Coping with the Death of a Child
Quote From: shebee39I lost a son 3 years ago and each day is a struggle, he was 41 years old. David suffered from anxiety and fell down his stairs and broke his neck. This is the worst possible thing to happen to a mother and I just don't know how to get through this. I work part-time to keep my mind occupied but I can't get out of this rut. I just cannot believe this happened to me. I am married but not to my son's father and sometimes I wish he would have died instead of my son, after all...he is not related to me and many widow's re-marry at some point in their lives but you can't replace a child. My son dies because he didn't have health insurance thus he had to go to a clinic run by the State which has the very worst Doctor's and they just didn't care. I have a solid wrongful death case, but I don't have the money to have the lawyer's pursue the case but I am still trying because everyone need's to be aware of this, it could happen to any of us. Thanks for listening.
Sheila Shelia, I think it's really great that you can work part time to keep your mind occupied...It is also important that you still pursue your wrongful death case, so you can feel the satisfaction of speaking for your son because he can't do that part now. I think I would have done the same. It is not unusual for you to wish your spouse died instead....he is not your child. But the facts remain that your son is gone and you miss him. You have to keep your life moving forward because you need to speak for him in his case that was created by having a system that has tons of holes in it and incompetent healthcare. I hope your husband gives you the attention you need and the many hugs that you deserve. Good luck to you. Laurie
