[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 645187, member: 3305"] coma, You are right...No mother should have these thoughts about their 19 yr old. The pain and horror of it all is too much at times...and I am SO sorry you are going through this with your son. I too have had these "funeral thoughts" regarding my own difficult child. It's hard not to when just a couple of months ago Dr.s called my daughter in law to tell her that difficult child had a "needle that broke in his arm and tested positive for Meth". Or the suicide threats, etc. So hard to remain hopeful at times. I also try to remember that miracles DO happen. I wish we could walk the walk for them...that it didn't have to be so scary or near death to wake them up! But they have to learn for themselves...be convinced in their own minds...and we are forced to trust that it "takes what it takes". I agree with others that as long as there is breathe there is life...and there is hope. Just know you remain in our thoughts and prayers coma...both you and son. I don't know why some of our difficult child's have to sink so low before they learn. I wish it didn't have to be this way. with love, LMS ps...Does your son have any AA friends that you might be able to call to come visit him while he is in the hospital? [/QUOTE]
