Hello @ @fundsrlow2. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

To everyone who has shared their experience in this discussion and has lost a child—there are truly no words to adequately express how sorry I am for the pain you’ve endured. As a mother of two young children (ages 6 and 3), this is my greatest fear and worst nightmare.

The fact that you are speaking out, sharing your stories, and finding a way to move through each day is both incredibly brave and deeply inspiring. Please continue to support one another, and don’t hesitate to reach out when you need support yourself. Remember the good moments, the joy, and the love—those memories are powerful and lasting.

@fundsrlow2- You mentioned remembering the good times, fun, and ridiculous things he got into as a child, what are other ways you choose to celebrate your son?
