Coping with the Death of a Child

Quote From: bunny628

 I too lost my son to suicide.It will be two years this Sunday that I lost Willie,he was 20 yrs. old. I am also still having a hard time coping with my loss, there are still days that the pain brings me to my knees,I cry everyday some days more then others but it's always there . I have joined a group (on line) called POS  (parents of suicide). It has been very helpful. This is also a wonderful place to talk about our children and the caring and support is always there (Debra has been wonderful). I have not been on line much the last few month because it was just to hard to cope with,I still can't fully believe that my boy is gone. I had to go meds because I was not able to deal with it anymore,if not for my other children and grandchildren I don't know what I'd have done. My Dr. said I'm am suffering from acute grief.Not very helpful the the meds do help in coping. What is your sons name,please tell us about him. take care Bunny (((HUGS)))

Bunny,

My son's name is Jason.  We have a website  www.jasonhellewell.com  . Jason suffered from bi polar for over 10 years.  You lost your son within weeks of my son.  It is such a nightmare...you want to wake up and it not be real. 

I am coping OK...I still cry but the Prozac keeps me numb. 

 

I would like to know more about your son too.  I am a member of a yahoo group solos-parents.  I am also in a grief support group on cafemom.com 

 

I tried going to a support group meeting but did not get much out of them.  I am still in counseling...now just once a month.

 

Hugs,

Pam
