Hi. I am new. I lost my adult son, Casey about eight months ago. His death was accidental and was and still is a tremendous shock to my wife and me. I feel my life has been turned upside down. I feel like a car going down the street with no steering wheel. I joined this group to perhaps find other people who feel and see the world as I do now. I guess I feel alone and want to finds others who understand.

You came to the right place, Neil. There is also a group, both online and in person, called The Compassionate Friends, for parents who have lost a child of any age. I also lost my adult son suddenly. He was on a cruise with his wife and died of an apparent heart attack. I'm sorry we all have reason to be in this group, but welcome.

Neil , I know how you feel. This shouldnt ever happen to anyone, but please take comfort in the fact that you are understood. My prayers and love to you.

I am sorry for your loss. I totally understand. I loss my son a month ago. I have to talk and there's no one that is comfortable talking to me. No one wants to see me cry. So, I join groups and type. I got a counselor- free, because I can't work. I am not functional and lost a job yesterday. One suggestion to me was to drink water and walk everyday- I have a hard time leaving my house. I did it yesterday and only walked one block but it's a start. Plus, my prayers are to find a way to change the seconds of everyday that I think of my son into happy memories that give me comfort instead of making me cry. I don't ever want to let go of him and I will never forget him. I pray for the same for you.

Neil, I am sorry for the loss of your son. I hope you find this group helpful. Many of us have also lost adult children. It's a painful, incomprehensible thing to have happened.

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
