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 an upper respiratory infection and then it was the flu. My son was at home when he passed away I watched him die before my eyes. The coronor said my son died from a blood clot on his lungs and heart. My son nd I were very close and I miss him soooo much.

Vivian, You have my heartfelt sympathy. No one knows the pain of lossing a child unless they have been also lost a child. I have experienced that same pain of people not understanding what you are going through every minute. My son Marty died in a hospital after what the dr said was a routine aortic valve replacement. He was 34 and healthy. My life is upside down as I know your life is too. Was his death because of being misdiagnosed by the dr.? I attend a group called Compassionate Friends. Everyone in this group has lost a child. It's a group that no one ever wants to be a member of, but thank goodness they are there. I don't know where I would be today if I didn't attend these meetings. The folks in this group have become my dearest friends and family. They have been there for me through birthdays, holidays and everyday that I have needed a friend who really understands. They have chapters all over the US. I am grateful I have a wonderful husband that is grieving with me. He was a great daddy to Marty and is in pain just like me. I wish you peace as you continue to live without your son. Please contact me anytime.
Hugs,
Becky Loflin
Marty's Mama

"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
