Zell, I have to agree with Dolly and others that have posted. I would never deny your grief is not all consuming. We all are grieving. I have lost my parents and I grieve for them but in no way is it the same as losing my son. There are other on-line groups right here that you may be able to benefit more. You may find more in common with others there. You have no idea what it is to lose a child, I am sorry but no matter how close you were to your partner you did not give birth to your partner. The grief is not the same...I am sorry Zell but I did not understand why you were in this group.

TERESA I'm sorry... I just posted a bunch of comments on YOUR PAGE by mistake... I meant them for someone else who's comments in here were upsetting me... I'm a total dork....

Dolly, my son Troy passed away on Sunday. He was 24 also. I agree the pain is unbearable.

Has anyone seen anything of Jacki Splittorf? She posted about losing her little son not long ago but I haven't seen her at all since then... she has been on my heart...

and Brandon would be turning 24 this month.... what age are you in heaven sweet one?  Are there 'ages' in heaven? I wonder about heaven more and more... I daydream about it.... I want to be more aware of it on any level that isn't wrong in God's eyes... I don't want to be deceived but I do want signs and whatever sort of communication is right if any.... looking for something .... there is so often the sweetness of lilies that surrounds me out of nowhere... but I always want more...

I too do not believe that someone who has not lost a child can even begin to fathom what it does to a mother... its a grief that just takes you over.. there isn't any almost... and never any relief.... its a done deal and it is SO horrible and SO crushing.... I know some try to sympathize... but I don't think those efforts can begin to touch me... I can't think about how to answer the questions... I don't WANT to answer them ... and my real friends are those who know what I am talking about here... sadly because have first hand knowledge of the horror... I don't want to negate or minimize anyone else's grief.. I NEVER want to find out what it's like to lose my mate...God willing that will NEVER happen to me .. please God...  but I do not want to feel unable to freely express my pain ... and to be honest I am never really able to be open except with those who really do know what I'm talking about... I have lost all sorts of close loved ones... but NOTHING prepared me for this... I can only hope I don't have to face a worse kind of grief EVER or I think I will surely go totally insane...

Maureen I strongly agree! 

As I sit here dealing with my Michael's birthday the post with "almost" and "relieved" is tearing me apart.  I almost feel teased.

THANK YOU!  I appreciate everyone of you for the love and support that you give.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE! MOMMY LOVES YOU!!!

Everyone flooded me with phone calls, texts, and messages today.  The love and support was overwhelming.  Yet I still cry for my Michael!

I just got my little thumbprint pendant of my son. My hands have been shaking all day and I have been trying to find a chain for it. I dropped my phone outside of Macy's as I was running into look for the chain. Thank god someone turned it in for me. I can't keep it together. I keep repeating to myself "stay in the moment" my doctor tells me to keep saying it to myself over and over.

Zell, I hope you don't take this the wrong way but the reason I joined this specific group is because everyone here has lost a child, like myself. That is what we share and that is very different from losing anyone else. When I post to this group, it's ONLY for other grieving parents to see. One of the things that bother me most is when people tell me they know what I'm going through when there's no way they can, without having lost a child. I'm being truthful here and I'm sorry but I don't think you belong in this particular group. It's just my opinion. Others may not agree.
