Close Bereavement

My Baby boy Clay was 23 when he left us in August in an Auto Accident. He had just found out they were expecting their first baby due in Feb on MY birthday. I miss him so much and haven't been able to grieve properly because of circumstances. I;m scared that someday it will all hit me at once. I don't know what to do.I hope this site helps me. I miss my baby boy.

Treatments

Crying Not Working

I still cry every day on the way home from work- and on the way to work,,,then sometimes again if I'm not focused on other things. Sometimes it helps a bit- but mostly I still feel lost.

Helping Others Not Working

I can't even help myself at the moment and do my housework the way I should- let alone help anyone else with anything. It all seems so pointless sometimes.

Keeping Busy Not Working

No matter what I am doing almost Clay is on my mind.

Music Somewhat Helpful

Classical music calms me a bit- but all music at some point just brings back memories and reminds me of our loss. Clay loved all sorts of music except country, and even listening to country makes me remember the way he would make fun of the sappy songs.

Prayer Not Working

I believe in a higher power and have prayed a LOT but nothing helps.

Reading Somewhat Helpful

Sometimes I can concentrate enough to read- other times I just give up.

Remembering Somewhat Helpful

I talk about him all the time. I like remembering the good times and sharing them,but then I get really upset because I want him back and know there will never be any more memories to create.

Scrapbooking Somewhat Helpful

I put a scrapbook together of all my kids photos for the three kids for Christmas so they could all have good memories of them together. It seemed to help a bit- but I cried during the whole project knowing There would be no more with my baby in them.

Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful

I recieved a lot of support the first few weeks form family and friends, but the support has dwindled over time. Most friends and family think I should be healing and moving on. They weren't the ones to lose a son tho- I was.

Support Groups Not Working

I've tried to find a support grroup locally that I could go to- but working 12 hour shifts leaves me little time to spare for a meeting- and most are in hours when i am at work anyway.

Talking Somewhat Helpful

Time Too Soon to Tell

Everyone tells me that time will make it easier. So far not for me.

Close Diabetes Type 1

My doctor had her nurse call and leave a message yesterday saying I needed to decrease my weight and yes, the test i took on Thursday confirms I HAVE developed Adult Diabetes. No other info was left- what does that mean> What do I do now?
