see how the day goes
Well I have the next 3 days off, this is rare.
I and Bailey are going to clean house, then I need to go to the cemetary and make sure that …
I am 47 years old, I have 2 sons my oldest was 20 years old 4 months away from being 21 when he was taken from me in a auto accident. My youngest is now 20 and he lives at home with me. My boys are my life and I am having a very hard time since I lost my oldest. I am the lead cook in our school district, and I also cook for our county jail. I lost my boy on May23rd of this year, 3 days before my birthday, I laid him to rest the day after my birthday. My youngest and I are trying to keep moving on, but when you love someone as much as I loved him it is very hard to keep going somedays. It is a good thing I have 2 jobs just to make ends meet, it keeps me very busy, I work 7 days a week and only have every 4th weekend off, so when I do have down days all I do is cry. I just want to talk to other people that know how I feel.

I am so sorry for your loss. My son died 9-28-06. I noticed you work in corrections as did I for over 10 years.
I love you and pray that God will lift you up. There are a great bunch of mothers here to help, we help each other as we go along this path.
Love

You have come to the right place. There are so many Moms here that can understand what you are feeling and going through. My situation is a little different as my only child (son) died by suicide 2 yrs ago. I will never be the same. Nobody can ever "get over" the death of their child and a lot of outsiders just don't "get" that fact. I know in my case, I have a hole in my heart and gut where Jamie used to be. We were so very close, and I have always felt that there is something special between a mother and a son. When people talk about "baby steps"--they mean just to take one step at a time, don't push, give yourself permission to grieve. If you feel like crying, then do,...rant and rave, scream, beat up a pillow, or anything that gives you some relief. Just remember, Hon, love never dies. There will be signs, I have had many from my son.God Bless you on this journey and grant you some peace and comfort! Tight hugs, Judy
Connie, I am so sorry to read Callyn's story. I hope there is some small comfort in knowing that someone who loved him was with him while he was fighting to survive. We all understand your pain and will be here with you as we learn to live without our precious children. God bless, Barbara/EvansMom
