You may be lonely.. but you are not alone.. we are a community and a dysfunctional family but when/if you need support... we will be there.

My heartfelt condolences... I missed the previous post.

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.

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

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

I missed the first post, and would like to extend my sympathies to you as well, father to father. May you find all you need going forward.

Never saw any post about it but the toughest thing to go through is the loss of a child. My heart goes out to you.

I missed your post, I had just started a job out of town when my mother passed. It's heart and gut wrenching not being able to do anything. I am sorry for what you are going through. hugs.

You're welcome. Always here if needed. Hope you're taking care of yourself.

I'm sorry for your loss, I missed the first post but we're all here for you. If you need to talk feel free to get in touch

I didn't see the post. My thoughts are with you.

That is why we are here for each other !

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.

I missed your first post so I would like to say here that I’m sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you must be going through. I don’t know how I would handle loosing my son. You have my sincere condolences.

I am so sorry for your loss.
