18 months goneand I am now facing Gabriels 18 birthday, This is not my life and every day i get up to go to work and i am the walking numb, I dream about his beautiful face almost every night and wake up crying. It seems that after an okay day the next is so very sad and physically painful, I never knew such sadness could be so physically painful
Have not been on here for awhile, my youngest daughter moved back home which is good for me any way. I don't have as much quiet time to just sit and think. On the 3rd of this month, it had been 18 months since I lost my son, Zach. For those of you who are new to this group, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish that we would never have to have new members, I don't wish this pain on any one. I will say that most days for me have gotten a little easier, though it seems like the last week or so I have been having some hard days again. Not really sure why, but I am remembering times with Zach growing up and having some regrets. I have three daughters also, and I just had a different relationship with Zach them I have with them. I didn't have a whole lot in common with Zach, but as he was getting older we were getting closer. I regret that we weren't as close or did as much together as I did with my daughters. The other night I just lay in bed and cried feeling so sad that I didn't do more with him than I did. Does anyone else ever have those feelings. I am sad that just when we were beginning to spend more time together, that is when I lost him. I miss him so very much, and wish I could just give him one more big hug and tell him how much I love him and miss him. I have to believe that some day I will see him again or I would go crazy. Sending prayers and hugs to all.
Tammy things will never be the same. All you can do is go with the ups and downs of the days that will go by. I keep myself busy and do these projects that I told myself I need to get done.... but deep inside I'm so broken. Don't be too hard on yourself. Grieve when you need to, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Only you know what is right for you. Hugs from me. Hugs to everyone here on the site.
Hi Tammy, I am also very sorry to learn of yet, another tragic loss. It has not gotten any easier for me since my 21 yr old son passed away in October 2009! I just feel like it will NEVER be "ok". I would also encourage you to join us all here, where we all truly 'get it'. So sorry.
Hi Tammy, I am so sorry that you have had to experience the loss of your son. To me, there is no loss as devastating as that of a child.
I just wanted to let you know that what you are feeling is completely normal. Do not expect to get over it as some think we should. Take your time and grieve. Each day may be a little different, but you will have calmer days. It takes time. You will never forget or stop loving and missing him, but it will not always be as hard as it is. You are still fresh in your grief. 5 Months is not long at all. Let yourself grieve as you need, but also try to take care of yourself.
I also lost my son. In 4 days I will be at 32 months and some days are just like it happened, but I do have days that are not as bad. Each one of us walk the same road, but in slightly different shoes and at different times. It's okay.
Come here and write. It's helpful to get out your feelings & frustrations. We are all here to do that and to help and be helped.
Blessings & hugs to the group.
