re: Have any of you had a child die ?

Sorry for your loss man. The pain will never go away, just one of the cruel aspects of human existence.

My brother shot himself at his mother's house, she found him in the bathtub. He was her only child. It was hard for me and my parents to go through, and still is, but the thought of her finding him still makes me physically ill.

ETA: just so my post isn't too depressing, going through something like that makes you hold on that much tighter to the people you still have. The best way to honor those we lost is to be strong and come together in their absence
