Hi. I am new. I lost my adult son, Casey about eight months ago. His death was accidental and was and still is a tremendous shock to my wife and me. I feel my life has been turned upside down. I feel like a car going down the street with no steering wheel. I joined this group to perhaps find other people who feel and see the world as I do now. I guess I feel alone and want to finds others who understand.

You came to the right place, Neil. There is also a group, both online and in person, called The Compassionate Friends, for parents who have lost a child of any age. I also lost my adult son suddenly. He was on a cruise with his wife and died of an apparent heart attack. I'm sorry we all have reason to be in this group, but welcome.

Neil , I know how you feel. This shouldnt ever happen to anyone, but please take comfort in the fact that you are understood. My prayers and love to you.

I am sorry for your loss. I totally understand. I loss my son a month ago. I have to talk and there's no one that is comfortable talking to me. No one wants to see me cry. So, I join groups and type. I got a counselor- free, because I can't work. I am not functional and lost a job yesterday. One suggestion to me was to drink water and walk everyday- I have a hard time leaving my house. I did it yesterday and only walked one block but it's a start. Plus, my prayers are to find a way to change the seconds of everyday that I think of my son into happy memories that give me comfort instead of making me cry. I don't ever want to let go of him and I will never forget him. I pray for the same for you.

Neil, I am sorry for the loss of your son. I hope you find this group helpful. Many of us have also lost adult children. It's a painful, incomprehensible thing to have happened.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
