Just sending hugs to all.
My husband and I were watching the video we played during Zach's funeral. I felt like I had never seen it. I can't believe it has been 16 months since we lost him. Those first few months are such a fog, like a very bad nightmare that i haven't been able to wake up from. We found out that yesterday Zach's girlfriend had her laptop stolen, and on it she had several videos of Zach that she had not backed up on to another file so now those are forever lost. It makes me so incredibly sad, a couple of them, I had never even seen yet. It makes me so angry that who ever stole it doesn't have any idea how much they have hurt us. I do have to say that even though my husband and I were sad watching the video, we were able to smile sharing those memories from those pictures. It really did make me miss him so very much though. This stinks for all of us. It wasn't suppose to be this way.
Two years ago today was my last conversation with my son, Matthew, i talked with him till i life fell asleep and after a night full of nightmares...i got the call that he had been shot and was killed.. never in my life would i believe my worst nightmare to come true but it did....still hurts like hell.
Hey DH, so sorry that you have joined this group but all we can do is support each other and listen. It helps so much not to have your emotions and thoughts judged. Our children will always be our babies and we will always be their mom, they had a life, it was not our imagination. Many hugs to you.
Karen wrote, "I feel like my son will feel like I am forgetting him." I think the same thing. I'm not ready to forget my son either or just "move on." He died 4 weeks ago but I never want his spirit to be forgotten. Peace & Love
Sophia wrote, "I'm scared of life - I don't know how to move forward." I agree. My son passed away 4 weeks ago and some people around me have this idea that I'm just suppose to pick up and push onward like a stoic mom unmoved by the grief of his death. My son was my life. I haven't done anything for the past 18 years without my baby in mind. I'm sure time will make things better for us... its just not better right now. Peace & Love
Susan- I can't imagine going through losing two children. Don't listen to people who tell you to get over it. A part of you is gone- and you will never get it back in this life. Do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself. I also went on meds and I think they probably saved my life.
Sophia I share your feelings. I have lost two sons. People can be really cruel. I have heard the same thing. I am at the point I stuff it. I have.been accused of being selfish and self centered. I miss my sons so much. I am taking a lot of medicine to help me cope with it. Been accused of being bipolar too. I enjoy my time with my grandchildren. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you
Oh Sophia, I can relate to all that you have said. Especially, not wanting to drag people into my depression and gloom. I am sad for everyone walking in our shoes.
