Quote From: keiths_mom Just wanted other mothers to know of Compassionate Friends if
they did not know of this group. It is a support group strictly
for those that have lost a child. There are meetings across the
country, but if you are like me and the meetings are too far away, this
group is on-line. Also for those that have lost a child to drug
addiction as I have, the site GROWW has a chat room twice a week just
for those parents. I am always willing to talk to other Moms
especially those with the drug related issue. Take care to all of
you.
My husband and I lost are only child, nine year old Nathan to a severe viral infection with dehydration on April 16, s007. Nathan was autistic and was on a special needs baseball team. One of his coaches dropped by and told us about compassionate friends, because she had lost her son to a car accident 12 years ago.
It is comforting hearing other people talk about what they are going through or have been through, because most of the group have belonged for the last 5-10 years. You think nobody else feels like you do. We have already hit a lot of hard firsts, Mother's Day, my birthday, Nathan's birthday ( we did do a nice balloon launch with his school friends), they miss him as well, Nathan loved to greet everyone at school, and just recently my husband's birthday.
I'm having a hard time dealing with my husband going in and out of depression, Nathan was sleeping in our bed when he took his last breath, I was at work already. If you are feeling depressed, please get some therapy and get some medication. My husband didn't like his side effects, so he quit taking them, and he started blaming himself all over again. I begged him to go back to the doctor, he did, they changed his medicine, and he's doing better.
