I am an educator and was the Vice Principal of a well known school in New Bombay, India.Divorced.
About my Loss:
I lost my only child, my son on December-23rd,2011 in a road accident in Dubai. He was the light of my life, always kind, gentle, funny and like his friends over the globe say a 'hottie' in prime physical health and always ready to lend a helping hand.Being a single parent, I really have no idea of how to live without his daily dose of affection and love in my life.
Vasanthi, thank you. My heart is with you as well.
Sometimes I just can't believe I'm on this site and that my Michael is gone. It is such a hard reality. I totally understand when you say you don't know how to live without him. My last words to my Michael were "If anything happens to you or your sister I will never be able to breathe again." Well....I can't breathe.
Our sons sound the same. My Michael looked like a tough guy and maybe sometimes he was, but he had a heart of gold. His friends are still calling me. Sometimes it tires me but at the same time it lets me know others loved him.
Vasanthi, for you it has to be harder for he was your only child. right now I'm trying to live for my daughter.
I'm not sure how to handle this or how I'm going to overcome it but if you want I will walk down this road with you.
Vasanthi
I am a teacher and placed on Administration leave before I loss mt only son. My son was shot. Now I am still fighting fir my job and unreasonable thought of my son gone. I am going on interviews and no good job offers. I had one washing dishes and security officer. I took it. I feel shame nothing else. I will not be able to pay utilities with that. Now I am in pain mental every day
Dear Vasanthi
Yes stolen is the word. I understand how hard it is as my son was my only child as well. And although I try to stay in the moment for fear of going crazy I mourn our future also. No more children or grandchildren or accomplishments to help with with or be proud of. But his spirit is strong and our love will always remain. The house is very empty. today he would have graduated high school and it is hard. Just hard to be without them and find the strength to go on with our own lives that are forever changed. I am so sorry for your sorrow and loss.
What wonderful photos...I pour over our photos of our Brandon and try to go back to those times when he was here with us...I don't want to forget ANY of the wonderful times...I want to feel my son around me through the photos, or through ANYTHING that reminds me of him and our lives together...when we play the music he loved, I can cry for him, but also I can SENSE his pleasure that we haven't stopped playing the music that breaks our hearts, but at the same time brings him closer to us again...I pray you find ways to bring your son close to you every day, every minute...in those dark times that descend upon us...with me they just pop up all of a sudden and flatten me ...a way to hold on to them...their memory...their presence even now...they CAN'T be gone....just away....
Thank you for your message. I'm not doing Well. Feel depressed and broken. I miss my mother terribly. Weep for her, ache for her. She was a wonderful person, a good soul, kind, pure hearted, compassionate, a great mom. Yet both Life and God were not kind to her. The pain and suffering she endured haunts me. I just want her back. She did'nt deserve all the diseases, pain and other injustices life doled out to her. Unke saath accha nahin hua . I just don't know how to make peace with the fact that she's gone. Apart from that how do I make peace with the fact that she suffered so much in her final days and months???
Hope you are feeling better. Please take care and take it easy. If there's anything I can do please let me know. I would like to private message you but don't know how. Please take care.
Thank you vasanthi I did reply to your message but it disappeared some how. I guess it is going to take me a while to learn how to navigate this site! I am so very sad at the moment and not really up to writing but I thank you for your welcome and I am also sorry for the loss of your beloved son
Oh Vasanthi, he is such a beautiful man, for sure a "hottie". Those are some very nice pictures. I'm so very sorry for your loss. He looks like a fantastic son. I am glad you are getting your drivers license so you can get out. I understand completely about not wanting to be around the college kids. I lost my precious Randy to drugs only 10 weeks ago and I cannot stand to drive down the street where the high school is or see any of the high school kids, or little blonde boys either. My heart goes out to you. Hugs
Vasanthi, I am thinking of you especially today on your birthday. My son passed four days before my birthday, so it was a haze. I can't imagine spending birthdays without him, so I imagine this is a sad for you. It seems wrong to say happy birthday to those in our club, but I wish you some peace today. I know your son is with you too.
