Rachel...
I've gone almost the same thing as you. I lost my beloved son February 8th, and lost my father April 2nd. You are right, planning the funeral brought me right back to the awful day in April. I told my brother that I wasn't strong enough to do a lot for dad's funeral, so we kept it small and did not have it at the same place as we did for my son. I found it hard to grieve for my father, since I was still grieving so horribly for my son. Life is so unfair sometimes.
Yes, I am also worried that my mind cannot take so much heartache and trauma at once. Just know that feeling crazy is "normal" for us... whatever normal means anymore.
I'm so sorry that you are going through such horrible times.

I have not posted here for awhile, but still continue to read.
Rachel, I have sent prayers on your behalf...I too lost my beloved son in an accident. He was ran over in his own lane. We are still in the trial as the girl was charged that killed him. I am 29 months out now.
Connie, thanks for sharing your feelings. "I can hardly stand to get through each day without him", very much where I am at too.
Vasanthi, good to see your post. I remember reading some of your writing earlier on, it was very comforting.
Sending gentle thoughts to all.
Rachel,
How agonizing this time must be. Losing our children is enough to make each and every day a living hell. and now losing your mother . I will pray for you and for us all, its a place where the loss is so personal and so intense and one which no one understands and let that be because no one should have to bear so much pain.
I truly hope that there is someone near you whom you can reach out to and who can be there for a while. Just the physical presence of someone you feel close to will help, even if every inch of you is screaming to be alone. Like you, I too lost my only son in Dec 2011 and he was 27 too and I was divorced since '98. So that most wonderful boy was my shining star and most loved and we were very close. Though time goes by the sharp pangs may lessen but the heart knows its loss only too well.
I am so so sorry that you have to go through another grieving right now. We are all with you , holding you in our prayers. Hugs, Vasanthi.
Rachel I am so very sorry you lost your mother. This must be agonizing grief. I lost my mother in-law to Alzheimers. We were very close and that alone is heartbreak enough. Your Dad must be suffering a lot also. Sometimes we are left to wonder why we are left. We both lost our only children in car accidents. The sudden trauma is shocking and I still after 28 months feel like it was yesterday and I can hardly stand to get through each day without him. I truly hope you have some good friends and a support group. I know there are people who love you and need you. You are not alone even though it may feel that way right now. Hang in there and know that we are sending you all the love and prayers we can. Hugs Connie
Dear Friends, Its been a while since I spoke with y'all last. I've just been in my own little world. I'm afraid my world HAS getting smaller. I'm trying so hard not to fall into such a deep depression that I won't be able to get myself out. Shortly after I lost my "beautiful daughter", my mother suffered a stroke, sadly enough she was already struggling with Alzheimer's. It sadens me to say that she died April 13th, two weeks today. Making the arrangments and attending the funeral was like reliving my baby's funeral. I feel so lost and ALONE. I feel my mourning has intensified. I don't know what to do!!!! I miss my baby!!! And like a child I want my mother.
I feel my family is truly no more. And I have NO ONE to lean on. My Dad has left town because he can't deal seeing me and being in the thier house has to many memories. What am I suppose to do? How am I suppose to get though all this? It's just not right and its not fair????? I'm losing my mind. Please pray for me. I need prayer!!!
