Aren't you tired of living and waiting for things to get better?

Thank you Teresa @hopeful33250. I found the Loss and Grief discussion page and replied to
"Child loss and coming to terms with life never being the same."
My wife and I are currently at our younger son's house in San Antonio TX. We only had 2 children and he is doing about the same as we are... keeping it together but clearly suffering. He has a wife and 3 kids so that responsibility gives him strength and courage. My late son is survived by his wife and 3 sons. The youngest was having the hardest time when we left there and the others seem to be hanging in there pretty well. They are very active in school, band and athletics, so that helps them tremendously. We are all driving back to Virginia on Sep 21 for a celebration of life, so we will see them again then.

If youre not familiar with the Program Grief Share, please consider looking at it.
Its for anyone who has lost a Beloved.
In our class there were all different losses: drugs, old age, cancer, kids, etc.
Its a great SAFE place to be with others who are grieving. I highly recommend it. I will probably go thru it again.
Blessings to you.

I appreciate hearing from you again, @drteddy. I'm glad that you found the Loss and Grief discussion page, and that you were able to post there as well. As you keep telling your son's story, it will help you adjust to this new normal in your family.
I wish you and your family peace as you plan for your son's celebration of life later this month. I believe that the memories of your relationship with your son, will bring you comfort.
