About Me
I lost my 21 year old son 6-17-07. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever dealt with. I am a paraprofessional working at a middle school with autistic children. The kids are great. Now, I need them as much as they need me. I have been married 24 years and have 3 sons. My middle son, age 21, passed away on June 17, 2007. Every day is a hard day. And now, 5-25-08, I have lost another son's girlfriend, age 20. She was like a daughter to me.
Interests
I used to like to laugh, swim, camp, write, and read. Now, I work on my son's memorial page. www.scott-grant.last-memories.com

I know that the death of a child is the worst, but some people like me suffer a lot when trust dies too. Today July 4th, I feel so lonely.
Hug
I hope your day is filled with love and joy, my friend. XOXO

Type: Loss of a ChildMy son passed away June 17, 2007. Seems like a minute ago and yet like a lifetime. It was sudden. An accidental overdose. He was in a car accident a few years ago and broke his back. Although he walked he was always in pain. The pain was awful. He had taken too many pills. I listened to him breathe at 4 p.m. At 5:30 p.m. I went to wake him and he was gone. It was Father's Day. Now, I have lost my almost daughter-in-law, May 25, 2008, age 20. This HURTS!
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- I cry when I feel like it. It is sometimes just a welling up of tears, sometimes to the gut. I guess it helps.
- Grief Counseling Working / Worked
- Combining with EMDR. It seems to be helping.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- I work with Autistic children in a middle school. For 7 hrs. a day I am sure to be distracted. I adore the kids. It helps to help others, I think.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I haven't prayed too much lately. I still believe but just don't have much to say to Him lately. I am sure prayer never hurts.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Trying EMDR Therapy. I think it may help!
- Reading Working / Worked
- I read everything about grief and death I can find. I am trying to find a way through this awful time.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I am so blessed to have such good friends. They call & check on me. I have even received cards which are welcome. As we all know, after the onslaught of cards, they stop. It is nice to get a random one.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Compassionate Friends and this site. It helps just to vent.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I talk to my friends, my husband, support group, and you on this web site. It helps.
- Writing Working / Worked
- I have started writing to Scott. The 1st letter was long..I had stuff to say. Since then I have just written to him about regular stuff. It helps me feel closer to him.
