Members red_9213 Posted May 29, 2017 Members Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I see a lot of parents who have lost their adult children. Is there anyone who has lost a child in their youth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike P Posted June 23, 2017 Members Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Red_9213 - I lost my 2 1/2 year old son in 1992 to an accident in the home. He was climbing on a dresser when he was supposed to be taking a nap and it fell over on top of him. It was the most horrible experience of my life! You are in a good place here. All of us have experienced child loss, and we have a good idea of what you are going through. You are welcome here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike P Posted June 25, 2017 Members Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thank you, Tommy's mum. It was the most horrible experience I've ever been through! It took me a very long time to get strong enough to carry the grief rather than it carry me. As other posts on this site will attest, you never get over it. You get strong enough to carry it. One thing I've discovered along the way, is that I could heal as long as I did the work to make me heal. I also found that it was a very gradual process.
