Missing My boy.

I came here the day after mothers day as I could not find an active site and I needed help. I am glad you are all here as I need your words of wisdom too. Little Mac my son was murdered 5 years ago and has left me with such a huge hole. I somehow thought it would get better with time. Right now it feels worse. I don't feel like my mind is working right all the time. I am so overcome with anxiety and sadness that I am not sure weather I am comeing or going. I sobbed for a half hour monday after putting up his picture. What an amazing boy, how could someone hurt him in such a terrible way. I am lost in the darkness of his death. The good memories are to much to take. The thought of him happy only lets down my gaurd to the reality of his end. How do I get past that.

" When you lose a loved one at the hands of another, it is so hard to imagine how anyone could do such a thing. It is not natural. It is not an accident. Someone did this to them (and you) on purpose. It has been two years since my daughter was murdered. I have bad days and good days. We grieve differently from one another, but the stages of grief are the same for everyone. There is an article on the ForMomsOnly group about grieving and it tells you what you can expect. Being anxious and sad and even confused and not able to focus are all stages and they will pass. You just have to keep hanging in there until they do. You will never understand why he was taken that way, but you will be able to get back to living yourself. Draw the strength from deep down inside your soul. I hope you find peacee soon. "

" I just wrote about this feeling without knowing you were going through the same thing. I am SO sorry for the loss of your young son - mine was 18 when he died. I feel like you do.... just existing in life. All I can offer is someone to talk to - I'm here with you in this awful darkness. Glad you found this site. "
