Loss of a Child


short time on earth**forever in our hearts

I am 38 years old and I lost my 21 yr old son on Sept 13, 2009** He was in a car accident and my heart steadily aches everyday for him. I was so proud of him.... He was the first in our family to get a degree and I just knew that he was well on his way to be a productive young man in this rough world.. I was there to make sure he did not make the same mistakes that I did in life. I never questioned why he was taken from me and my parents but I know that the Lord does not make mistakes...this is the hardest thing that I ever had to deal with in my life**** I have lost loved ones before, but this is the ultimate***I now know what a broken heart feels like ** I know that I have to go on for my other 2 kids, but times I felt like just crawling und a rock**I would have went in his place it I had a choice.... I miss him and I love him so much***it is very hard**Life is strange because when I look back , it was almost like he knew that he was going soon, and he did get to say goodbye to the most important people in his life........

I am so sorry for your loss. Your story really touched me because I am 39 and lost my 18yr old daughter to a brain aneurysm on June 22nd this year. I also have two other kids. It's something because my daughter was able to say goodbye to a bunch of relatives as well. Meah was also saying and asking strange questions that I reflect on now. this is the hardest thing ever because I miss my baby so much. It's really nice to know that I am not in this alone and that others share our pain. this is the worst hurt I have ever experienced and it's only by the grace of God that I am able to carry on. God Bless You and your family!!!!
