My son was only 31 when he died in a car accident. The circumstances leading to the accident is very bothersome. My son was married to a controlling, conniving, heartless woman. This woman made my sons life miserable and he wanted out of the marriage and filed for a divorce. He found a place to rent and was looking forward to starting over. His wife was having an affair and on the night my son died she text him and was telling him she and her lover were together and making plans for the next day. They wanted to go canoeing and she asked my son if they could use his canoe. This angered my son and he drove to see her and get his canoe. There was a confrontation with his wife and boyfriend (which was my sons cousin). My son left in anger and lost control of his vehicle and rolled the vehicle over several times with result of him being thrown out with vehicle landing on to of him. He was declared deceased at the scene. Meanwhile his wife and boyfriend walk to accident site and casually asked "is that Josh" and was told yes. Her new boyfriend and her then went out to a local bar and drank. There are pictures of her sitting on her boyfriends lap. When arrangements were made with funeral director she came to my home and while the funeral director was asking questions she was texting her boyfriend. I feel that they were happy that my son was gone.
I am having a hard time not only dealing with my sons death but the anger I feel for my sons wife. Nobody knows how badly I feel.

My son and my baby died on March 1, 2010, at the hands of an evil woman, who was giving him her pills that he was addicted to. I begged her 3 times not to give my son her pills, because he was trying to get help, and he was weak. Not only did she lure him and give him her pills but she watched him die, texting people, telling them he was dying, but never calling 911. He smothered, like he was drowning, for hours and hours. Can you imagine smothering and not being able to help yourself? Yet she is allowed to walk free. Nothing has been done to her. The coroner told me there was plenty of time to save him, and that he could have been saved so easily. I do not want to go anywhere, I am afraid of what I might do if I see her, we live in a small community, also I just don't care about doing anything, nothing is important anymore. I'm not the same person, part of me has died too. I go to bed thinking of my son and I wake up with him on my mind. My heart aches for him, most days I think I might die of a broken heart. Everyone thinks, I should be better, only the reality of my son never coming back makes it worse. I did find serveral video's on youtube very soothing, and helpful in my grieving. Go to youtube and type in the search, Perry Stone life after death, there are several ministers who have been where we are, and their experiences seemed to give me some peace, they have a way of explaining the why's that we all ask. Hugs and prayers to you. May God bless you and keep you. Truly, Cheryl
