The loss of my son
My name is Vivian. I lost my 16 year son on October 23, 2011. I am hurting so much and noone seems to care what I am going through. When I bring up my son they want to change the subject which upsets me because I am basically going through my grief alone. My husband isn't here for me he just pushes me away. I miss my son so much, his death was unexpected. He was sick off and on for two weeks before he passed away. He was going back and forth to the doctor. First they said he had…

"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

Vivian- Thinking of you today and praying that you are doing better. Well "better" meaning that you are having a good day. Take care of yourself. <Huggs>>>>
Vivian, I understand. I really do. I lost my only sister on the 15th of December 2011. The doctors said the same thing. She went in to hospital for a routine check because of the flu [she was pregnant], & had an overnight stay recommended so she could rest. It didn't happen that way. I don't know or understand why these things happen but I do know that the love and bond we share with the people we've parted shortly with, is never gone. We miss their presence, I know I miss my sister every second of every day, but that bond never goes away. A bond with someone, it's a gift we receive, to know that we've truly lived. It's a testimony about your life, that you knew what love was and cherished it. Some people never know that. I know you miss him, like I miss my sister but I'm slowly starting to understand that I would rather have had her in my life than never have know someone as beautiful as she. She gifted me with a wonderful sibling relationship. Please know that until we can be reunited with our loved ones and the Lord in Heaven, we can lean on each other. I'm always here to talk.
Vivian, I wish I could say something that made sense, but right now most things don't make sense. Please write anytime. I can't stay on right now as we are having our Internet service changed and the service man just got here. Hope you are doing okay today. Will be back later if everything goes well with this change of service. Sending hugs.
Dear Vivian - I'm so very sorry to hear about your son. Here on this site you will feel comfortable in sharing what is on your mind as you go through this terrible grieving period. You surely are still in shock at the unexpected death of your dear son. Believe me when I say that we do know how your are feeling and each of us are going thru similar experiences. You have friends here. Hugggs to you. Take care of yourself.
Vivian, I'm sorry for your loss. This group knows the pain you are going through. You said you are alone in your grief and I can understand that feeling too. I often feel like I am alone. You have to realize that others feel uncomfortable about this. They tend to draw away. It's all normal according to what I have read and see in comments from other grieving parents. This is when you find out who really cares I guess. One of my closest friends for 32 years use to call me almost every day until my son left. I saw her once after that and have never heard from her again, so nothing surprises me anymore. Our lives are forever changed. We now have to find a new normal, but you are not alone here. We are here for you.
