I guess we never stop grieving
From Debra –
I have not lost a son, but I did lose my dad on August 27, 2006, two days after my birthday. I did not just loose a dad, my mom lost a husband of almost 60 years, everybody lost. My dad went to take a nap like he had normally did for over 40 years before he went back out to work. My mother went to wake him up and he was gone. He had not been sleep for more than a hour. He died from a massive heart attack.
I know it is not the same pain, but I can understand both of your statements. Losing a child is the worse pain in the world because we dont expect our children to go before us.
I lost a daughter but she was 8 months old, I lost two brothers through violence, I have a son who was slapped so severly at 3 months old that he suffers from traumatic brain injury and he is now 26 and lives in a group home.
I will pray that god wraps his loving arms around both of you because death is something I never wanted to or thought I would be talking about. When my dad died, it took me forever to go see his tombstone. My mother still has not seen it and it has been 3 years. I have a dvd of the whole funeral but I dont want to watch it and I dont know If I ever will. i guess we never stop grieving.
God bless both of you and I will keep you in my prayers.
Debra
