Vivian,  You have my heartfelt sympathy.  No one knows the pain of lossing a child unless they have been also lost a child.  I have experienced that same pain of people not understanding what you are going through every minute.  My son Marty died in a hospital after what the dr said was a routine aortic valve replacement.  He was 34 and healthy. My life is upside down as I know your life is too.  Was his death because of being misdiagnosed by the dr.? I attend a group called Compassionate Friends. Everyone in this group has lost a child.  It's a group that no one ever wants to be  a member of, but thank goodness they are there.  I don't know where I would be today if I didn't attend these meetings.  The folks in this group have become my dearest friends and family.  They have been there for me through birthdays, holidays and everyday that I have needed a friend who really understands. They have chapters all over the US.  I am grateful I have a wonderful husband that is grieving with me.  He was a great daddy to Marty and is in pain just like me.  I wish you peace as you continue to live without your son.  Please contact me anytime.

Hugs,

Becky Loflin
