Lost Grandson

My 18 year old grandson had skateboarding accident followed by a series of seizures.  On February 16, while spending the night at a friend's home, he had a seizure and passed away.  It was a shock to all of us.  I guess none of us ever thought the seizures would take him from us.  I know he was a grandson and not my own child but we were extremely close and almost as if he was my own child.  Nothing has ever hit me like this has.  Can't seem to find any reason to still be here.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 3 year old granddaughter in May, then my mom in April, the grief is horrendous........when it is children, it feels like you will never heal. I know I am still going through horrible crying everyday, and miss them both so much. But I wake up every moring with a reason to go on. HUGS

Thank you so much.  I'm still doing the daily crying as well.  I do okay at work as long as no one discusses it.  However, when I come home I just want to go to bed.

I have been crying for 5 months everyday, there is no experation on grief, and losing a child or grandchild is the most painful thing a person can experience, then my mom 8 weeks later. each day I pray for God & mom & dad & my precious Olivia to give me strength to get through another day, also for the sake of my son for losing his daughter, this is not supposed to happen............:(
