Loosing a child

I would have to say that loosing a child is the worst pain ever. I lost a son, in 2013. You never think that something like this will happen to you. Now that it has, I am not sure the pain will ever go away. At first I just wanted to wake up, from the nightmare, now I try my hardest not to think about it or him too much. It just an unbearable pain. No mother should ever have to say good bye to one of there babies. There is just no way to move forward. No way to put it behind you. No way to accept it. How would you cope if you lost a child? Or if you have lost a child, how hard do you find, living day to day?

i dont really think a mere comment can do justice to the pain and sorrow your going through neither i could say it will go away...because it stays till the end sometimes as nightmare...sometimes as memories and sometimes in the form of wishful thinking all i can say...power to you..and hope you atleast get happiness in other endevours

Its about feeling light by sharing the pain.That the normal human mentality. We tend to speak out out pains to feel light.

I know your unbearable pain, because I, too, have suffered from it. We lost our beloved daughter when she was a baby 25 years ago. And no, the pain never goes away, you just learn a way of living with it. And don't ever forget your son, he goes on in your heart. Thru our grieving/life we have learned that we have to help others, and as a result have set aside a considerable amount of money for research for the heart disease that took her precious life. It helped us, it is unique to each family though. Our son goes out for a drink of her birthday every year, just quietly, so that he can pay tribute to a sister that he was too young to remember and who herself, was taken too soon in life.

I can not even imagine the pain a parent goes through having to deal with the loss of a child. However, I have come close several times. I still worry that one day it will happen and pray it never does. One of my friends lost her 16 year old son to a tragic accident last year. I have seen her go through mourning and my heart aches for her. Lean on others for strength. Pray. It is all you can do. Big hugs to you.

I"m not sure I could live like normal again after losing my one and only son. It's the only thing i dread in this world. I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm so sorry for your pain. No amount of words could describe the pain of a parent who has lost a child.

@toniganzon I can't imagine how hard that must have been and still would be. I also lost my mum in 2014. I miss her sooooooooo!

I have also lost a son. Yes, it is very difficult to deal with the pain and feeling of loss. One thing that helped me might help you also, if you will take the time to consider it.
The Bible tells of nine people that were resurrected. What is a resurrection? You might be surprised at who will be brought back to life in the future.

I tell myself that for him to be taken so young, that he was wanted for bigger and better things.

For a father or mother loosing a child is worst than a nightmare. Thats all i can feel. Nothing can fill the pain you are going through. I'm really sorry for the state you are now living.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. May I ask what happened? I have 1 son who is 11 and I can't imagine what I would do if I lost him. I have known people who have lost a child and they struggle just like you. I have many struggles and have found therapy to be helpful. Having a support group is important too and I don't know where I'd be without mine. I'm also a Christian and that helps me. Maybe you could volunteer or do something to help others to take you out of yourself. When I feel bad doing something that helps me feel better and think about others helps. I don't know what will work for you but I hope that even talking about it helps. God bless you and give you peace.

I am sorry for your loss. There is a reason for everything though right now we can't understand why it happened to us. I hope and pray It won't happen to me cause I will go crazy .
