I'm not too computer savey but I ussually just click where I am and type to reply... then folks may e-mail you then I click on the blue.... Maybe Karen can help with more advice... all I can say Jane is that I have had a very difficult time with losing my 14 year old son 2009 who also had Autism..... I still miss him very much and feel so totally isolated with my feelings but this site has helped a lot... it seems like the only place I can really talk to folks that may understand.
Has anyone on here lost their only child? I lost my son Jacob, age 24, last October due to an accidental drug overdose. I am so devastated. I am no longer a mother, and will never have the chance to be a grandmother. I was wondering if there is anyone in a similar situation who can relate.
I lost my son June 18 2012 due to a drug overdose it was the worst day of my life, sometimes I feel like I cant go on in life. I know that is not how David would want me to feel. But the loss of him is so horrible. I try to think of all the good times but it is really hard. There was a number of times I had talked with David about his drug abuse and he always said he was not addicted, sometimes I feel like I failed him.
Hi Patty
I am so sorry for your loss. I feel the same way you do. It is such a complicated burden to bear, this grief. I know I wish I could go back and do a million things differently but try to remember that even if you had done more to help him quit taking drugs, it was always ultimately up to him. People who go to rehab, relapse again and again. Try not to feel guilty on top of all you have to go through. Your son knows how you loved him and that is all that matters now and all that is real.
