About Me
I'm a Mom who lost her son Chris to a car accident on 9-29-06. He was also our only child. My Mom died when I was 17, my Dad passed in 1990. My husband and son were my whole family-now my son is gone. I have great faith in God and believe that if it were not for Him that I wouldn't even be here. The loss of my son has hit me so hard. I am a speech/language therapist-I help so many children but feel like I couldn't help my own son. I hope this site will help me reach out and touch others who understand.

Prayer
Sandy, I'm sorry to hear about your knee !! Take it easy and I will be keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Take care. Love, Kim
Hug
Sandy, I'll see what I can do to rent Skye out to you. She is the best. I love those kind of surprises. The baby shower was fun but she knew about it but that's ok. I just wanted it to be over with because I was just stressing myself out over it. I just wanted it to be perfect for her. I just wanted to see my daughter smile for once in a long time. She is so happy to be pregnant but each day that her due date gets closer she gets sadder because she misses her little brother so much and I don't know what to do to help her. I guess I realize that there is nothing I can do for her except just be there. I figured you would love the baby's middle name. I understand totally what your saying about budget cuts. We're filing for bankruptcy at the hospital probably next week and there is another hospital that will be buying us but we don't know what jobs will be kept and which ones will be lost. It's so scary. I've always carried all of the health benefits for my family and that's what scares me the most is losing them. We just found out tonight that a friend of AJ's lost her brother to violence in Florida yesterday and her first thought was that it happened on AJ's angel day. He was only 25 and had just moved to Florida with his girlfriend 3 weeks ago. It was so sad that her parents were in my house a year ago because of AJ and now we were in their house because of their son Tommy. God Sandy when will it stop? Will it ever stop? Even though yesterday was one year ago that I lost AJ it still feels like it was yesterday. I relived that entire day over and over in my mind and I found myself doing the same thing today, just thinking I was doing this that or the other at this time last year. I remember that this time last year I had not even been to bed yet because I knew that if I went to bed and woke up, it would not have been just a nightmare and I couldn't face that. How's school going? I guess your pretty busy if you are the only therapist. How overwhelming it must be for you. All you can do is the best you can right? Well Sandy take care of yourself. I'm always thinking of you. Love Patty

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ChildMy wonderful son Chris was 22 years old-he and my husband were my whole family-I lost my Mom at 17 and my Dad in 1990. Chris was killed in a car accident coming home on 9-29-06. The pain is unbelievable-and my husband and I are reaching out to others who have gone through this for support. Everyday I wake up and say, "this just can't be happening", but it is. I have no mother or father, no siblings and now even my son is gone. I have to tell you, this really sucks!
Treatments
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- I cry everyday-nights are especially hard-it helps to relieve some of the pressure but it doesn't really anything plus it raises my blood pressure which is now very high.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Seeing a wonderful psychologist definitely did help both me and my husband.
