Lost Grandson

My 18 year old grandson had skateboarding accident followed by a series of seizures.  On February 16, while spending the night at a friend's home, he had a seizure and passed away.  It was a shock to all of us.  I guess none of us ever thought the seizures would take him from us.  I know he was a grandson and not my own child but we were extremely close and almost as if he was my own child.  Nothing has ever hit me like this has.  Can't seem to find any reason to still be here.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 3 year old granddaughter in May, then my mom in April, the grief is horrendous........when it is children, it feels like you will never heal. I know I am still going through horrible crying everyday, and miss them both so much. But I wake up every moring with a reason to go on. HUGS

Thank you so much.  I'm still doing the daily crying as well.  I do okay at work as long as no one discusses it.  However, when I come home I just want to go to bed.

I have been crying for 5 months everyday, there is no experation on grief, and losing a child or grandchild is the most painful thing a person can experience, then my mom 8 weeks later. each day I pray for God & mom & dad & my precious Olivia to give me strength to get through another day, also for the sake of my son for losing his daughter, this is not supposed to happen............:(

"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
