It ain' t gonna get no better. Our 39 year old son took his life in our home on 10/15/10. Jason has been gone nine months Friday 7/15/11. It ain't gonna get no better. I can still hear the gun shot at 5:00 am, can still see his body with no head. Lord help us.
I
live in a family of stuffers, my mother in law lost her husband and father within three days of each other and I never saw her shed a tear. I have seen her cry a lot since Sarahs passing. I am referred to as the emotional one since my hysterectomy. I am compared to them. I went to the doctor yesterday and began crying in his office, my sister was with me and he told her you will never understand the trauma that she (me) is suffering. She is not only dealing with the loss of her daughter, she found her and that is the part that I am most worried about. He asked her to leave and came put his arms around me and said you cry, let it all out, any time any place.. If you dont it will consume you. I Love my doctor. He also suggested that I take a mild anti depressant, as I have high blood pressure and it was threw the roof.
Thanks Karen, I know there is no one that will ever love Sarah the way that I do, that we all love our children. I know that with time I will learn to cope better its all so new and fresh. This will forever be my cross to bear.
Fred when Sarah was cremated I purchased a cross that has her ashes in it. It rides on my windshield. I felt that was appropriate as Sarah was a long haul truck driver and had logged over a million miles by the age of 22. I wear her necklace everyday in each room of the house there is some part of her with me always and i wont let go. I cant its impossible. THANK YOU ALL FOR WRITTING ME I DONT KNOW WHERE I WOULD BE WITHOUT THIS GROUP
Sweet Melissa, I am so sorry for your pain, I can feel it. You are right, let go of what? You have had so many tremendous losses. I have no lost a parent or a sibling but I do know others who have and every single one of them has told me that the pain they felt after losing their child, is no comparison. When and if you are ready to spread your baby's ashes, I am sure you will. It will be your choice. For me, there will NEVER be a satisfactory answer as to why me losing my son is "OK". No matter what your child's age or circumstances that caused their passing, will never mend a broken heart. I think we just learn to survive day by day, it's such an emotional roller coaster ride. Our children had a life, they didn't begin as a memory or dream. It's hard for me to fathom that concept of someone or a higher being, loving or adoring my child more than me. I remember when I use to be happy, I took my happiness for granted and I always believed that my children would bury me.
Everyone thanks for listening.
