After the loss of your adult child, do you have concern of losing other children?

After the loss of my 41 year old son to a massive coronary, I have encountered a concern of one or both of my other children passing also. My daughter has recently begun to have problems with her…Continue

- About my Loss:
- I had a son who had a terrible car accident 18 years ago. He lost both feet and a finger at the scene of the crash. We didn't know if he would survive but he did. He never learned to use his prosthetics. He ended up with an above the left knee amputation and a below the right knee amputation. The feet were gone at the scene. He has dealt with enormous phantom pain for all these yeaars and was on medication for it. Dr.s told me his pain was like a memory of the point of impact. On April 30, 2010 my daughter went by to pick him up to take him and grandpa out to eat. When they got to his appartment, they saw the door was not locked. They pushed the door open and saw him on the floor, but thought he was asleep. They soon realized he had passed away. They called 911 and then Stacie called me to tell me. She is also the one who found out about his accident and came to get me. I could not believe he was gone. I had spent some extra time with him that week and was grateful. The monday before my younger son called me and had received a text that was unusual and wanted to send police to check on him. I told him I had a key and would check on him. He was fine. just tired and went to bed. I notified my younger son and we all rested easy after that. When I got to his appartment, a police woman came out and told me that I should not go in, that as one mother to another she didn't feel it was good for me to see him. Since that time I cannot get control of my emotions. I would not have him to come back to the pain he was in, but I have a hole the size of Texas in my heart and the pain is horrendous. I don't know how to gain control and need some help. Thank you for taking time to read this.

A little 8 yr. old boy went home to be with Jesus today.
A little boy passed away today. His name was Cody, and he was innocent. He had a Liver disease that was inherited genetically. It was called Allegilles Syndrome. He has lived his whole life as a sick little boy, always jaundiced. My youngest son was involved with his mother, and came to love that little boy more than he thought possible. He is still grieving the loss of his brother a year ago April 30. He takes comfort in the fact that Shawn is there to meet Cody. Please pray for Cody's parents… Continue

Comfort From Above
This poem may have already been posted here, but I found it and have been helped immensly by it. I thought I would once again share it. It is not one that I have written. I hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me.

Shopping with Shawn
Hello, I just got back from spending a week with my daughter and her girls. Had a good time, but missed being on here. those little girls give her a run for her money. This week she is sick. She has pancreatitis and is in an enormous amount of pain. She has high blood pressure, and just started medication for that. Found herself getting dizzy and light headed. Dr. told her it is because her body is not used to this…

When My Mom Died
My Mom was 86 when she passed. As a child I have had dreams of her being killed and living in fear of it. I was 5 and we were driving away and I suddenly had a vision of bad men killing her and us finding her when we got back. It didn't happen, but I had several times of these dreams. My Mother was a very quiet, timid woman. She had been taken away from her mother along with 4 other siblings because my grandfather was a drunk who stole kids clothes from the clothes lines to sell for liquor.… Continue

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"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

I am so sorry for your loss! I too lost my husband of 35 years. The pain is indescribable only someone who has lost a loved one can understand your pain! You feel a hole in your heart, lost and scared! What is helping me get through my grief is returning to church and believing my loved one is no longer in pain and at peace! I cry daily but they say it is good to cry that you need to let the tears out. I am told when I can think of him without crying and remember the love we shared and thoughts of him bring happiness that I am getting better! I am told there is no way around it, no shortcuts. Grieving is a process that you must go through. I also joined the online support group to hear others stories and maybe some help will come through their experiences. I am also receiving grief counseling from my pastor. I am trying to stay connected to family members and keep myself busy. Someone had mentioned in church to do something for him here on earth in his memory. She said she has started a memorial garden for her mother she has here grandchildren involved in the planting. So anything you do that helps you get through the day will help, Meditation, reading the bible. Trusting in the Lord! That his time is not our time. Psalm 91 and psalm 121 have helped me.
Thankyou for your Sensitivity towards my Best Friend Rhetty, who has Suffered 41 years too long. Luckily, she has found a few online support groups for Birth Mothers as well as Face to Face Meetings for Birth Parents, Adoptees, and even Adoptee Parents to meet and Share their feelings. Here is Rhetty's Story. She said she has many American Friends online who are Very Kind & Supportive. Please pray for her and Scott and that they will reunite soon, as her knee has been in great pain and she fortunately survived Emergency Cancer Surgery 2 years ago. Thankyou for your Prayers. Peace To You as well. John

I'm So Sorry to hear about the Tragic Loss of Your Son Peggy. My Best Friend's son Scott was Born in 1969 as well, however she doesn't know where he is, as she was forced to give him up for adoption and she recently heard that he's "not interested" in 'communicating' with her through her 'social worker'. May God Heal All of Us and Forgive Others who have "Trespassed Against Us" like my 'Mother, 'brother' and 'sister', whom I'm trying to Learn How to Let Go of 'Expecting' them to 'Apolgize' for their INsensitivities.
Have a blessed week, my friend.
Dear Peggy,
Im so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. As I was reading I couldnt help but draw similarities between Shawn and my late brother, Lyle. Lyle suffered a broken back a year before he died and it was so tough for him because he just wanted to do the things he could before the accident. His independence was so important for him. I hope you are doing okay today. Im thinking about you and praying for you.
