I am so sorry for your loss. I went to something called griefshare that really helped me get through those early times. It has been 9 months for me. I can't bear the pain but somehow I am getting through it one day at a time. One of things I thought that was really helpful was learning that everything you feel is normal except for if you want to hurt yourself. Then you need immediate help. I thought I should feel better after a month, so finding out it was okay that I wasn't really helped. Now I always repeat to myself that it is okay to feel how I am feeling and just keep trying to pull myself up everyday, apparently the loss of a child takes a few years to really start feeling better. Not sure if that is even possible at this point. I am going to counselling soon and have heard that it helps, so maybe give it a try. Try to find a group in your area. It helps to talk and listen to others. Even if you don't want to talk that is okay too. I think we really need to help ourselves because nobody is going to do it for us. I have learned that grief is a journey ( not the journey I want to be on that is for sure) but you can't rush this journey, it just doesn't work. Talk about your son all the time, it helps.

Members Tommy's mum Posted March 9, 2017 Members Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 allen and Vonbalt it is good that you can support each other and others from a male perspective. I like the diversity of different people and points of view, advice and opinions. We are all brothers and sisters in this sorry club that we all joined sharing our personal stories of our beloved children. We can work together to heal and kick grief's sorry ass.
