group called Compassionate Friends. If you look up their website, you can find out if there is a chapter in your area. I know everyone is different, but I really needed to talk to people who had been there.

I lost my only child 5-26-2011. I lost Gabriel 1 week before his 16 B day and the sadness has sunk all the way into my bones and I wonder if people standing next to me at store or in the elevator can feel the sadness coming off of me. I went to greif counciling or more like I am in shock counciling for 1 year and still feel as though I am suffocating slowly on some days. I think the physical pain of losing the light of your life is more then some bodies can physically handle most days. I was the luckiest person on earth to have Gabe and I knew it every day for 16 years. 1 phone call and you  and your husband are left with a half life on the good days, Gabes wonderful father is not going to survive this. How did we get to here

  

My son was shot! He loved the wrong person to hard..I loss my only son. He was 20 years old.

oh no... so sorry for your loss.

Dear Berna, I am so very sorry to hear what happened to your baby. My son's life watched snatched away from him at only 21yrs old. I know your pain all too well. Its so important to have your feelings validated. Have you joined the group on this site 'Missing My Son or Daughter'?   Many hugs to you.

Yes, I agree. His life was snatched away. I don't know who shot him or why they thought it was worth his life. I sometimes wish, to give back all the things i worked so hard to make a better life for him to be traded...why work now..? Oh! I have to have a roof over my head. I know I sound selfish. I am.

Yes I joined. But the looking for my son everyday is unbearable. Is this my life.

I told my husband today.."I will never ever be happy again, without my son". His response..we need to live for each other. For what now!

I lost my son one month ago today. We still don't know what really happened. Maybe a seizure...we just don't know. Christmas was surreal. I keep thinking I don't know how to do this, but I keep going on. I'm so very sad. Jake was 29 years old, with 3 daughters. I don't really have a story yet, just feelings.

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
