Thank you so much Michele. I'm still trying to figure out this website and it was so nice to get your reply. Right now we feel so alone and overwhelmed. I don't even have the energy left today to say anything but that I am grateful for the support of all of you who know this terrible grief and wish you all some peaceful moments when your child's spirit surrounds you.

Dear Michele,

I lost my daughter four months ago in a freak car accident.  She was 26 and my comfort too.  I started going to see a bereavement counselor a few weeks after her death and continue to go every week. I also joined a grief group for mothers who lost a child once a month. It is run by the same counselor.  This has helped me a lot and I would reccommend you to look into seeing someone.  This is the hardest event to live through. I have another daughter who is 23 and two step sons with families.Everyone lives so far from us and that is very hard for me.  We spent christmas in New Mexico with one of my stepsons and my daughter came down too.  I live in Vermont and the frigid gray winter is not helping my mood. Peace and hugs.

Michele,

I feel the same way. I can not save my daughter's or anyone else. It is no fun without my son. I too teased him about taking care of me. My son told me he would. Now, look at me. Lost!
