One of the most tragic and traumatic losses life can deal out to a person is the death of a son. The death of a son means the loss of more than just a precious life. It represents the loss of future experiences and future hopes. No parent is prepared for the loss of a child, and when it happens, their world is changed forever. The grief, guilt, and anguish felt are acute and lasting. Parents can find comfort in knowing that their grief and mourning are normal and that many other parents have lived through similar tragedies

I only have a picture now,
A frozen piece of time,
To remind me of how it was,
When you were here, and mine.
I lost my 24-year-old suddenly, due to negligence, a simple infection. I don't think we ever have closure, will always grieve, always cry. Each day is harder than before. He was my reason...

I need you to see,
I need you so much,
I need you with me.

It runs and skips and giggles and grins,
And crawls in her lap, for a kiss on the chin,...

When God said to me softly
I'm trusting you to do

There is no word, no label, no identifying moniker,
I am not a widow, not an orphan, not childless,
But one child less.
One less open laugh and little boy giggle,
I'm so very sorry for you loss. And believe me when I say that I know your pain. This happened to my 19 year old son 15 years ago. Only he was with his best friend. My heart is breaking for...

All I know is.... I will always miss my Nick and long for him.
All I know is.... one minute I'm together and the next I'm falling apart.
All I know is.... my heart hurts all the time and it has never felt whole since the day he died.
All I know is.... the tears won't stop filling up my eyes, soaking my pillows or staining my face. ...
