My 22 year old son died suddenly of a "cardiac event" on May 2 of this year.. I understand what you're saying completely... I have another son 29 and one in his 40's and a daughter in her 20's and I'm always thinking who will be next and what will happen to them... no peace

Lynn, Thanks and  I cherish the friendships here. thank you for your message. In the midst of this mind numbing pain all I can say is that I am here anytime you want to talk about anything. Love and take care.

I'm so sorry you had to lose your daughter ... nothing worse has EVER happened to me than losing my son so suddenly and without warning... the bottom still drops out of my stomach every time I think about it, or write about it... but what can we do?  We have NO choice and that's probably part of the problem... we just have to TAKE it.... LIVE with it... in here we all can say how we feel... when we're devastated, or full of fear, or furious, or just empty and desolate... we can say it here... I can't say it anywhere else... so please never think you have to pretend in here... none of us have the strength to pretend everywhere.... hugs

Thanks Lyn for your kind message and friend request. Interesting that we are on such similar paths. Peace to you. Brightest blessings, Erica

Hi Lynn, Thank you for that, it is so heartbreaking, I am so sorry for the loss of you daughter, I was so stunned when I found our son, life has so many surprises. I just hope he knew how much he was loved, Namaste.

Thank you

Thank you. Right now the turning to call her, or the random thought that she is going to walk through my door are the thoughts that still surprise me. Which brings the heartache anew...

Hi Lynn

Thank you for your comment and words of support.  I am sorry for the loss of your daughter.  My son's 22nd birthday is August 13th and I'm dreading that day.  I guess I am still in shock over this.  Abel did not live with me so I don't have the every day reminders and find myself thinking that he is at home or work.  He spent a lot of time with my daughter and her BF so the last time they came over I expected Abe to walk in behind them and when he didn't I felt that heartbreak.  I'm just taking it day by day and trying to move on without him.  Some days are better than others.  I have 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters(2 of my girls and the Grandkids live with me) and I am trying to be strong for them.  The Grandkids keep me going most of all because they are young and so full of life and energy.  It helps to wake up to their beautiful smiles every morning.  I still have flashes from the hospital and the funeral that come through my mind and I find myself reliving those moments.  I just still cant believe this has happened.   I hope talking about it with others who have been there can help.  Thank you again for reaching out.  Hugs, Cyndii
