Haze, overwhelming grief is disorienting and exhausting. Take care of yourself and don’t make any big decisions unless you have to. An author named Alan Wolfelt wrote some good books on grief. They are short and give practical ideas of what to expect and what to do/not do. Most of all, let it out when it comes. You can’t run from what’s inside you and letting grief out takes away its power.

I didn't respond, but your post really did make me think. All we can do is play the hand we're dealt. Your boy figured that out.

And of course you have my condolences and my prayers.

Take care man. Would love to see you at a local church and getting looked after routinely by that church family.

There is nothing more important than family. You will see your son again, I'm sure of that.

If you're a dad and this doesn't hit you in some form, then you're a sociopath.

I missed your original post buddy. I hope you are trying to at least deal with this loss. The first year is beyond words difficult but it does get a little better after that first year because you aren’t thinking “I was doing this with my child on this date last year”. My best advice is to try and get through 365 days and support your wife as much as you can. Both of you will have worse days than the other. Don’t lose the memories as much as they may pain you. My wife and I will say a prayer for you guys.

God bless you all ... also I see you're from Kaplan?? My husband is from there ... about 13 years older than your son was.

Again, God bless you all.

Hugs! My son has a serious disease. Nothing is taken for granted. We almost lost him to this last Feb and was by far the scariest time I have ever experienced. I'll pray for you and your family to have peace beyond understanding!
