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.

Hitting me

My daughter did MAID last Tuesday and I've been holding up okay.But just now the Christmas convoy (trucks all lit up that do an organized drive through our small town) went by and suddenly I just started crying, thinking how my girl won't be around to have these small moments. And not that she would have - she wasn't a huge Christmas or celebration person. So I don't know why I'm sitting here crying about it.Oh this is going to hurt a lot :-(See More
