Lost my son.
#46
I know how this tears your heart out, we lost 2 of our grandkids 9 years ago in a home invasion when they were murdered, Cody 6 and sister Chelbi 8. It's so hard sometimes but I try to remember all the fun we shared during their short time with us and treasure the time I get to spend with Courtney who was 10 at the time (19 now) which was stabbed 6 time,but is fine now. It takes a long time to start to heal but we talk about them all the time and it does help sometimes. I hope your pain eases and your family can find peace, my heart goes out to you and your family and you are in my prayers.

Ditto What Pete said!
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss and your pain.
When I was 17 a freind was driving his bronco (with top off), me in passenger seat my brother and friends brother in the back seat, nobody wearing seatbealts. he took a mountain road (corner) too fast and we went off the ditch and flipped end for end at about 50mph. somehow 3 of us escaped with only scratches and bruises, friends brother broke his pelvis from cab of truck, but we were all very lucky that day. (only reason I bring this up is any of us are only here for a short while and that event in my life made me realize it)

You have joined that group of us who have lost a child. We lost our 15 year old daughter 20 years ago. There will be days when you are hardly able to function, but it does eventually get better. Part of it is that there are simply others that need you and you have to put one foot in front of the other and figure out how to move ahead.
Some day you will even have a day when you don't think about your son and when you look back you will feel guilty, but that is part of the healing. After 20 years there are still days when it hurts bad to not have our daughter, but most of the time we remember the great times we had while she was with us.
My heart and prayers go out to you.

The Fordman house is extremely sorry for your loss.
Times like these, it is good to know you have a true friend. In your case you have a whole forum of us reaching across the world. Take what little bit of comfort you can from that as I am sure comfort is few and far between right now.
If you ever need someone to listen...drop me a PM.
