Dick, Sounds like your Danny took as good of care of his health by trying to keep fit and his photos show such a handsome man.  I am soooo sorry that he had this heart attack and that you are so weighted with grief.  In past posts you talk about feeling guilt.... but I want you to know that it sounds like Danny had a wonderfully full life and kept his health as a priority..... You raised a nice young man..... I know we all wish we could have... should have... done things differently and wish we could bring them back....  but try not to blame yourself..... because all I see is a wonderful handsome young man that was taken from his family way too soon.... PEACE

Did the hospital give you indication of this? Was an autopsy performed?

Well, I think I have the answer to Danny's death explained in laymans terms.

Sorry to everyone that has been having some difficult days... Karen... I don't think even close family has been there for most holidays and his birthday has always been passed over.  My son had Autism and was almost rejected from most of my family even while he was alive.... I haven't expected anything from anyone... that is why it is so good to have this group to vent to.   My marriage has been in a deep depression for years and the death of my Niles has almost killed it totally. It seems as no one can understand that I am not wonder woman and I really need someone to prop me up and support me instead of assuming that I am Strong Enough for even this tital wave.   I think I have built walls to protect myself from these people who just do not understand this loss and devestation.  I do not expect anyone else to understand how we feel.... we really did not either until we were thrown into this pit.    PEACE

Thanks so much Rosie for your continued support.

Adrianne, I am sure that your Valentine's day will never be the same again, I am truly sorry. This is all just so hard.

Everyone, well I survived.......barely.  My son's birthday came and left. Sadly, I didn't find much comfort. My heart was further broken because more than half the people I expected did not come by : (   . I wept long and hard, I was so disappointed, not one of his friends came!!! Only a few close family members came. This hurts so bad, it's like they forgot about my son, I feel like they are all fake. His birthday and his life is not a priority to them I guess. He's just a memory to them!!!!!  My daughter tried to comfort me by saying that the few that came, is what matters and how we didnt need anyone to come.  I just feel devastated because many more came over for his last birthday. I don't know how I will react when I run into them. It's like I am angry and sad, all rolled up into one. I feel like,  how could they do this to their friend?! I am worried that this is how it will be from now on.  Hopefully I'll be back on soon, I have an excruciating headache, good night.

Hugs to you Karen,  on such a difficult day.  It will be good to see some of your son's dear friends and your family to honor his birthday.  Hope you find some peace today and feel his presence at the gathering.

I have never been able to relate to anyone I had met that lost their child. I felt sadness and horrific fear knowing it wasn't something I could endure. Yes, so many have. I don't understand.

It seems impossible that as parents we couldn't have saved our children. I guess somewhere along the growing up years I got that I wasn't his protector like I was when I could still make him hold my hand and look both ways before crossing the street. I just wasn't prepared to let go this way. I don't think any of us were. I hurt for you and all the others too.

Grandma sewing room

So I am almost done with cleaning my grandmas sewing room that wasn’t touched in 10 years because of all the mess, but now that she passed away 2 days ago, I don’t know if I should continue, I wanna finish what I started but I don’t know what to do, my grandpa is still alive and I don’t want to leave this burden on him.See More
