Sending lots of love. Take things one day/moment/breath at a time. If you would like a place to connect with other bereaved parents that get it, I have a closed Facebook group you can join. http://www.facebook.com/groups/livingafterchildloss

He passed from complications of pulmonary embolisms. It was a shock. It was fast and came out of no where.
I’m angry and completely lost. I feel guilty everyday for being alive. I wasn’t with him when he became ill and I’ll never forgive myself.

I’m so sorry. But, does it ever get easier? We lost our 15-year-old last month. He was hit by a car. He died from traumatic brain injury. Many things you wrote about your son’s experience are very similar to our experience. The tests, finding out he’s gone while still on the machines. The medication that made his heart beat, then when his heart stopped beating. The guilt too! Why did I let him go? And now, I don’t know what to do now. We have two girls, 12 and 11 years old. How do we go on? Does it get any easier?
