My 14 year old son shot himself in the head

on July 31, of last year.  I have such an urgent need to hear or feel from him.  I miss him so much and am glad to have found a place where others are going through the same mourning and loss.  I take it that it never gets better.  I just wanted to say hello, I am feeling hollow inside and can't write at this moment but wanted to say hello.

You are feeling and thinking the exact things that I am. You are doing the exact things that I am doing.. I am having a "Birthday party" for my son on September 12th.. his birthday, too.
I can help you feel better if you will listen to me.. I am doing it and it is working.It is true that everyones grief is different and it is true that we all have to go through it in our own time and in our own way... but your brain is searching for something to make it feel better, thats where are the crazy thoughts and behaviors come from... you arent going crazy, your emotions are, once you accept that you can find the rest of the answers on your own and I can tell you how if you will let me... you dont need to live like this... there is a solution to your pain and it has nothing to do with forgetting your son or god or what anyone else thinks or feels.. all it has to do with is you.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
