OT: Loss of a Loved One
I am so, so sorry! This is a loss I hope you will allow yourself to process in your own time, not in that of others who think you should be 'x' on your journey.
There has never been a word, in any civilization, at any time in the history of this world, to describe a parent who loses a child. It is THAT awful. Widow/er, orphan...all part of the expected path in life. But no parent should ever bury a child.
My heart goes out to you and while I cannot put my arms around you in a physical hug, I most certainly do so with a virtual hug and great support of you now and in the future!
Be good to yourself, don't forget to care for you with protein, hydration and sleep. Your son would want you healthy and well cared for, honor him by caring for yourself fully.
HUGS HUGS HUGS!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time.

My thoughts and heart are with you and your family during this difficult time. As you grieve, please reach out as needed, although others to carry the burden when you need the help.
Your son left a beautiful legacy in his daughter and son--hold them close, they need you too.
Please take care

Oh my god - oh my god.... I can feel all your pain... you poor poor woman. Words are just so inadequate. I can't imagine your misery right now and hope I never do. I hope they find and prosecute the ******* who did this.
I'm not a praying girl but I am a 'feeling girl', and I send you good feelings, love, support, strength, peace, and more love. Life is going to be quite rough for awhile - lean on every friend and relative you have for support. Get through one day at a time. Sleep when you can - it's a good way to escape somewhat.
I will be thinking of you often - I am so so very sorry.
