IM SO SORRY FOR YOU'RE LOSS.I LOST MY 28 YEAR OLD BELOVED SON ON 7/12/09. I MISS HIM EVERYDAY.IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY. YOUR IN MY PRAYERS. GOD BLESS YOU
My son had just turned 23, I know how you are feeling... every emotion you are having I too have and do feel constantly. It is so unreal.. Guilt can eat you alive. We make choices which we hope are helping our child and sometimes they don't work out the way we wanted them.. one thing you can never feel guilty about is your love for your son.. he knew it, hence being in your room when he passed. He knew you loved him... and Tommy knew I loved him. Sometimes I think they knew their time was short and the things they did were ways of coping with that. If you believe the bible, our days are predestined. I read Romans after Tommy passed... it helped. I read "The Shack" very good as well. I also studied many NDE's and Elizabeth Kuber Ross about death of a child. They helped as well. So sorry you are on this JOURNEY with us now... know we are here... we hurt for you and with you. Hugs. Shannon
dear bretts mom... my son, dusty also passed away on aug 29,2009 of a drug overdose. i am still struggling with his passing so much. i plan to start speaking to high school kids at churches about my story and the pain it causes parents when they are doing drugs.. i tried everything in my power humanly to help him(save him) but the addiction took over... many hugs to you and prayers. valerie
