I never had a son so I don't know what to say about that but I still grieve over my mother who passed 2 years ago. I went to the library and asked the librarian on books about grieving. You might find some help there. I know I sure did. I don't know where you are with grieving now, but a good book I picked up is called The Right Words at the Right Time Vol. 2 by Marlo Thomas has been a g-r-e-a-t read.

I do not know if you believe in GODS WORD, If so the Bible says that absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I find comfort in these words, Iost my very young mom a few months ago. Ask God to give you peace. The peace of God surpasses all understanding. Although I miss my mom greatly his word sustains me in that I know without a shadow of a dout that my mom is ok, she is with him and I will see her agian.

My dad and I lost my sister on November 28, 2009 in a tragic accident. My dad never got over my mom passing away 20 years ago and I don't know that he will get over my sister passing away. What I can tell you is that though you don't ever get over it, you learn to cope with the feeling of emptyness. You will have your good and bad days and there is nothing wrong with that. If you have time, read the three messages I have posted. I think the last of the three will help you the most, or at least I hope that it does. Be strong.
