    • I’m With You

      From barbaw36 October 20, 2007

      I am so sorry for your loss! I can't imagine how you get through the days, but you are doing it! Try to take one day at a time. I lost a son years ago. He was just 11 days old. I can't even begin to tell you how hard it was getting through those days. But somehow, I managed. It wasn't easy and I know it won't be for you either. You have so many memories of your son. Please take care of yourself. It takes time, but it does get easier. You just have to work on getting through the present day. I'll pray for you. I'm just wondering, have you seen a therapist? If not, you might consider trying to find a good one. It helps so much to have someone to sit and talk with when your down. It's not going to bring back your son, but it will most likely be very helpful to you. Hang in there Hon!
