My only child died 11/19/2011.

by Toni Sasso

Anthony and Mom

My life will never be the same since you died.
I wish you could have stayed longer with me,
Although we are apart,
Your are Always in My Heart.
I dream of a joyful time when
we will be reunited once again.
Thoughts of you make me smile.
You will always be My Forever Child.

Anthony was 46 years when he died. The medical examiner's report is still pending. He was a good son, husband and friend. I used to be afraid of dying but now I welcome it. Nothing in my life will ever be the same.

My Only Son
by: Anonymous

I too lost my Only Son. I have other children but he was my Only Boy. Brett was my heart.. I miss His conversation. His silly laugh. I Miss His Hugs more than anything. Its been a little over 2 years. May 15th 2010 was the tragic day. Brett was a SGT. in the United States Army. 2 Deployments to Iraq. Infantry. Front lines, blown up twice. Was out and home for 3 months. Laid down and passed in his sleep at 23 years old. I get up and cry all hours of the night for Him. I dont think I ever really sleep anymore. I am sorry Any Mother or Parent knows this horrible Exile it seems to be after the loss of Our Children. I do find Moments of Joy. Fleeting Moments but I do. But I Cry...I Cry..Always for the Sadness and Void Brett left when he went to Heaven..God Bless You All..

Michael
by: Cecelia D

I lost my precious son Michael on January 24 2012. He died instantly in a car accident. He was an amazing person. His smile lit up the room. The outpouring of grief at his wake was a tribute to his life. He was a loving son, a tender boyfriend, a beloved nephew and cousin and friend to so many. He was a respected attorney. He died doing what he loved. He loved his New York Giants. He had gone to see them play the 49ers in California. Spent the weekend with his cousins and their children. Went to the game with his cousin and was sky high with their win. He took the red eye home and was heading home to change for court. He never made it. It is thought he feel asleep at the wheel and crashed head on into a building. He died instantly.We will never be the same. You see he was our miracle child. He came to us as a suprise.
I had hysterectomy due to complication when I was just 34. He was our world. He made us so proud. He was so happy. He finally found a girl he loved. He had a good job He was the happiest I had ever seen him. There is no , just a life.that will forver be empty.

Hang in there!

My dear friend,

I lost my son of 37 years old to suicide. He was a famous dentist. It is almost 7 months but I am suffering very badly. The only thing helps me is prayers and the thought that I will join him when I die and stay with him for ever. I was afraid like you to die and wanted to live long time. But now I wish to go any moment and welcome death and not afraid at all. Because I know the fact that he is waiting for me. I talk to him by thoughts and he answers me back. I really know how you feel. God is helping us to cope with this huge huge pain and sorrow.

Your friend

Losing an only son....
by: Ruth

I too have lost my only child, my son, Michael on June 4 2011. The grief journey is an amazing experience, first it seemed that I would simply die from the grief. Then I thought I was going crazy. Now I learn to live with this heart ache. We will never be the same, we are forever changed. How could we not be? I know that losing any child whether it is your only or one of many is just horrible. I hope our children have maybe found each other in the afterlife and maybe friends. Rooting us on to continue and know that they are for us. I just wish I could call him and see how he is doing. Cause its the talking to him that I miss the most. I loved his take and opinion on life. The world is so much more duller without his laugh and love. God Bless you all.

Thank you all for your sincere condolences. I did find a local chapter of the Compassionate Friends in my area. It's going to be a sad Christmas.

I understand your grief. I lost my 23 year old son 16 months ago to leukemia. I commented to a co-worker yesterday that the passage of time doesn't concern me because it meant I was one day closer to Heaven and joining my son. She was horrified and thought I was talking about ending my life. I set her straight....Sending lots of hugs to you. I recommend The Compassionate Friends meetings if you have a group near you.

A candle
by: Cindy

I am here beside you.
I light a candle in the the dark so you can see that I walk this path with you. It is such a hard journey. I too have lost my only child on March 21st of this year. Dylan was 27 years old. His appendix ruptured and he was gone. I want you to know that you are not alone with this pain. I know it, and I know how profound it is. There is none like it. I grieve for the loss of your darling Anthony. He looks to me like he is a gentle soul, so is my Dylan.
I understand when you say you no longer fear death and that you welcome it. I feel that way too, for I know that my son is there just beyond the shadows to gather me in his arms and lead me to paradise. I want to tell you that although our lives are different now, we must not let them become mundane and bitter. God has left us here to continue our lives and honor our children by showing the world what a miracle of strength and love the human heart truly is.
Reach out, give back, speak often of Anthony, and remember that your life is so much richer because he lived.

Love Always, Cindy

I'm so sorry for your loss. Everyone here on this web site has experienced some type of heart wrenching, life changing loss.
You must feel so disconnected from life to lose your only child. The pain has to be overwhelming.
This is a good place to come and write your feelings. We are all good listeners because we all grieve for a lost love.
God bless you as you travel through this awful grief journey. All we can do is try our best.
