Hi is anyone out there who can help, i lost my only son and not sure how to cope

Hello denyor,

I have found that writing(or in this case typing) has been known to work wonders.

Grieving is a process and if you provide us with more, we will be more than willing to provide support and advice.

It may be difficult, so I can understand if you are unable to do so; just know that we are here.

May I also suggest some type of counseling(group or individual)?

Take care.

Respectfully,

Phoenix

Deynor,
I am so sorry for your great loss. I can't even imagine the hollowness in your life that this loss must leave.
I saw your explanation of your sons death and I REALLY mean this from the bottom of my heart and soul, I thank your great son for his dedication and service to not only our country but to each and every American (even those who choose to be disrespectful) and those other nations who enjoy there freedoms they have today because of wonderful people like your son who serve in our military forces both now and in years past.
I know this is a grief sight but I couldn't leave this unsaid, because I have several familly members doing the same thing. I also give you, your husband, daughter in law, and grandson a heartfelt Thank you, first for you raising such a wonderful person, second for his son to carry on his name, and third postumously to your son for loving and believing in his country enough to honor it with his life.
As for grief I have & still do experience it for the loss of my brother87 (best friend) and my father06. And I still struggle with anger, fear and loss. But nothing that comes close to yours.
Please try and see if their is a Compassionate Friends group, (loss of child group), or any loss of child group , or even grief groups. Depending on the size of area where you live they maybe listed in the phone book, but a church, hospital, chamber of commerce, or even your local county Home Extension office has great resources, that many do not know about, please check in to this.
I do know those who have lost their only son, and I know that this group has helped them tremendously.

Again accept my heartfelt soulful thank you and when I say I will pray for you. Though I know at times like these it may be very hard to pray, because anger can be so strong & overwhelming in grief, but keep trying. And always remember there is NO time limit on grief and each person works through it differently. :angel:
Sincerely,
Alyson

it is the most awful thing to lose a child. my son died just over 2 years ago...28yo. kidney disease. so i can feel your pain. it's one foot infront of the other honey...i'm two years out and i can still cry at the drop of a hat.

i try to celebrate his memory as much as i can with my grandkids, and friends of his and mine, and keep the connection to him as much as possible.

god bless and keep writing. p

Hi

The brevity of your post explains it all. My only son 21was killed 03/13/08 and no-one can help but WE WILL get through it (so they say). No questions, answers or closure. It's very scary isn't it but at least we are still here. Other people seem to have seen the light and the tunnel and been able to walk through. I am sure we will too.

My heart is with you.
