Close Bereavement

Our son was killed in a head on collision the morning after his 26th birthday. He was the joy of of our hearts. I am still in disbelief and need someone to talk to.

Treatments

Crying Working / Worked

I cry most of the time in my car. I pass the accident scene to and from work. I also cry at the drop of a hat when I have been trying to stifle my tears. It helps when I cry to release some of the pain.

Getting Angry Working / Worked

I scream and cry out his name in the car. I keep hoping thinking that he will appear out of nowhere. . yeah right!!!

Keeping Busy Working / Worked

I am a music teacher, and I immerse myself in my students and my work. I am so thankful I have my job and a diversion. It's wonderful therapy,.

Music Somewhat Helpful

I'm a choir director so immerse myself in my church music. My son shared his music with me all the time, so the thought of hearing his music again hurts and brings immediate tears. He was a musician and had a wonderful voice. He was in a vand.

Prayer Working / Worked

I cry out to God when I am at the end of my rope. I also talk to Him constantly.

Remembering Somewhat Helpful

It's too painful to talk about him. I avoid the subject, because it hurts too much. He was a joy, he was fun, and always made me laugh.

Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

Of course, the support was huge right after the accident. Now, it's seems to be forgotten. Some friends do ask me how I am getting along. I don't think they are sincere all the time.

Talking Working / Worked

As I said before it hurts so much to talk about him.
