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.

my beautiful only child, my son

hi my name is kim, I lost my son noe 5 , I was taking him to the doctors and he left me in my van, I screamed and screamed for him to not leave me, it was his heart  he was only 40, I died that day to. I cry all day and night, without him I don't have anything to live for. im so empty and alone. I pray everynight to go with him.  the pain is unbearable, I cant go on with out my shawn. I don't want to go on. its like a very bad dream I just cant wake up from.

    just sitting here crying, wishing with all my heart for a hug, a kiss and phone call from shawn to hear him call me mom, my heart will never be the same, ever. I feel so alone so broken,  so very tired,

      I miss my shawn so much, the pain never goes away. his butterfly bush is his memory garden is so beautiful with flowers, they smell so wonderfull. I hope he can see it. I keep asking why am I still here, why has shawn not come to me, to take my hand so I can go with him. please let me hear  ( mom ) again, let me here  ( I love you ) his laugh his smile. where do all the tears come from, everyday and night. I keep telling myself he will call me soon I know he will . I know shawn would never ever leave me. I just want my suffering to stop, why does he not take me, I need my son without him I cant live or go on, hes my world, my love, my life.  I love you baby and miss you with everything I have.   forever mom

        Hi Kim.  I lost my beautiful son, age 25, to a drug overdose last month and I feel the same way you do.  My life stretches out before me so empty and desolate.  I feel like all the love I have for my son is pouring from my body like blood and without him here to absorb it, I will die.  He was my favorite person to spend time with and he was doing so well!  I can't believe that he could make this one mistake and now my life is in ruins.
