Adrianne, once again, you said it perfectly. Those of us who have lost adult children, have also lost that baby we cuddled, the toddler who learned new things every minute of every day, the young child who amazed and amused us, the awkward teen who was learning about life, and the adult that made us wonder how it all happened in the blink of an eye. No, our loss hurts no less...

While this site can be very sad one thing it does for me is let me know I'm "normal".  It let's me know the things I feel and how I think is the same as every other parent that lost their child.  It's not where I want to be but at least I know I'm here with others who totally get it.

I agree Adrianne, many think because my Michael was no longer a little boy that it hurts less, well it doesn't. He was and will always be my Lil' Smurf.

I realize that most people think I have lost my adult son. My friends and family don't realize I have lost my baby, toddler, little boy, pre teen, teen, young adult, and my beautiful grown man. My best friend.

Adrianne, you expressed it perfectly. I think most of us would wish for our old kives back. This one really hurts. I can't quite comprehend how I can get up each day and "function," do the routine things of life. Somehow it feels like a betrayal of my son. Yet if he is safe and truly happy where he is, if given the choice to bring him back, I wouldn't. I guess I'm getting a deeper understanding of what it means to really love someone.

I want my old life back. The one where I worried but never thought it could happen to me. I experience moments and longer time periods where I just feel sadness. Then it hits me so violently that he's really gone. I am sick within every cell of my body. It reality frightens me. I miss my son. I want those days back.

Hello, I was also want to offer condolences to all the new moms to this group. My heart hurts with yours, my tears are flowing, this is all too much. When you feel like it, maybe you can read through some of the postings and profiles to see that you are not alone here. I am still suffering from the loss of my 21 yr old son....my baby. I am sending my love and hugs to all.

Hi Michele Blevins,

I truly understand your pain. I live in Mobile Alabama. I have lost my only son 7months ago. He was shot. He was with people that he should not have been with. I was fighting for my job before he died. Now, imagine my pain. It has double. Everyone still moving on. I took a job working in a food truck/then security company just to keep busy. I earned 2 Master's Degrees and can't find a Job. I did not have insurance on my son. So that will not help me. My point is I just want to live for my 2 daughter's now. So I am shame I can't provide for my family but I hear my son telling me as I scream his name, crying snotty tears..."Mama, please stop crying..." He only saw me once drop a tear. He did not like it at all. You know those boys...Michele.
