I hate going into our local chipotle because I know he should be there with me, building his favorite burrito. My 18 year old son took his life 15 months and two weeks ago. Nothing will ever be the same. I saw the picture that you labeled ” our last family picture”, and I immediately know what you really mean with those words. . I have that picture. Our last Family picture. Our last Christmas. Without our son, are we even a family anymore? Or just spare parts ? Each one of our children is needed to create that complete unit, a family. What are we without them? Thank you for sharing. Grief feels so lonely, even when our heads know how many others are living with this pain, our hearts feel like no one understands, no one is so very alone. It is good to know that we are not alone.

How right you are, Cindy! It makes no sense when/why things hit you. It also doesn’t matter how long it’s been. It’s all still there so fresh. Thank you for reading & commenting. Sending hugs your way! As you know, loss like this changes you.

I lost my 23 year old son eight years ago. I am so sorry for your loss.

It is definitely the same thing with songs! I have reached the point where i appreciate it. Anything that makes me feel it and remember him is a positive thing, even if it does also hurt. Thanks so much for stopping by! It’s actually nice to hear that you remember your sister. That is one fear I have about my oldest daughter. They were best friends and I’m afraid at some point she will stop remembering.

Certain songs come on the radio, and it’s like she’s there with me. They take me back to being a kid riding in the car with her. It used to hurt, but now I appreciate it. It helps me remember what it felt like when she was there. My heart hurts for your family. Losing a child has to be a whole different level of pain. I’m praying for your healing process.
