    • About Me

      I have been divorced 20 years. I live with my dog, Mable Lue and a bird, Jubal Mae. I am the mother of 2 boys and grandmother of 4. My oldest son, 38, lives on the east coast about 750 miles away from me. My youngest, 34, lived 2 miles from me. My boys and my grandkids are the joy of my life. I'm very independent but always knew I had my Dad and youngest son close by in case I needed help with something. My Dad died in 1994 and now my son is gone too. I'm feeling like I'm falling without a safety net.

      Type: Loss of a Child

      My son, age 34, was killed 7 weeks ago in a work related accident. We lived just 2 miles apart and we were very close. He also has 4 children, 3 living in the same town as me and 1 who lives in another state, 700 miles away. They are all under the age of 14. Not only am I having an extremely difficult time dealing with this myself, my heart is breaking for my grandchildren who are devasted by their Daddy's death. He was a most loving and attentive Dad. He lived for his children.
