my mother in law called me yesterday. she was in so much sadness and crying due to missing my husband, her son, so very much. I just dont know what words to say, when I am too, going through hell and inmense pain without my husband. I realize we both have different relationships with Danny. He was my partner, and he was her son. But at the end, we both share similar feelings, we both miss him dearly and are hurt because he was taken away from us so soon. My mother in law, said that from all of her 4 children, Danny, was the only one she can call to vent, and that he always listened and had the right words to make her day feel a lot better. He was the best son to her. And now he is no longer here. She decided to call me yesterday, since she felt the urge to just call Danny, she knew that i can also be a listener to her.  I somehow made it through the call and simply said to her that she can always find a daughter in me and listener as Danny was to her. How do you make a mother's pain better due to the loss of a son???? I just believe there are no words!!

it is just so much trauma. how our family was just all torned up and broken due to Danny's killing. It is just so unfair that we no longer have the good listener, the support, the love, affection from Danny here with us. The father to my son. How do i wrap myself around the idea of now raising my son on my own?? how? why?

Amanda,

I can't answer your why's..But I think you and your mother in law sharing your grief is a good idea..I know it won't take either of your pain away but just talking with someone who misses him too..Does help. When my mother first passed anyone who mentioned her I would cringe and totally clam up..It will be 8 months on the 7th and each passing day is easier for me to talk about her and I really like talking about her it makes me feel sad yes but also good to share memories of her. I share them with my children daily. I want them to remember her! I fear my youngest will not he didn't get to spend that much time with her..Because she was ill and he was only 15 months when she passed. I want to keep her memory alive through my children :) hugs

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
