It helps to know that I am not alone
Hi Don,
I am so sorry. I also lost my son just recently in Oct 09 he was 27, his birthday was just coming up on Nov 25th. The pain is sometimes so unbearable so much so, that in order to cope I tell myself that it hasn’t really happened. I know this is probably not healthy, but just for a few minute I can feel somewhat normal again. Whatever normal is at this point.
He also left two girls and while they were not his biologically children he considered himself their father. However they don’t live close by and if I don’t make the effort to keep in touch by calling to let them know that I am still here for them, I know that because of the distance and their young age I might lose them also. I know that my son would not want this to happen, so even if I don’t have the strength right now, I know that keeping this bond is very important for all of us.
I want to thank you for taking the time to write about yourself, it helps to know that I am not alone.
