About Me
I recently lost my 22 year old son to a brief illness. The pain is horrific sometimes, then other times i am numb. I want to honor his life by living it to the fullest but right now that is difficult. I am divorced and have no family. I am quite alone in this and hope to meet other moms.

Hug
Thank you Sus...for your comments on my journa;...You are a blessing. You are right about the drug companies...they are sinister and their allegiance is to their god...MONEY! I think they will all be brought down one of these days. I know they have already had to pay out a lot of money out of court for many of the newer drugs that did irreversible harm or caused death. Much of the time it is hush hush. Love and hugs to you dear friend....Dale, Brandon's Mom

Type: Loss of a ChildMy son, aged 22, died on 4/22/09 after a very brief illness. He was misdiagnosed.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- Yes, it helps. The crying is a purifying.
- Getting Angry Not Working
- I have directed my anger at people and that is NOT the answer.
- Grief Counseling Too Soon to Tell
- I just began it.
- Helping Others Considering
- I am considering this.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- I try to be occupied and around people. Being around people helps.
- Music Working / Worked
- sometimes sad music helps bring about tears and tears are helpful....other times it's just too much.
- Pets Working / Worked
- My dog is my life now.
- Poetry Somewhat Helpful
- Emily Dickenson's poetry on grief is beautiful.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- it must, I begin the day with "God help me" and I do get up and begin my day as best as I can.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I did try a therapist but learned that the therapist has to have experienced what I am experiencing, the loss of a child, to be helpful.
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- Some books on grief are too sad, other's shed a light on this horrible journey.
- Remembering Working / Worked
- I cannot help but remember and share.
- Scrapbooking Considering
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I have no family.
- Support Groups Too Soon to Tell
- I joined Compassionate Friends and will attend my first meeting in a week.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Communicating what I am feeling is somewhat helpful with certain friends, with others, they don't really want to hear it. No parent wants to hear about the loss of a child. I talk with my next door neighbor who also lost her daughter a year ago this April.
