About my Loss:
i lost my 30 year old son 5 years ago and am still at times overwhelmed with his death. my husband at the time did not know how to support me. i just needed to talk, he didn't want to listen (not my son's dad) while i am not as deep in grief as i was the first couple of years
i at times feel the loss as fresh as when it happened. i suppose this is normal but it would be nice to have someone to talk to who could just say, i'm sorry and i understand

    Hi Connie and thanks for the kind and supportive words. I guess my husband just doesn't know how to provide long-term support and to be honest I don't know how to guide him. He gives me my space and allows me to grieve but it just seems at times that his actions, not words, show impatience with my continued grief. It's hard to explain...
    We should not outlive our children and when we do our whole world turns into chaos...I have never felt so alone and overwhelmed in my 53 years. Only another parent grieving parent can identify with our loss and provide words of comfort and empathy.
