Thank you for the support Adrianne and Karen, some days I just feel like its too much... Karen, I can only sleep in my bed if I beat my husband there and if he wakes me up or if I'm the last to sleep its on the coach ... I just can't bear to go to bed without my kids being home... I always waited up now for nothing,,, but it just doesn't seem right to just go to sleep without my son home... I guess it's just my mind trying to fix it??? And yes I always look for my son when I'm out.. Everyone looks like him or dresses like him ...this is to painful to except.. People expect for you to except and go on but they don't understand I am changed I spend all my time in pain thinking of my baby.. And why

Yes Michelle, speaking for myself, I relate everything to my son. I don't know what's "normal" anymore. I am tormented by my thoughts of what my son must have felt before he loss consciousness.

I also am still going through the obsession of trying to find my son, meaning when I am out, I purposely look for young men/boys that look my my son. I still tell myself that i have been mistaken and look for my son to cone through the door daily. Some days I can't take the mental torture and i just want to disappear. I envy all of the parents that still have ALL of their children. If only I could see and hold him again.

Having another crazy sad day.. Does everyone relate everything to their child in some way or is this just me ...I feel like it shouldn't be this crazy.. At work on break I think of sharing a photo of my children with a coworker.. Then I start thinking oh I have my sons wallet in my purse ( I just can't seem to take it out)and then it goes to why did the police take his cell phone and wallet at the accident scene and not his keys.. And he had money in his pocket so it couldn't have been that they just wanted the valuables .., then it goes to and why would they give me a bag with his cut up clothes and shoes and stuff that wasn't even his from the accident .,, and what am I suppose to do with this bag I can't get rid of it and I can't open it... So this is how everything is with me.. Am I going loopy or is this normal.. I really try to keep my mind busy but it always happens ..is this normal or should I worry??

Thank for some insight.. Adrianne, I think I will read that., I just want to do what ever I can to have the chance to see him again... And i could not see having faith if god didnt take him in because of his unsureness,,, my husband is now reading all avenues and paths that may make him understand the whole picture and he was brought up catholic which of course makes me question things also ..,thank you again

I should clarify that it's not heaven I don't believe in. Regardless of what we call it, I believe God awaits us. Hell and the devil makes no sense.
Comment by Adrianne Edgerly on July 9, 2012 at 11:10pm
I read a lot and I had my beliefs before my son passed. I don't see God and the afterlife the way one would interpret the bible. So much was left out of the bible. I believe in God. I just don't think there's a heaven and a hell. Doesn't make any sense. God isn't going to throw his children in hell anymore than we would. I can and could and did forgive my son for anything. If I can forgive my God surely did. I believe as Dick does. The consciousness continues. A difficult to read (written many years ago in a flowery prose) is "through the mists" by James Lees. It's available as a free PDF online. I would urge you to read it. For me it was helpful.

Michelle, Have peace in knowing that your son is with God. I was raised Catholic & Baptist but have since coverted after losing my daughter last year. Your concerns are normal and I had the same concerns myself. A week before I lost my daughter we had a brief discussion on God, she asked me if I believed and I whole-heartedly said YES. I was felt a quiet disappoinment in myself when I felt compelled to ask her...I was disappointed that the question actually had to be asked. Her response was "I don't know, sometimes I do, but I'm not sure." Looking back and having other children to raise I KNOW this is one of my biggest errors. But I felt a strong urge to respond to your comment...God is merciful! The children that we miss sometimes intervene for us. Michelle, your son is on the other side...he may have believed more than you know. God has many names in different religions, but we have only ONE God, the same God. I truly believe God understands us and accepts us for our weaknesses, if our hearts are pure and if we truly have good intentions now and in the afterlife then all will be alright. Fear is feeding the devil...don't give him that power of your thoughts, please. God bless you, and I hope you have some peace.

Growing up I learned many things of the church and all religions but was never baptized.. My mother always said you would take the beliefs of you spouse.. Well my husband is catholic but we never pushed religion or beliefs on or kids...giving them the freedom to choose.. So my son was a great young adult only making the best decisions... But was not involved with the church ... So my question is will god take him in because if this is the case of course I would want to see him again.. And have great faith... But he didn't not beleive but he didn't beleive that I know of..., what do I do???
