    • About Me

      I am a Mother of 2 and 2 grandchildren. I have lost 1 son in death and the other by his choice. This is why I need daily strength. The later loss has been greater than the first if that seems possible. Sincerely, gillanne

      I am a Mother of 2 sons. Lost 1 in death and the other, along with his family by their choosings. I am devestated, to say the least. I have NO hope nor answers for this situation.

      some understanding of feelings.
    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Child

      I have 2 sons, I lost one in death, suicide. The other is living but may as well be dead. He and his family (except for his young son) has nothing to do with my husband and I. It breaks my heart and at times I can hardly deal with the rejection. No cards on Mother's day, no gifts at Xmas. He told my husband, his father, this is how he wants it. 90% of the time I feel like someone has walked on my heart. How do I continue to keep a sound mind. Would nerve pills help?

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      only works at the moment
      Getting Angry Not Working
      Only feel guilty later.
      Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
      have trouble getting moviated.
      Prayer Somewhat Helpful
      Yes, it does help. I just have a differcult time praying.
      Support Groups Considering
      would love to find a good support group.
    • Open Bereavement - Teens

      I have 2 sons, one died and the other may as well be dead from the way he distance himself from us. It is more hurtful then loosing the one in death.
