I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL MY SON DIED ON THE 26 OF JANUARY AND I AM SO LOST, REALLY DO NOT WANT TO GO ON. HE WAS MY ONLY SON AND 1st BORN. MY SON WAS IN PRISON AND THEY FOUND HIM UNRESPONSIVE IN HIS CELL. I STILL DO. OT KNOW THE CAUSE OF DEATH. HE IS SUCH A LOVING, CARING, AND UNDERSTANDING PERSON JUST MAKE SOME BAD CHOICES. I HAVE SO MUCH GUILT AS I AM THE ONE WHO TURNED HIM IN AND I FEEL LIKE I SENT HIM TO HIS GRAVE. WE WERE SO CLOSE. I AM SO LOST, ANGRY AND HEART BROKE. MY PARENTS DIED A FEW YEARS AGO 10 DAYS APART. I TOOK CARE OF MY DAD TIL HE PASSED AND FOUND MY MOM 10 DAYS LATER. NEVER GOT OVER THAT AND NOW THIS. I DO NOT WANT TO BE HERE ANY MORE. THIS IS KILLING ME. I HAVE SHUT EVERYONE OUT.

Oh Kari, your comment just broke my heart. I don't (and pray I never do) know the pain of losing a child and I can't possibly imagine how lonely you must feel having suffered so much loss in your life. I am truly sorry but please don't give up. Don't allow this grief to become who you are and you can't blame yourself for turning him in. I believe that any good mother would do just that to make sure her child's life wasn't being thrown away. In my eyes, putting your foot down and not being an enabler is the greatest love. You showed your son that you were going to fight for him and that takes guts. I can't begin to know what you are feeling but I do know grief and I know how powerful it can be. Please reach out to people, talk to them, talk to me. You can message me anytime you like. Sending hugs your way. I'm glad you found this site, it's helped me a lot along my journey.

Shelley,

My 20 year old son was shot 8 months ago. You not selfish. My daughter and other family members are moving on too. My son girlfriend family took her on vacation twice since he been dead. I am mad that my son is not here to enjoy this life too.

If she ever moves and want the dog, let her have the dog. My son girlfriend took things like his TV from his room for their daughter. I have not missed "things" like I miss him asking me "what we eating or where are you Mama".
