Markus most wonderful boy. How my life has been filled with so much joy because of you. And now so much sadness at losing you. I love you forever, my only son.

Yes, that "soul connection" is so precious. It keeps Jack close to me and helps me to be able to go on in light of what has happened. My circle of friends has changed also and I'm most comfortable with people who are more spiritual and who really think and care about deep issues of life. Haven't found anyone who's lost a child, but luckily know many who try to put themselves in my shoes and try to relate to what's going on with me that way. I still may try to go to a grief support meeting for people who've lost a child; I tried one earlier for people who'd lost a loved one and was the only one who'd lost a child and in some ways felt I didn't fit with the group. I'm thinking about you, Bethany, and God's blessings to you and yours.
Hi Bethany-I lost my oldest son on December 28, 2008. He had just turned twenty. He was the most wonderful person-beautiful inside and out and I miss him every day. We try to live each day the best we can, but some days it's a lot harder than others. The first year, I was totally numb and in a daze and the second year I spent hours and hours trying to figure out life and how it happened that ours had been turned upside down by the reckless actions of someone else. Somedays I want to shut myself off from everyone, and other days I reach out to people. Somedays I get upset that our friends have moved on, and other days I understand it's natural for them to. It's still hard, real hard even after more than two years - how could it be otherwise? We love these kids with every fiber of our being, and they're not with us. I take comfort somedays that Jack will always be in my heart, but other days that's not enough because I want to see him, talk to him, laugh with him, hug him, scratch his back, cook for him and listen to him. I'm grateful that I feel him with me, and I know God is with me helping me learn to live again. I pray for you and for all of us on this site, that we can find peace and a new type of happiness for our remaining time on earth.
Hi Bethany -I lost my only child, Tyler, at age 24 on 01/26/10. He wasn't married and had no children. His passing took every hope and dream for the future that I ever had. I often wished his girlfriend would come to me and tell me she was pregnant. I don't know how I would have survived if she had and then lost the baby. My heart and prayers go out to you - we will both walk the same trail of tears for the rest of our lives.
My Son also passed a little over a year ago, We will never forget or ever stop loving them, It is such an unbelievable thing to happen to a parent, the Loss Of A Child.... Forever in our hearts, in our thoughts and Loved.

Hi Bethany, I am writing to other parents on here to see if they would write to let it all out, all the feelings you are going through, to vent, whatever you want to write about, I love the picture of Markus, very handsome. I hate that we all are here because of the loss of our children,. it just seems so unfair, but we are not alone, even thought it feels like we are.
XOXO

I am so sorry for your loss, for the second time. How wonderful the thought of our sons having a child, so we could hold them and see him in their face. I like you will never have this. God has a plan for all of us, we just need to have faith in his decisions, may he bless you, and watch over you as Markus is!
