    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.

      Type: Loss of a Child

      My 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.
