On February 5th my beautiful Amanda has been gone for 18 months. The pain is still so unbelievable. Waiting on this trial has also been hard. I wake up thinking about her I go to sleep thinking about her. My mind races I keep picturing facing the man that took her beautiful life in a split second. Like she was nothing. How do I heal?im grateful for everyone to vent to. God bless all of you.

One year ago yesterday was the day that changed my life forever. My beautiful 24 year son died on February 8th. You would think that the pain would get better, but it really hasn't. I still think about him constantly. I go between depression and anxiety, but am afraid to go on medication because of the side effects. I can't imagine ever really being happy again.
I love you Troy. You will never be forgotten.

Barb birthdays are always hard. Spend the day the way you need to. 

I can say nothing or I can honestly tell you I spent the first year crawled up on my bathroom floor just crying all day until someone opened the door to check on me. When I looked up I saw 9:00pm on the clock and realized I survived it.  Until that moment I literally felt like I would die that day.  I gone through more birthdays with Valentines every where I look as a in my face reminder. 

Barb I will also tell you this.....I did not spend the past two years on the bathroom floor and don't expect to this year either.  I did spend them crying my eyes out though. But it wasn't on the bathroom floor. My anxiety is already starting and February isn't even here yet. 

I expect to cry, not sure what else I'll do but I know I will do what I can so I'm not on that floor.  In time I want to be able to celebrate Michael's life rather than mourning it.  I'm just not there.

My daughter passed away 1/15/15, tomorrow is her 36 birthday, I am having a hard time. I miss her so bad.
I want the pain to go away.

Here I go again, I don't want February to come.  Valentine's Day is Michael's birthday.  He was the best gift I ever received.  He would be turning 33 this year.  So I sit and wonder what his life would have been like.

Miss you Mike! Love you Michael!

Interesting web site from bereaved father Guy who lost his son Billy to an ATV accident.

Mona

 I am so sorry to welcome you here. My son died the same way a little over 3 years ago. He was a passenger with 3 boys and he was the only one killed (the others were barely injured). the driver made an arrogant, negligent move that cost my son his life. Your daughter is beautiful and I hope you can find some comfort here. Prayers to you.

I'm sorry. 7 months for us... We live in the path that this winter storm is coming. Last winter my Cameron and I hibernated and watched movies during snowstorms.. This really brings back memories and also hurts that he isn't here to hang out with. I didn't know a sadness like this existed in life.

Yes, I haven't been on much. I just buried myself in work and physical work for the past months since August. We quit going to therapy and Compassionate Friends. We hardly talk about my son because it is so hard, 5 year and the pain is still here. Life is cruel.

I read these words here and I hear these same words in my head, the same pain in my heart.
I spend my days trying to keep my brain busy so I don't let myself think, so I don't drop into that big black hole, to try to hold back the pain. I am tired so tired but sleep is hard to come by.

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.
