Connie-I want so much to believe in everything... That I will see my Josh again, that Josh knows how much I love and miss him and that Josh is watching over his little brother because Derek needs him so much. I want to believe in God. It is so hard. I am so tired. I try so hard to believe because it is all I have also. Hope

Jill - I don't know - it's all I have at this point. I have lost my drive, motivation and almost my sanity! I'm gonna pray that I get through the day

Is it worth praying when my prayers weren't answered when I asked for my son to be saved?

Hugs to everyone (((  )))

Dear Rita and Bruce

 I am so so very sorry for your losses. There are no words to express how devastated we are when we lose a child. I lost my only child in a sudden tragic car accident at age 17, 3 and a half years ago. The sudden loss sends you right into shock. I still also think about that night when the cops and coroner drove up to our house at 12:30pm. Daniel was supposed to be home long before and I couldn't find him anywhere. How I prayed he was in trouble and in that squad car. The horror of that night never leaves me. My faith that we will see each other again is what gets me through. I truly believe that spirit lives on and like to think he is doing amazing things w e cannot even imagine. Keep your heart open and look for signs that they are still with you. My heart goes out to you and I hope you can find some support and comfort here. We all understand and are here for you. Sending love and prayers.

Rita-I totally understand... I cry when I see Josh's photos. His birthday was the 5th- he would have been 35. I would do anything and I mean anything to bring him back. My younger son misses him so much but we don't talk about Josh much as I think he doesn't want to make me sad. Poor kid I am so over protective of him. He lives in Texas now while I am in Arizona-so far from me. Hugs to all. I wish I had never met you, in this place, with so much in common, in so much pain. We are all here and I thank God I did meet you because here I can talk without the "happy" mask. Because we understand each other. I love you my Joshie. I miss you everyday.

I live on a farm and I don't want to go out of the house. There are so many reminders of my Son, Jesse that it makes it hard...I don't want to go to town for fear I will see someone and they might ask me about the accident or how I'm doing.

Jesse was a welder by trade but he could do anything and I mean anything....He was very smart and talented, very creative. He could take junk and make something beautiful out of it.  I see all the things he fixed, created or worked on when I go outside and it is just too much for me to bear right now. This where he grew up and I see the little boy that was driving a tractor at 5 years old. Being a daredevil with his bike, building all the jumps and mud puddles to ride through. The swings in the barn, climbing the hay to get higher....so he could swing farther....The remnants of happier days and innocence gone.... when he was still a little boy eager to explore and experience everything.....  The grief is overwhelming!!

It's not the way it is suppose to go!!! I die first....not my children!!!

I'm Rita and I like so many on this site have lost a child. An adult Son and my only Son. It happened July 5th, 2016. He was 38 days away from being 38 years old. Before this happened to me I couldn't imagine what it was like to lose a child and I didn't want to think about how much pain that would be and now I know and I wish I didn't. I have had a lot of hard days....I still have 2 adult Daughters. They miss him terribly. I can't talk about him without crying, I can't look at his picture without crying. Just thinking about him is painful...

He died in an auto accident on a rural road that he knew like the back of his hand. He had a defibrillator/pacemaker from a heart attack he suffered 2 years ago. We think he had a heart attack and caused the wreck. There was no skid marks of any kind, no attempt to stop or correct himself. He just put the pedal to the metal and hit the ditch (a very shallow ditch)and then a tree. Going at a very high rate of speed according to the Trooper. I guess he was after seeing his truck. I keep replaying when the Trooper came to my door in the early morning hours to tell me. I knew it was bad news....I just didn't expect it to be one of my children! I've been in shock ever since...I keep replaying that morning in my mind over and over and over...The pain is unbearable. There is nothing as painful as losing a Son or Daughter.........I wish I didn't know!!!

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
