- About my Loss:
- My son was brutally stabbed leaving work 8/5/14. He survived emergency surgery but the damage was too much... he died many hours later in our arms on 8/6/14 He would have been 26 8/10/14.
We found out he was an abused husband in Dec. In Jan children's services got involved and took my grandson. We become his foster parents in April. My grandson is only 2 and doesn't understand. He asks everyday for daddy... it breaks my heart.
The day they took my grandson... we had just left my SIL's funeral (she was 40 and died in he sleep). We were going to family's house when police called us and said we had to come right away because children's services was waiting to take my grandson.

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
