Members yellowbutterfly020405 Posted August 6, 2011 Members Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 4 weeks ago we lost our 6 year old son suddenly and unexpectedly. I am just reeling from the loss. I am desperately looking for someone to talk to who can relate. Would love to talk to someone who lost a child at a similar age. I am also not very religious so looking for someone with similar beliefs. Is there anyone out there? I feel so alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them post in the "loss of an adult child" forum, even though they have young children. That's just where people decided to meet. You can go there and find many parents who have lost their children suddenly. They, too, are reeling and in utter anguish. Many have learned to move forward and are more than willing to help you along this difficult path. Feel free to go to that thread to post the story of your son. If you'd rather, however, I am sure people will post to you here shortly. In the meantime, just try to move forward one day at a time. Try to keep eating and sleeping and getting out as best as you can. Do what you are comfortable with as far as work and socializing. It is okay to cry your heart out often, and it is okay if you don't. We all grieve differently. We will be here for you. ModKonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shellyku Posted August 8, 2011 Members Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Lizandadam and yellowbutterfly - I am so sorry to hear of your losses. I believe no matter what the ageour journey is the same...the loss of our precious child. Yellowbutterfly, how unimaginable to lose twochildren 4 months apart. My name is Shelly and I lost my 29 year old daughter, Sarah, to leukemia justshy of 1 year ago. Please know that the people on the Loss of an Adult Child thread, as Modkonnie said,are the most compassionate, warm, caring people because they know of this journey. My heart goes outto both of you and I will keep you in my prayers. (By the way, there is no judgement here for your beliefswhatever they may be!) Have a peaceful night.
