    I lost my son suddenly to a brain aneurysm. He was 32 & never had any symptoms. I can't feel, sleep, eat or live from my bed. It's been three weeks but feels as if it were yesterday. I can't take this excruciating pain!! I can't function! My first born baby is gone!

    Cynthia I am so very sorry for your loss. There is never a time where a parent can prepare themselves for the loss of a child, and when it happens suddenly it becomes a near impossible pain to bear. Three weeks is no time at all to wrap our minds around such an enormous loss and the truth is this is a loss and a pain that you will carry forever. However, I do want to provide you with the hope that as the days go on you will feel stronger and more able to carry it. And if that sounds unimaginable, I understand. Right now the focus has to be on caring for yourself, taking each moment at a time, focusing on the task right in front of you, and finding support from those who understand. There are people here who understand and I'm glad you have found us. I truly hope it can be a help and I wish you healing in the days ahead~

    Cynthia, I to lost my son who was 38 suddenly, it’s been 4 months and he was also my first born, I know exactly how you feel the pain is like someone just ripped your heart out of your body and they still expect you to function, sleeping on some days is the only thing I have to look forward to, but each day I try to function for my grandkids. I know this is hard, I will be praying for you, take care of you and take small steps each day.

    I also lost My Son Marcus at the age of 30.it it going on 3 yrs this coming Feb.Although it is not easy to deal with now, it is less painful as time goes on.not to say it will ever be the same.God has given me strength to be able to stand.I pray He is doing the same for You.I feel this forum will help also.Finally now there are people who really understand what we are going through instead of just
    " saying " that they understand or feel our pain. May God grant You comfort , peace and strength
