Big hug of comfort and support for you MysportguyTim..... I am so very sorry for your loss and for the pain that you're in
I think that a real life support group for parents who have lost children might help.... Someone very close to me lost her daughter a year ago and found a lot of comfort in being with people who could understand what she was going through and she developed a couple of good friendships through this group
I'm glad your here... DS is a great site..... Another hug and a blessing....xo

I agree with Sun. My sister died almost 6 years ago. It hit my parents very hard, and my sister was in her mid 50s at the time.

You may be able to find such a group by contacting the office of the doctor(s) who treated your son. They may have such a support group in mind.

Many people who have lost a child focus on helping other parents who are in a similar situation. Perhaps by becoming part of a support group for the condition that ultimately took the life of their child, or in a group like what Sun is referring to.

You are not alone in your journey. All of us here have lost somebody, but not all of us have lost a child. Please take what ever comfort you can find from our stories and our journey and use it on yours. Parts of our journeys that do not lend comfort to you can be ignored without fear of hurting our feelings.

Gentle hugs

Thank you for the kind replies. I am trying to get bereavment counseling for myself, my daughter, nephew and my sister through the company that provided my son's hospice care.
I know that the right counseling would help all of us.
Just being able to come on here and talk about my son really does help. Thank you so much.

I am so very sorry for your loss. We lost our granddaughter 3 yrs ago, she was 25 too. My daughter felt alot like you, our granddaughter was blind from birth and had other medical problems, she was very dependent on my daughter. She too just did not know what she was suppose to do, she had spent most all her time taking care of our granddaughter. She has other children and I told her she needs to devote her time to them now. It's a very hard process and she is still recovering from the loss, we all are. My thoughts and prayers are with you and so glad you found this group, we are all here to help each other and talk to others who understand.

Bless you. This is a fresh wound for you. We'll be interested in how you are.
Thank you for reaching out.

I understand the loss of a child I lost my son at the age of 28 he had pneumonia. He went to his heavenly home on 12/20/08. I belong to a group of moms who all have lost a child(ren). It is For Moms Only. I went to grief counciling but needed more. This group helped me so much. I hope you will join us we take all moms under our wings.
