My son is gone - 38 years old, too soon.

I lost my son on August 23 to Lynphoma cancer that had turned to Lukemia. He looked fine, he was relatively healthy but within a week he had died. He had lived with me on and off for the past three years (since he was diagnosed) and I was with him until the end. I had to tell the doctors to turn off the machines. My daughter, I have two children, was my rock. Thank God for my daughter or I wouldn't have been able to get through it. I am still in deniial I think. Most of the time I can't believe he is gone. It has been three weeks and I can still think of nothing else. Every waking moment it is in my head. Logically, I know he is better and not having to go through the horrible stuff you do when you have cancer. I have great faith and Iknow his life happened as it was supposed to. I have no doubts I will see him on the other side one day but none of that seems to really help the pain. I am keeping a journal of letters. Every day when it gets to be too much, I write him a letter. I so hope he knows how much I miss him and love him. I have read other post and it helps to know how others are feeling. Sometimes I feel there is no one in the world that knows what I am going through. I have lots of friends and family but I feel isolated too, I don't want them to think they have to take care of me. Thanks for reading this moms story.

"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
