So sorry to find another mother who has lost her son like this...I lost my 22 year old son Brandon unexpectedly on May 2 2013...he woke up in the AM but was still so sleepy I left him to wake up and went to fix his breakfast...when I came back a few minutes later he had died...nothing could bring him back...coming to this room has helped me talk about it just a little bit and its the ONLY place where I can talk about it really...say anything I'm thinking or feeling...nobody here tells me what to say or think...and everybody knows what I'm talking about...the worst thing that can happen to a mother...ever...please let us be there for you too...all we can do is listen and offer you hugs of understanding...but we DO know what you are going through ....I am SO sorry....
