Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Child

My 17 year old son was killed while riding his 4 wheeler and he got out in the road and was hit and killed by a car. I started a web site for him to help with my grieving processes.It did help a little. http://brandon-cope.memory-of.com/

Treatments

Crying Somewhat Helpful

alot of that for months now. wonder if it will ever stop.It hurts to think that he is gone.Side effects are the the eyes and body hurt after so much crying. I try to keep it in so the boys do not have to see me all the time. I do most my crying in the car by myself or at home when they are not at home.

Grief Counseling Not Working

my "middle" son quit going to group, my youngest said it is boring and my husband and I go to try and make it okay for the youngest one.

Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful

now that some time has gone by and it has set in he is really gone it is harder NOT to keep ourselves busy. The boys have hockey and we try to make sure we are busy. Down side are a few bill seem to get missed along the way when you forget what you are doing. oops.

Pets Somewhat Helpful

we got a new puppy, to help my youngest son, she is helping more than just him. She is great for us all and even grandma comes over to get puppy love.

Reading Somewhat Helpful

thought at first it was, but not so sure at this point.

Remembering Somewhat Helpful

have made a website for my son and a yearbook page for him. It helped me. http://brandon-cope.memory-of.com/

Time Somewhat Helpful

it has been 7 months and I am doing a little better.It is just harsh. I worry so much for my middle son. He was the one w/my older son when he was hit and killed.

Walking Working / Worked

lost some weight and feeling a little better. do some thinking while I am up there walking. sometimes I even cry. I think the people there must really wonder what a basket case I am, but I really do not care. I walk at the hockey rink where my son practices at, they have a track above it.
