I am so sorry honey. There is no pain worse than losing a child. I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank you and yes your right

I know that must be painful to lose your son. I lost my husband in a single car accident on his way to work a little over 2 months ago. Praying for you and all of us who have lost loved ones.

Prayers for you too!

Welcome to DS..... I am so very sorry to read what's brought you here..... Gentle hug and a blessing....xo

Each loss hurts, but some how we all get through it. For me it has been 2 years since dad died; 3 years since mom died, and 6 years since my sister died. I think that the first year is the hardest because there are so many "firsts without them" that we need to get through.

Please, vent all you need here. We will be here for you.

I'm so sorry about ur loss.

Its horrible. I lost my mom thru burning too. Loosing your loved one is never easy. It's like part of you died. And you will carry on that lost with you for the rest of your life. Things will be better in a sense that time heals, but the main thing is acceptance. Accept your lost, your fate, your curse. Once you have surrender to this, you will feel better because there is no struggle, no asking why, no anger. That is the first step.

I will not be one of those who post and tell you it will get better. Many folks have said that to me about my sister who recently passed 7 months ago and when you have children or brothers and sisters, sometimes you think they will live forever, then when something happens, you are completely caught off guard and nothing can console you. I will pray hard for your strength, but I know that lost and hopeless feeling and you have to keep moving forward, but I know it is so very difficult.

Thank you all for your responses, prayers and support! Been having a really hard time lately. It helps to share sometimes. My family is awesome but I hate burdening them every time I am feeling down.

It is great that you have an awesome family; perhaps you can ask them if they feel too burdened when you come to them. That will help you adjust just how much you depend on various people. Watch the nonverbal responses, they are likely more accurate than the verbal ones.

Continuing hugs

I know how you feel. I just lost my only son to a accidental overdose on 10/22/17. I was the one who found him in his room at 4:30am. It wasn't his first overdose but I was always able to find him in time to bring him back. He was a honor roll college student 3 semesters from graduating with 2 degrees. I had him young so we grew up together and he was my best friend. My life is over but I can't put my family and husband through another loss. My heart and prayers go out to you. Just know your not alone in your grief.

I'm so sorry about your son. It's hard. I pray and keep going but some days really knock me down. I try to stay busy...when I slow down..i think too much. My son was my best friend too. It's like we just survive and go thru each day in a blur. My prayers for your comfort and peace!
