I have 3 sons - Carl is 25, Scott would be 19 (he died at age 14) and Zackary who is 3. Zackary is my miracle baby, he came along almost a year to the day after Scott died. I find it very challenging having a 3 year year old at this time. Some days I feel every bit my age (or older). I forgot how stubborn and willful these little tykes can be.

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ChildMy son Scott died at age 14 in 2002. He was a healthy boy who just got sick one day - the doctors couldnt find out what was wrong. I watched him die over a period of 5 months while Dr. after Dr. tried to find out what was wrong. After he died the autopsy revealed that he had been misdiagnosed. As the doctor said "he died for no good reason" My mom died of cancer 2 years ago. I took care of her and watched her die too. My father died Oct. 2007 I am so tired.
