Happy Birthday!!

Today is November 17, 2011 and my son would have turned 31!!  Wow....I wonder what kind of man he would have been......married??....children??...  I'll never know and can only dream.  That's all my thoughts can consist of anymore --- dreams and made up stories of how full my life would be if he was still here.  But instead, I am empty....  He died at the age of 22 on July 26th.  My life will never be the same.  I know events and things happen to change our lives every day but when you lose a child on the cusp of adulthood and you're ready to sit back and enjoy the rewards of all your hard work in raising him and in an instant it is all gone and a piece of you has died too.  I am alone and miss him.  Happy Birthday Josh!!

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
