I would like to thank all the members who responded to my previous post regarding the passing of my son. The number of people who offered their condolances and support far exceeded what I could have imagined. When I wrote the first post It was a moment of extreem grief. My son lived in another state along with any family I have. So I was alone going crazy. Hence I posted my loss. Again I want to thank you all.

There can’t be anything more devastating than outliving your child. That is the legacy that we are supposed to leave this poor old tired world. This is a phenomenal group of people with great insight and intelligence. Please rely on us for support. We are not meant to go through these things alone. Sometimes the best place to find compassion, empathy, support, and objectivity is from perfect strangers. I don’t know how old your son was, but rest assured he left his mark in this world, and that is what matters. Please do not hesitate to let this community support you through this difficult time. And there is no time limit for grieving and adjusting. One more suggestion. If you have a pet or pets, remember their love is unconditional. Their companionship is one of the most cathartic things you can seek. They are infinitely patient and never run out of love to give.

Thank You, He was 32

So sorry for your loss! Lessons I'm learning about mine (breakup, he's still alive) is 1. Don't go through this alone. 2. Find someone that can relate and listen to their stories (amazingly helpful). 3. Allow yourself to grieve as it seems only time will really make the pain go away. 4. Don't foget to breath and eat, it's strangely easy to do. 5. Groups like this are invaluable so don't hesitate to interact like you are, it is very therapeutic! This is an amazing group of compasionate caring people 🙂

Thank You

It's a long ,long road with no shorts Cuts .you have to just go through the grieving process. If I could help in any way let me know

Thank You, But there is no help

@steve148 in some ways you're absolutely right. Your grief is your own.no one could ever say they know how you feel ,we know the pain.

It's during times like this that I can almost understand the comfort it would bring to think that your lived one is in " a better place" such as a heaven, if such a place existed. For us who have no reason to believe in any life beyond this life the loss of a close loved one is particularly devestating. I remember when my dad passed my first thought was he is in a place where there is no suffering. Then I quicklyfelt that sinking feeling of , oh no, there is no place like that. Then again, he is not suffering any more and he lives on in the memories I have and in my DNA and his grandchildren DNA. In that sense there is life after death. Perhaps a little comfort for you to consider.

Thank you for your thoughts and words.
