Noah

I lost my son Santiago, 8 months . So hard living with out him, without his smile. Im here if what talk abiut your pain.

I am so sorry for your loss. I won't say I know what you are going through as each of us have a differnt experience but I do know that it will get better. I have been where you are. I know the pain, loss, guilt, devastation that is happening for you right now. We lost our son in 2001 and I have to say it was the worst thing that has ever happened in my life. But, it does get better. Talk about him, remember all the good times and yes the bad as well. Cry, scream, vent. Just know that your not alone and with time the pain does ease. Don't let anyone tell you that it goes away becasue it dosen't. But it does get better and no matter what you will always have the time you did have with him. Hold onto that and never let it go. I hope you and your family all the best.

Venis- I found a very short but very sweet poem of remembrance for your Noah which is a lovely name by the way. I did not write it but found it on a site I use: HUGS to you





How quietly he

tiptoed into our world.

Softly, only a moment

he stayed

but what an imprint

his footprints have left

upon our hearts.

There are many wonderful grief counseling services out there, and it is important to seek some assistance for the overwhelming and may I say NORMAL sadness and pain you are feeling. Losing your child more than hurts-it is devastating- in my mind is one of the most difficult things there are. Services that provide for the needs of adults and children are abundant. Where I live there is an excellent programs for children and teens called Camp Good Grief- This program allows participants to actively work through the loss of a friend, a parent, a sibling- really any loss that they are having difficulty coping with. Look in the Yellow Pages for similar programs in your area. Hospice services can provide some available programs if you are unable to find any.

Reach out -don't go through it alone. Life goes on as trite as that sounds but you must learn to live through the pain honoring the life of your lost one. Grief counseling/support programs can help you identify why you feel a certain way and at what stage of the grief process you are and they help you mark your passage through the stages..................God bless

i lost my son almost 2 months ago i feel as if I'm going to lose my mind , i think about him everyday ever second. its hard to go on , friends having their babies and i exclude myself i just feel jealous and all i want to do is be by myself. my son died the day before he was turning 10 months.

I know how you feel, I lost my son 3 months ago, its so life changing and hard to lose a child. My son was 28, it was an accident. He was healthy and happy. I am going to counselling and a group called "compassionate friends" , everyone there has lost a child, i don't feel so alone. I read lots of books on grief and I talk as much as I can and express my feelings, we can't do this alone, its too hard. cry when you need too, we have to grieve, I don't wanna hurt this bad forever. we will never get over it, but there is hope that we will learn to live with it. so they say. it seems unlikey right now but I hope for that, I have no choice, I have 3 other kids and 2 grandkids. they are my lifeline. reach out to your family and friends. I hope I helped some, thats whats helping me get through this nightmare. Hugs
