On November 23, 2007 my grandson Andrew 2.5 years old. Who had lived with me and was my life went to the emergency room that day because the night before he had been throwing up all night. He stayed most of the day with his mom and his mom wanted to have him admitted and the hospital said no because they thought it was a stomach virus since other family members had been sick with it. She had only been home about 10 mi nutes and she said he made gurgling sounds and it scared her so she called 911 and told them to come to my house since I lived closer to the road.

I lost my grandson Braxton Tyler to SIDS when he was 7 weeks old. He passed on 12/21/03 and I still grieve to this day. I miss him just as much today and when he died. I wonder when will it get easier ?!? I dont talk about him much because people dont know how to handle a conversation such as a child who has passed. Most of the time I will just go to the cemetary and talk to him and cry - that seems to help me the most.

Since the 1960s, psychologists known as Thanatologists have given especial attention to the needs of the patients who know they are dying. The Thanatologists study and analyze the surroundings of persons who approach death. These psychologists also examine the inner experiences of such persons. These experts have identified many stages that these patients as well as their near and dear ones experience. The Thanatologists have identified the following stages of dying persons, viz., ?No, Not me!? (isolation and denial); ?Why me?? (anger, rage, Read the rest of this entry »

HEALING THE GRIEVING HEART
Grandparents Dealing with Grief
Host: Dr. Gloria Horsley
With guest: Barbara Weitzberg, LCSW
August 11, 2005
G: Hello. Im Dr. Gloria Horsley. Welcome to Healing the Grieving Heart. Todays topic is Grandparents Dealing with Grief. Ill have to admit that Ive had to do a lot of soul searching regarding this topic. When I think back 22 years, Ill have to say in the depths of my grief, my parents were not a priority for me. Our 17-year-old son, Scott, had died and my father had had a stroke and my mother was exhausted from taking care of him. You know, in fact, I didnt call my mother and tell her immediately when my son was killed, and a doctor who was a shirt-tail relative called her and said I guess you heard that your grandson was killed. When she expressed shock and dismay, the doctor hung up. I knew I should have called my parents but, you know, calling my parents or my siblings made it just all too real for me and too Read the rest of this entry »
