Traumatic loss of an only child
Information
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Kim - I know it is so difficult to get those horrible memories out of your head. I'm sorry you are hurting so badly. Sometimes, not thinking about it almost seems like a betrayal. I had a hard time with this and remembering that night. The coroner coming. The horror of seeing a facebook post which told of a car accident but not who was okay. I couldn't see my son for 2 days because they took him to a morgue far from our house. But the fact is, for your own health you have to try to replace that memory with a positive one if you can. My counselor had me do this as an exercise. Just try to start thinking of a positive memory with your child. I know it sound impossible but going through this grief takes hard work, really. It's exhausting. When I am faced with this challenge and consciously change my thoughts, I eventually find that I am thinking of something happier and I know those negative things are not what my son would want me to dwell on. Hugs.

It's just an especially hard time because of graduation etc. I lost my only child 18 months ago - It feels like yesterday. He was 17 and all we planned for him and ourselves is gone. I was his caretaker because he suffered from Crohn's Disease and was home schooled the last 2 years and still am not working because of a badly broken arm and I feel lost without him. I believe he is okay and his spirit lives. I just can't figure out how to move forward in this world without him. I try to live so he would be proud and do things to keep his memory alive in service to others. I just don't know what else to do. Sending everyone here love and prayers today.

"is griefshare a website like this?"

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
