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.

Tammy. I'm so sorry. We know the pain. The grief you are experiencing. It never will be okay. Never be better It just gets different. Sending you and the others a hug.

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.

Ammy

Oh my dear Adrianne, I know.....here's a hug.

We pretty much all have the same torments. Karen you put in to words what I'm going through. I don't want to think about the autopsy but I do. I couldn't ever deal with him being hurt in any way. I'm tired of this pain. I pray for god to just take me. it is a struggle to be in this much pain 24/7. I miss him so much. I failed to keep him safe.

I know that feeling, nearly every night I find myself laying in bed, tired and ready for sleep but all that comes to my mind is thoughts of Jimmy. Jimmy's dead! God I miss him! Will I see him again? Where is he? Is he safe? Is he at peace? Did/does he know how much I love him? My heart aches, I feel as if I'm losing my mind and I feel so alone in this world. No-one can understand how important it is to me to talk about him, keep his memory alive. I think of ways to keep his memory alive. It is very important to me to keep his memory alive and I find myself frustrated and hurt because I feel his brother, my ex-husband (Jimmy's step father), my mother and other family have just moved on. I understand life continues on despite losing our loved ones, and maybe it is different for mothers and fathers, we feel it differently. I just want to wake up from this nightmare, I know I never will and I hate this!!!!!!!!!!

Hitting me

My daughter did MAID last Tuesday and I've been holding up okay.But just now the Christmas convoy (trucks all lit up that do an organized drive through our small town) went by and suddenly I just started crying, thinking how my girl won't be around to have these small moments. And not that she would have - she wasn't a huge Christmas or celebration person. So I don't know why I'm sitting here crying about it.Oh this is going to hurt a lot :-(See More
