[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 208644, member: 1953"] Dear Babyblue31 my sister in grief. It has been 2 1/2 years that my precious son Alex died from a drug overdose. He was 17. GoingNorth is right, all you can do is take on day at a time, if that is too much, take on hour, one minute, one moment. Just go easy on yourself, losing a child wipes you out emotionally, physically and spiritually. Feeling like you are losing your mind and crying all the time are completely normal. If it is of any help, I have noticed that the days leading up to the "angleversary" or birthdate are often more difficult then the day itself. The first year, was the worse possible year I have lived. Being 2 1/2 years into it, I can tell you it is (easier,gentler,softer, choose one) then the beginning, but still hard. I also suggest finding support or somebody to talk to, I have never been to a grief counselor, although lately I have been thinking about it because things are hard right now. I am however, part of another online support group: I have a wonderful website to suggest, a support group for parents (only parents) that has lost a child. It is mychildlossgrief.com When you go there, you can go to the message boards or the main site. The message board is just like this, parents giving support to each other. The main site has many articles and other types of support. If you feel you need to connect to other grieving parents, I suggest you try. It can be overwhelming and sad, but sometimes just reading what other people are going through helps you understand your own grief. My name there is Lia~Alex's mom. You can e-mail me anytime here. I haven't been on here a lot lately, but I have been checking in. Please take care of yourself. I'm wishing you as much peace and comfort as possible. (((((HUGS))))) Love, Lia [/QUOTE]
