 Quote From: rncpedrosa Hi Sarah First We would like to say I am very sorry for your loss of Gabriel. I would also share with you that we also know how you feel, we just lost our 15 tear old son Erich Winters to the same "game". He was also found by his brother and your story is exactly similar to ours all the way down to the bunkbed and a belt. What we are asking is how do you get through each day. What are some of the steps that you are taking to move on. Please due to the striking similarities of our stories we would like to talk to you. My wife is having a very very hard time with this and i feel that you could have some encouraging words for her so please contact us at erichsstory@yahoo.com please... Thank you very much for your time and again our Heart, Thoughts and Prayers go out to you and your son. Sincerely, Robert and Christine Pedrosa I am so very sorry that you have lost your boy, Erich. I replied to this message from you, sending it to your personal e mail. I hope that you got it, as it was some time ago. This is the hardest thing I've ever encountered. I can imagine nothing worse. You ask how am I getting through this..? There is a support group online at yahoogroups.com: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/supportforthosethatlostachildtothechokinggame/ there are many parents that have joined who lost their children as we did. For me, I have three incredible children who love me so well; although I am a changed person, a changed woman and a changed Mom they continue to remind me of why I have to get through this. It is not easy. Every day is a day without Gabriel and the void is unbearable at times. I've read this quote so often... "grief is not something you get over, it is something you go through". No one grieves the same and though there are different stages of grief, there is no order .. one tends to go through a 'stage' only to find themselves going through it again at some point. I also believe the urgency and desperateness I feel to warn other parents about this deadly activity has kept me from going completely ....... insane. Insane with the grief, the saddness of it all. Their is no answer, save for one's faith. My faith teeters and I question so many things now. Without 'hope' though, I have nothing. I am, a Mom missing her child.. the pain.. only those who have endured can relate .. totally. The sun rises and the sun sets. Each day is unpredictable yet I've had days now where I am not consumed. Thank God. I hope this finds you well...... I think of you often. Love to you, Sarah |
