Through the years I have seen a lot of death. I held a friend of mines hand while she was dying of cancer, and I promised I would hold her hand until the end, and I did. I watched how her family got to tell her how much they loved her, and how they would miss her so much. I always felt cheated that I didn't get to hold my little boy in my arms, and tell him how much I loved him. Instead I had to hold my beautiful child in a body bag, and never got to see his wonderful face. He was burned so they wouldn't let me see him. I'm still not sure what would've been worse. It all happened so fast. Then when my son Ben was killed it too happened so fast that once again I didn't get to say all the things I would've liked too. Not having that special time with either of them has left me feeling ripped off, and hard to believe it happened.
The grief time was less with my Ben, I think it might've been because I did get to hold him in my arms, and I did get to see his face, or maybe because I had already been through it once before. I don't honestly know. I do wonder how different it might've been had I had the chance to know ahead of time. I do know however that if I couldn't write down all the awful feelings, pain, and sorrow that has become my life, I don't think I would've survived any of it. I do know that when a loved one is very sick, and dying that you get a heck of a lot more time to prepare for death, but are we ever really prepared for death?

I feel sudden can be traumatic and add a lot of time to the grief process what do you guys feel ?
Sorry Kali. Hang in there.
Yes Debra put him on the passenger seat and talk. I put him on the sofa and talk as well; yes writing a journal is also good but I am not there yet. So imagine it is all still as before at least for part of the day/week. You have done well to stay calm.
Thanks Debra
Missy N., I am sorry for your loss. I hope you find help and comfort here. This is a good group and it has helped me.
Hi Danny,
Sorry for your loss. I do cry when I need to. I visit Dad's grave every couple weeks and talk to him. My cousin told me to put Dad in the passenger seat of the car and talk with him. Sometimes when I travel roads that we used to together I feel very calm and peaceful. I believe Dad is with me at those times. Take care.
