It's been just over 2 weeks since my son passed. It's 3:00 AM. These days my sleep is very intermittent. For the first time in my life I'm in touch with my own mortality. I've asked myself the age old question thats been asked since we've populated this planet. What is the meaning of life? Perhaps the answer is to just get through it the best we can. I'll not post on this subject again. Thanks for listening.
I find it hard to say"sorry for your loss" you haven't "lost" anything. Your son is probably very much alive in your memory the times you shared and the times you laughed will never be "dead" I'm writing to you because I too have a missing person gone 10 years now. I still laugh at the same silly things an even comment to him sometimes. I'm not crazy. I just believe that energy once present can not and is not destroyed.I would be happy to listen anytime....Peace...oh yeah you are set at 78% according to this rating scale
Thank You
ouch. can't imagine the hurt. I know a few people who outlived their kids . seems to reek havoc. hope you're strong
Thank You
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine. Hugs
Thank You
I'm so sorry for your loss. The days ahead will be troubling but each day you get through is a tribute to your strength. Sleep comes difficult for many reasons for many people and you certainly have reason to have trouble sleeping. Some practical tips for getting sleep would be to cut caffeine after a certain hour, drink plenty of water during the day, and at bed make sure your room is quiet, dark and listen to your breathing. I hope this helps in any way.
Thank You
Life has whatever meaning you ascribe to it, Steve. Losing your child violates the "natural order" of things, which is especially devastating to the parent. I don't know the circumstances of your son's death (and I use that word because "passing" implies moving on to some other place, a particular place none of us believes exists), but I'm a parent too and can only imagine what you must be going through. I think I speak for many here when I say feel free to lean on us. Feel free to post all you want about this if it helps you to talk about it. The only advice I can give you is to cherish every memory you have of your son and live YOUR one and only life. I sincerely hope this helps.
Thank You
I am so sorry your son passed. We should NEVER lose our children (or grandchildren). They should outlive us. I can't imagine how difficult this must be. I lost my mom a little over a year ago, and dad over 10-years ago and I still feel the pain. To lose a child must be much worse. I only wish I could offer positive advice or consolation.
Thank You
Hope you are taking care of yourself Steve.
