Hi Lori, sorry to hear that you lost your son,even though my son went to Heaven on 11/18/11 I still miss him very much, He was my youngest and we shared a lot together. I do have an older son who I depend on. I was just looking at this person kathi Wright and this is what happened to my son, he died of a pain medication which the Doctors gave him. The same medication that your son died from, I also want my son back, but know the only way  is to meet him   someday in Heaven. Doctors get rich and we suffer with our loss. I will pray for your son and that you find peace in your life. Take care of your daughter and treasure her with all your heart.

My son died at the age of 24. I am furious with the doctors because he had been complaining for MONTHS about not feeling well, weakness, chest pain (all of which I found out after he died were side effects of the medication they had him on).  He was at my Mom's house and was fine one second and dead the next.  He was healthy and the autopsy showed NO reason that he should have died.  The coroner said it was most likely a interaction between 2 meds (anitdepressants) that caused his heart to just stop.  Just like you I don't know how I am going to survive this.  It has been almost 18 months and I can't function.  I just want my son back and I want the doctors to admit that they screwed up and because they ignored my son's complaints he is dead.  But I know that will never happen.  I am glad that you are finally able to get a headstone for you son, that is important.  I had my son cremated and still have his ashes, I cannot bring myself to bury them.

Thank you Lori and will be thinking of you!

If anyone is interested Here is a link to my blog concerning the fund raising for my son's memorial scholarship and the bike ride I have coming up.  While I'm on the road that will likely be the only writing I do.  http://for-andy-with-love.blogspot.com/?view=classic

Lori... you have no idea or maybe you do...what it means to me to have someone talk to me and tell me about how they feel or the experiences  they have with their children.   Your son looks very sweet just like my Tommy was.   All I can say is ...it it is really better there.... I am happy they are there together... I would want my son to always have the best in this life and if this is not be best then I am happy for him...   We have so much more pain in our lives to live through and they are done with it.    You know... your son was in pain.  And strangly so was mine just in a different way.   I have seen so many young men taken away who were in some sort of pain.... maybe it is Gods mercy that takes them away from more on this earth.   I would never want my son to live through the loss of a child like we have.    The love we feel for them is so incredible, and protecting them is impossible.   God bless you and know... we will see them again... I feel I will have so many new friends there just through knowing  this pain.    We will be kindred spirits...

Hi Lori, I'm so sorry for the loss of your son.  I wish I had more encouraging words to give but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to read about the loss of your son. I lost my son 11-18-10 from an aortic anneurysm. This is such a sad journey and to me, that first year was really tough. The group is great therapy. I have also found a group of bereaved parents and that really helps. Take care and remember ....you'll take this lonely journey " moment by moment ". Words really can't console your pain but you do know that each and everyone on this site has lost at least one child and we've all experienced that numb happless feeling. Good luck !
