Saturday will be 8 weeks since my son passed away. I hate the way I feel everyday. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life like this. Robby was the youngest of 5. He was only 15 years old. I know my other children are hurting and I don't know how to help them. I feel like I can barely take care of myself. My other children all live outside the house and I live alone. I think about Robby every second of the day. I have done a lot of reading on the death of a child and I have went to some support groups but most meet once a month and that doesn't seem often enough. The thought of the holidays coming is horrible.

*** NOTE TO THE GROUP *** Please keep in mind everyone- That we all have a right to our beliefs - Spiritual etc... It is wonderful if you have kept your faith through your loss- But- not everyone has- & if you preach you can be pushing the people away that may just need understanding the most. We as parents are all suffering the worst lost ever & have a right to grieve & reach out to others that understand without a preaching reply. ( We can go to clergy if we want that) You may be trying to help but- that is not always the case.

That is what this page is for Ken - we all understand (hug to you & your family) from ours. So sorry about your daughter - I relate to what you are saying, only my husband goes off to work & I am at home. we just hit the 3year mark - which I still do not believe- I just cant except this. Life hurts so much now.

Last week was 10 months since my daughter passed away and for myself it only seems to be getting worse, I miss her so much. It really sucks because I have to keep going because the world around us doesn't stop, I have to work make sure my son and wife are okay and bills are paid. It's good and its bad, work keeps me occupied and mind off of it sometimes but there are alot of morning that it is hard to get going. It does build up and when I do get a chance to grief it is so bad and could cry for hours. Her 19th birthday is next week and 2 days after Christmas it will be a year, this is goign to be the hardest to get through.

I feel so bad for my wife, I know it is different for a mother and have no idea the pain and suffering she is feeling.. She is so strong when i am around but can only imagine what she feels when i am at work and son is at school. She isnt working which only makes it worse. She never griefs in front of me so I don't know what to say or do...this is so hard.

Sorry just venting a bit.

Sharon- you are not alone about the giant mixer! It has bee nearly 4 years since I lost my son. I am still having days of confusion, anger, depression and sometimes all of those at once. Some days I just want to turn into a ball and cry and others I feel ok then get mad at myself for feeling ok. Yeah I would join one of those gripe forums too!

Thank all of you for sharing the fact that you are angry. I am so angry that if I tried to write it the folks managing this site would terminate me for the language and the craziness that would spew. I would join a bitch forum in a minute!! Does anyone else feel like there is a giant "mixer" inside them churning the guts and just leaving you nauseous. Even on what I call a good day I feel like I am on pins and needles and Xanax only made me "stupid" without easing the feelings. Anyone?

Dear Anne, Thank you for saying your angry. When we try to stuff it inside it only makes us sick. Remember how Jesus said be child like, well all children get mad, when they have something they love taken away from them. Beat up a pillow, scream at God, or the moon in the sky, you have a right to be mad. Perhaps we should start a bitch forum, a place to write our anger, and let it out. I think everyone would understand.
Dear Sheryl, Lee am sure is proud of you.
Dear Sharon, thank you for sharing your report, I hear and understand why this was a small measure of comfort.

I guess I have a small reason to be thankful (that is what I am struggling with today-remembering to find something positive in each day). The detective called a few days ago. They got the tox screen back on my son-he was negative for drugs and the alcohol level indicated maybe one or two drinks. They have ruled out murder, suicide, drugs and alcohol. So even though the ME has to list it as COD: Undetermined, I know that my son died a natural death. Don't get me wrong, this does not make him being dead "ok" but what it does is bring me a small measure of comfort to know that he did not do anything to contribute to his own death. It also tells me that it had to be natural causes which means that I didn't miss something-I could not have prevented his death-I am not guilty. That has been eating me inside out for the two months since we learned our only child was dead, found in the woods-alone. I thank God for this small measure of comfort.

Today it has been three months since my beautiful daughter Lyndsey died. On the one hand, it seems like it was yesterday... on the other hand it seems so much longer. I know she's no longer with us, but a part of me still can't quite believe it's real! Yesterday, my sister and I went to the cemetary with a bouquet of black and orange flowers. Lyndsey loved loved loved Halloween!!! I know she would love them, and I felt so good afterwards!!

This past Wednesday marked the 9 month anniversary of my 9 year old daughter's passing. It tears me up to know that she's now been gone from me for the same amount of time that I kept her safe inside me xxx
