Members sonya2008 Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I lost my daughter on July 17, 2008 in a single roll over. She swerved to miss a deer. and loss control and when she went through the drivers window. the car rolled on her and then threw her several feet. The police said she was 65 feet away the car.I just can't quit thinking of the accident. she was 18 years old and always had a smile to share. She was a friend to everyone she met. she always looked for the good in people. she loved to hug people she knew. she just got in engaged two weeks before her accident and her boyfriend left July 15 for boot camp and she had her accident on July 16 2008. she graduated May 27, 2008. And we were two hours away on vacation. I talked to her at 9:50 and told her to be careful and she said she would, the accident happen at 10:00. My Son called me at 10:30pm and told me that my only daughter Sonya was in a car accident and we needed to get Iowa City, that it was bad and that she went through the window and my heart dropped. I'm having a real hard time coping with this because i was not here, when she needed me. She was my best friend and i don't know how I'm going to go on without her. She was my youngest, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikesmum Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 What a beautiful young girl, such a smile....I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a child, something no one should experience.Please come often, perhaps on the threads of Loss that are for adult child or teenage child. Many many other parents can be found there. This is a place where you can come, speak of your beautiful daughter and share your story. There are a number of mums & dads that have lost there only daughter/son and struggle to understand how to continue on.Take care of yourself, especially as you have still have your son. It has been 2 yrs since I lost my eldest boy Micheal. In that time I know his siblings felt the loss of the mum they knew........Trudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikesmomrs Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Your daughter is a very beautiful girl, and I am so very sorry for your loss. The tragedy of losing a child is something that cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it; I so wish that no one in this world ever had the need to understand. Your pain is felt by all here. As Trudi mentioned, perhaps you could post on Loss of Adult Child or Loss of a Teenager; the parents here on BI truly understand your pain and are ready to offer comfort and understanding. Please come and share your lovely daughter with us; we would love to know more about her.I lost my son, Mike, on Oct 14, 2006, after he fought brain cancer for 17months. He was 31 years old and has three young boys, 12, 11 and 4. We miss him more than I could ever put into words. love and peace, carol mikesmomrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bjsmom Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hello, i believe i know the pain you are in right now as i am experiencing the same. I also lost my son Bj. He had just graduated high school, had just started college and had just turned 19 in Sept. His life had really just begun, yet, it was never to be. He was killed in a car wreck on Nov 9th, 2008. The "other" driver was going 72+++mph in a 45mph zone, my son was driving 12mph as he tried to cross 2 lanes. He died instantly upon impact. The wreck happened right after midnight. I personally have talked to the coroner several times, it was considered a criminal investigation because of the "other" driver so an autopsy was performed; what the coroner has told me makes me break down. I constantly find myself thinking of that horrific night, thinking of all the things that could have been prevented. Wondering if he felt alone, did he feel any pain or did he even know what hit him. Did he call for me, did he even think of me, did he know how much i love him. I can even see his face in my own vision of this reenactment. It hurts so much! I know the pain! Seconds could have made the difference in his life or death. Just 10 seconds given or taken and my son would still be alive & breathing. I hate the weekends now, basically dread 12:15am. I feel it's like a forever haunting curse. I ask myself, "why him"? Why was it not me; i would have gladly went through what he did if a soul was needed. The only answer "i know" is that he was just too beautiful a person for this world. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone. When all else fails you, we will be here....

Members ericasmom Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Sonya's Mom, I am truly heartbroken in your loss, my girl was 19 and died on July 14th 2003, when a train hit her car at a broken crossing, she too was about 2.5 hours away and we had just spoken about a half hour before she was slammed. Erica lived, though never awake, for 5 more days. Like BJ's momma, I wondered for a long time if one minute was differrent, if she stopped to pet a cat, if we stayed ont he phone longer, anything, she might be here, but it wasn't to be. I do believe that for whatever reason, her life, though full, was short, lived well but short. I don't get to know why, I only get to live life in her light, to live my best life for her, to honor her, to love her. I know that right now the pain is too much to bare, but please hang on, drink plenty of water and juice, rest when you can, and know that we arae marching in front of you, some of us years, some just weeks in front of you and you can march then, in our footsteps, our heartbeats, as we guide you as best we can through this time. My love,dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bjsmom Posted February 2, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hello Pat(Sonya's mom), i hope that you will come back to BI soon. I also feel the pain, anguish & confusion. Still asking why this had to happen. I hope my son is truly in a better place, where peace is everywhere & pain is nonexistent. My son BJ was so happy just to be alive. He loved to have fun, as if there was nothing else, at that young age of 19. He loved fashionable clothes; Hollister, Abercrombie & AE. He just enjoyed life, particularly his own life. He was just maturing and i was so looking forward to the boy that would turn into the man i knew he could/would become. He was well on his way and had his life goals set. So hard and i just miss him so much. He was my baby and a extension of my heart. Now that the extension is severed, i feel this overwhelming yearning. An ache within me that i have never felt before. I just want to see him again, that's all i want. Life is so unfair and though we were never promised tomorrow, i just never thought this could happen. Not to him, not my BJ. I better sign off, this has been a tough week and i find myself crying constantly. I hope to hear from you again. BJsMom(Deneace) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members naisnaismom Posted February 6, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I AM VERY NEW TO THIS FORUM AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORK IT VERY WELL. I, TOO, LOST A CHILD LAST YEAR. A BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER, 22. SHE AND A FRIEND WERE STANDING ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND WERE BOTH HIT AND KILLED. THE DRIVER TAPPED ON HIS BRAKES AND DROVE OFF. I HAVE MOMENTS WHERE I STILL THINK SHE WILL BE COMING HOME. IT IS SO UNBEARABLE LATE AT NIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sonya2008 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Members Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hello NaisnaismomI'm so sorry for your loss, But i know what your going through. I keep telling myself my Sonya is going to walk through the door. but then reality hits me, that she never coming again. I remember when she would come home and say Mom I'm home. I really miss that and her saying I love you mom. When people are around i do okay, but at night when I'm by myself i break down alot. I feel that know one knows what i am going through. It's usually people that have never lost a child. so they have know idea what we are really going through. The holidays were hard but her birthday was the worst. Her birthday was January 20 and i cried all day. couldn't stop. take care of your self, If you ever need to talk I'm here for you.(sonya2008) My Name is Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members naisnaismom Posted February 11, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT FEELING LIKE NO ONE KNOWS HOW YOU ARE FEELING. WE ARE A PART OF A CLUB THAT NO ONE WANTS TO BELONG TO. YET, HERE WE ARE. I KNOW, WITH RENEE, IT WAS SUCH A SENSELESS ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND AND I GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY SO I SPEND MANY LATE NIGHTS WHILE HE IS SLEEPING. SOME DAYS I JUST THINK.....SHE IS LIVING OUT OF TOWN......

Members mpsmom Posted February 11, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Retha, I know what you mean about pretending your daughter is just out of town, we do whatever we have to in order to survive those first few months, you have found a place where everyone understands exactly what you are going through. In our house I am the one who falls asleep early in the evening and my husband stays up late alot of the time. He was the one who was always awake when Bethany came home at 11;30 curfew, he waits for her every night, as he has for the last few years. Warm Hugs, Marcia Bethany's mom forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
