Hi  My son died almost 4 years ago at the age of 20.  Some days I feel like its not such a big deal and others I am overcome with sadness and I feel I want to die along with him.  The sad reality is that its something I will have to live with forever.  The sadness doesnt go away and I miss him everyday.  I spent lots of time helping my other children to grieve and i dont think I did it myself!  I have a hard time going to weddings even today because he was engaged to be married and when i go to a wedding it hits me like a ton of bricks that I will never see him getting married

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Being a mother, I can't imagine the pain you are going through. Please feel free to message me if you need to talk. My grief is very very new and I'm learning that talk to others has helped a lot. I'm also learning that simply blogging about my pain and thoughts and feelings helps a tremendous amount. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

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.
