But it wasn’t my shadow and no one was around. It was so strange.

He was 24 with three beautiful little boys ages 4, 2 and 3 months. He loved them so much. I went to the accident scene afterwards and promised to take care of his boys and tell them stories about him. He came to my boyfriend in a dream and told him to “take care of Mom and tell her I’m sorry.” He knew I worried about him. I still worry and am struggling with losing him. I have had things “jump” out of my hand and have had things moved around. I think Devon is here and he’s telling me he’s ok. It still sucks. It always will.

I just want you to know you are loved beyond measure. Don’t listen to those thoughts when they enter your mind… those thoughts tell you lies. There is value in being vulnerable enough to share your truth. Sending lots of love your way.

Needing to know I am real that someone can hear me my story the love that backs up inside of me, waiting to be heard!
Thank you

Im in panic. I cant focus not caring of the world around me. I cant stop the tears. My breathe is suffocated. I hate the person i am. I was focised happy giving and caring for my family i feel as though i have nothing i dont know how to redirect myself. Isolation is my new normal. Socializing is not a luxury want or need. The tv has not been on since that day. The radio has not been played. I care for nothing. I dont know how to live without my son. Forever 23 Logan Ray Trent.

He passed away 24 days after his 8th birthday after an 8 month battle with brain cancer. Next month marks 3 years he’s been gone. Thank you for sharing. I also blog about him, his life, his death and my life after child loss. In the beginning, it was such a healthy outlet to express my grief, but I slowly trickled off from blogging, but reading yours just now reminded me of why it’s a passion of mine and why I made my blog to begin with. To not only help others, but myself as well. You are more than welcome to read through my journey since losing him. Maybe my words can bring comfort to you somehow, in the knowing that my pain is simply a reflection of yours.
Take care. Xo

I found your website by random Googling while I was having suicidal thoughts – I’m sure I wasn’t going to act on them right then, but the thoughts were very strong – and ended up reading a bunch of posts…Seeing the reality of what it’s like to lose a child in such excruciating detail, and imagining my (beloved) mother going through that – it just knocked those thoughts right out of me. I know the effect won’t be permanent, because mental illness doesn’t just go away in one moment, but I am going to keep everything I just read close to my heart. I’m very anxious about opening up like this, and I’m afraid I’ll say something wrong – but you were the one who said that that’s a risk you need to take, and you talk about putting your stories out there. I feel like I need to tell you the good you’ve done by speaking out. Thank you.

He lived courageously with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy for almost 21 years But was stable. Then he died suddenly from massive strokes from a disease he never had symptoms from. The grief is unbearable. I was his Mema and Caretaker. He was smart and so wise and kind. How I miss him every minute of the day. Our days were filled with love, conversations, his Gaming , Drs , Teachers and Therapist. Friends and family. Jannis His Mema Forever
