It is obvious that we are on a horrific roller coaster ride. Reading through the posts I notice we have days where we have more strength and days where we fall back on the extreme severity of our loss. I am not sure if that will ever change. It will never get better. It will definately always be different. We have understanding here. Knowing sadly that we all understand each other. Friends god bless them believe that in time I will just remember the best memories I had with my son. I don't tell them that in between I have panic attacks when I think of his body laying in a morgue. Or the autopsy. I suffer from PTSD. I'm sure we all do. We have to be the bravest of brave. This isn't anything any of us would have ever signed up for. I'm thankful I can come here. I feel all of your pain. Yet I'm still grateful to have you that understands mine.

All this about going through it.. is there any choice? even if we think we are stuck, we really aren't as like it or not one goes through it- It can't be avoided, unless one knocks oneself senseless.. every thing else, starting from shock, despair, anger, guilt, avoidance of the fact etc is also 'going through' it , isn't it?..xoxoxox

Davi, don't even think of burdening yourself with what others think.. some will think and say this, some that, don't worry about it as only you will know that the days ahead some days when you feel you are coping will be the best days we have. Other days will be a downslide.. we are all there and we are with you..

It's all that dang grief. You can't go around it. You can't go under it. You just have to go through it.

Grief is a thief. It steals all of your todays by making you dread tomorrow. All we really have is today. Today is all anyone has, and there's no reason to worry about tomorrow. God is already there. Peace to all

Davi, Connie's right.  Only you know what you can and can not do. 

I'm sorry your joining us. We all walk together just at different paces.

Davi, only you know the pace at which you can grieve. Your loss is so new, that you are still in shock and just want the grief to go away and have your child and your life back.  Each day will be different, sometimes each hour or minute. You should not add to your pain by feeling guilty  about any expectations of how or how fast you will grieve. You have the right and the need to feel just how you feel. Wishing you peace today.

I am having a hard time with guilt its has been 1 month since I lost my 16 yr. old to a tragic accident. part of me feels like if i move forward to fast people will say oh my didn't you just lose your son, and then I feel like i am not moving on fast enough for work and the people who need me right now. I just don't know what to do. I know there is no set rules as to how this is supposed to go

Difficult to fake a happy face when you are dying bit by bit every day. Connie thanks for you and all here for the understanding.  (((((( ))))))

Thank you Adrianne but everyday I feel strong but also I feel myself hiding away from everyone because the truth is they just don't understand or care anymore.. So I feel so much more alone by the day...that is why I find myself drawn to all of you...I feel your pain....
