I know the pain caused from this loss all too well. My son was 7 months old. I'm a trauma nurse in the ER and was working that day. Kyle was at the babysitter's. We got a call that there was a 7 month old male inbound, CPR in progress. Had no idea who it would end up being. Paramedics arrived with him on the stretcher and when they got him to the trauma bay (where I was) and transferred him onto our stretcher and they moved so we could take over I saw it was my son. He was pronounced just a few minutes later. I only remember bits and pieces from that point on for the next several days. Pain I would not wish on anyone. Never has gotten easier. Just sort of learned to live with that pain. Miss him every second of every day with every fiber of my being.
So sorry to hear. We just lost our 2 1/2 year old son a few weeks ago. We took him in to get checked for a stomach virus or flu and he went into cardiac arrest while being treated by the doctor and nurse. He had never been sick in his life and only had some nausea and a really slight fever before we brought him to get checked. We still don't know COD. He was sitting up in the bed drinking, eating candies and telling me about a cartoon on the TV just a little more than an hour before it happened.

Yeah, she ended up divorced and lost custody of her 3 kids bc of the alcoholism. One of the things I do recall from that day is when she arrived at the ER. I was holding him and she knelt in front of me and just bawled. I've required lots of counseling bc of his death. Lots. I attempted suicide about 5 months after he died on what would have been his 1st birthday. I'm sort of ashamed to admit that but it was just too much to handle at that time. He died September 1st and my then husband and I would have celebrated a wedding anniversary on September 2nd. Not surprisingly, he and I ended up divorcing. It's extremely common in couples who experience the death of a child.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how empty those words feel, though, after suffering trauma like that. My mistake was holding it in. I wouldn't let myself really grieve bc that meant I had to feel the pain. Sort of locked it away and in a way pretended it didn't happen if that makes any sense at all. I can't really explain it. Let yourself grieve. Scream, shout, tear shite up..whatever you need to do to just try to let it out. I tried to go around the pain, over the pain, under the pain..anything not to go thru the pain and doing that had years of ramifications. If you ever need to talk, you can email me at CarolinaBelle71@gmail. I absolutely found that the only ppl that were truly able to help me were other parents who had suffered the loss of a child as well. The support group Compassionate Friends was what saved my life. It's nationwide and made up of other parents like us. Please take care and I am here if you need me.

I feel horrible for you and her. It’s amazing how in one split second so many lives can be forever changed.

June 16, 1997.
There was a blowout on the rig I was working on. The explosion killed four of my coworkers. If it would have happened 2 minutes sooner none of us would have survived.

Walked in my son’s room when he was 6 months old. He was in his crib,his lips were blue, and he wasn’t breathing. My wife came in and went hysterical. I picked him up and shook him. He finally came to. If we hadn’t walked in when we did he’d probably been. SIDS victim.

Just a few months after the incident with my son, one of my best friend's in high school son died from SIDS at the daycare he stayed. Even though it didn't happen to us I feel your pain. I say that but I have my son who is now 21 and a junior Honor Student at Mississippi State majoring in Computer Engineering. He ended up being 6'4, 310 pounds and an All-Region Offensive Tackle for two years in High School, as well as class Valedictorian. I thank God every day I walked into his room at that time that day. i don't know why I did, because most times after laying him down I wouldn't have, but something told me to.

F3 tornado in my truck, down a road surrounded by trees falling on both sides.
A tree hit the bed of my truck and stopped me from being able to go further. I was trying to get home to my parents house.
It lasted 30 seconds but I thought I was going to die. After it was over my little bro who was with me and who I had fought with my entire life to that point looked at me and said "love you bro." We haven't fought much if at all since that day.

Goodness, after reading through this thread, I no longer even feel fit to share anything. My life feels insignificant all of a sudden. Some of the responses really got me over here crying. I can't imagine some of the pain some of you are feeling and even still feeling.

Towing a 31' cat boat in fog going 50 mph and the trailer came unhitched. Boat fish tailed 6 times before I got it under control. Thank God for chains and F250 trucks. If it wasn't for the heavy vehicle I would have surely lost control and if it weren't for chains I would have killed someone else. Near Miss. Bothers me to think about it to this day.

My mom and stepdad were staying with me while building their new house. We just finished dinner and he tells me that he has heartburn, so I give him some Tums and go lay down. I wake up an hour later to my mom hysterical, saying he's not breathing, so I run to the kitchen to find him on the floor unconscious. He had a major heart attack. We don't know how long he had been there because my mom dozed off on the couch, but I did cpr and they got a pulse, but it had been too long and he was brain dead. He died about a week later. I still have nightmares about the look on his face because his eyes were open while I was doing cpr. It's been a year and I still see him Everytime I go in the kitchen.

My dad and his friend and I went duck hunting when I was probably 18 or 19. Going across the middle of a wide river in a flat bottom early in the morning dark. My dads friend says, "we are taking on water" in the boat. I looked back and his mountain dew bottle is floating around in the bottom of the boat. He guns the engine to make it to shore as we are slowly starting to sink. My dad and I were hustling to take off waders. Had we had to swim when the temperature was probably in the 20s, I don't think we would have made it long. We were fortunate to make it back to shore just before the boat totally sunk. A stick had gotten stuck between the prop and the boat and was pushing water in the back of the boat. Was truly terrifying that we almost had to swim for our lives.

Sometimes experiences in life change your whole perspective of what's this whole thing (life) about.

One time me and my buddy were driving and he wanted me to pull over to show me a scary face. Pretty scary.

What an emotional Rollercoaster this thread turned out to be.

What is the most terrified you have ever been?
My submarine was conducting a nuclear power plant emergency shutdown drill when we started taking on water.
We weren’t very deep because we were snorkeling. Turns out guy running the trim pumps sent water to the wrong tank and overfilled it. For about 3mins we had no idea why sea water was gushing out of the ac vents throughout the ship. It was hairy but our very experienced chiefs identified the issue and also helped minimize the damage to equipment.
