- About Me:
- I am a single mother of 2 boys. It has always just been the 3 of us. We are a very close family and do everything together.
- About my Loss:
- I lost my 17 year old son, Tyler Lane Budro, on March 10,2013 to an unknown illness. He was 17 years old and a junior at Hull Daisetta High School. He was sent home from school sick on Tuesday February 19 and went to the doctor that day. They did a test mono and gave him antibiotics. The next day he wasn't any better so he was taken to the doctor again. He received an antibiotic shot and more medicine. On the next day, Thursday, he felt better and ate really good. Friday, February 22, his girlfriend came to check on him and she left him at 1:45 and my dad came home at 4 and found him on the floor. He had been having seizures and was not responsive. He was taken to the ER in Beaumont, TX and was transferred to Pediatric ICU at Memorial Herman hospital in Houston. They were not able to stop him from having seizures and he was put into a medical induced coma to slow down brain activity. Most of his skull was removed to allow room for his brain to swell. They ran test after test to try and find out what was wrong with him, but the only thing he ever tested positive for was mono. After 16 days in ICU we lost him on March 10, 2013, the day before his brothers 16th birthday. It took 10 months before the autopsy was completed and another month to get the report, but they still didn't find anything.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?
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
"Hi Rosa,
First, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Losing someone you love only two days ago is incredibly painful, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling unsure about what to do right now.
Personally, I don’t…"

I'm so sorry Janie... we lost our son suddenly and unexpectedly last May... he was restless all night, but not feverish but was having some mild respiratory distress but this wasn't unusual for him, as we had just come to the beach and changes of environment did usually trigger these issues.... he was severely physically disabled and had always had problems with his lungs, immature development due to a premature birth...but in recent years these issues had improved... but nevertheless, that morning, he seemed sleepier than usual, but since he couldn't speak but a few words that only we understood, he couldn't really tell me what was going on... I settled him down to snooze a bit while I went out to the other room to fix his tube feeding, and asked his dad to check him out... his dad spent a few minutes with him, where he turned him on his side, put his iPad in view with his music on, and he said Brandon looked at the iPad, reached for it, smiled, closed his eyes and went back to sleep... but when I went in a few minutes later he was gone... just like that... we didn't have an autopsy because we just couldn't face any more cutting up.. he had had more than his share over the years... so we don't know what killed him either.... now I guess I wish we had found out, because the whole thing haunts us along with the devastation of losing him.... my heart goes out to you Janie.... I've never faced anything so painful and heart wrenching as losing my son.... and so suddenly, and with no real warning.... there's just no way to lose your child that doesn't take you with it..... this place has been a Godsend to me because the people in here KNOW what I mean and they never put me down for my emotions and my feelings that otherwise I would just have to pretty much keep to myself.. others just either don't get it, don't WANT to get it, or just basically have no clue what this is like... I'm glad in many ways that most people DON'T get it.... I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy..... there are a few sunny days when I actually find myself smiling now, but I'll never be 'ME' again..... always my heart remembers and is broken beyond repair.....
