I have been married to my husband for 26 years. We have 3 children together--1 son (who was killed 9/22/07) and 2 daughters 21 & 22. We also have 2 grandsons--Wyatt 8, and Jase 1. My world has always revolved around my kids and thier families. 2007 was a very dark and sad year for our family.My 30 year old son was killed in an auto accident by a drunk/drugged driver less than 5 seconds from our home. We had a very special relationship. At the time of his death he was separated from his wife and was very heartbroken. He desperately wanted her back. He also left behind an 8 year son with leukemia. When Mike died a part of my heart died with him. My 2 daughters were very close to their brother and are handling his death so well. I on the other hand can't seem to move forward. My husband is very supportive but is grieving in a different way. Mike's death is pushing our family apart instead on pulling us together. We are having trouble with Mike's wife, she is keeping our grandson, Wyatt, from us. We always got along but now she is totally a different person. She has already moved in with another man and this hurts me very much. My son loved her very much and died with a broken heart. Some days I don't know if I can get through the day. Some days I don't want to go on. I have tried counseling, group meetings, etc. and nothing seems to help. What am I to do when my heart hurts so much?

Hey Sweetie, I'm glad you are on this site, of course I had no problem guessing your user name, and once I saw our boy's picture, I knew it was you.
Love you

On 9/22/07 my 30 y/o son was killed in an auto accident.I am crushed & so broken hearted.My son & I had a very special relationship.The last 9 months of his life he lived with us because he was separated from his wife & son. He has an 8 year old son w/leukemia.Mike was trying so hard to get his family back. I am not handling his death very well. I want to crawl in a hole and never come out. My husband and daughters seem to be handling his death so much better than me. Why can't I?
I had gastric bypass surgery 3/9/05 and lost 160lbs. I have gained 20 lbs in the last 3 months because I am not following my diet. My only son died 9/22/07 and this triggered my emotional eating. I need to get back on track but am just too depressed to leave my house.
