[QUOTE="Steely, post: 434435, member: 3301"] I just wanted to offer up many, many hugs. I have not been keeping tabs on your thread until today. I read all the posts and felt SO much compassion. My sister passed away 3 years ago, and my dad died a couple of months ago, and it is just my mom, son and me. Like you, I feel a great need to have more family - so if I did not already have a child I can totally see myself adopting a child. You bonded with him, and had an amazing 7 years - and now this. I imagine your pain is deep - and that it causes the pain of losing your family members to re-surface as well. I am currently struggling on what my son's diagnosis is - he is showing some extreme signs of darkness - I will just put it that way. It is sad, grievous, but most of all I find it so hard to grapple with the fact he used to be this adorable blond hair, blue eyed pumpkin that I read stories to every night. This child who was so loving, smart, funny, and such an amazing artist - is completely disappearing. It is heartbreaking. Coupled with losing my other family members, I really struggle - and I am sure you must feel exactly the same way. It truly is a loss, something that you perhaps need some counseling for? I am glad that you know that you are not alone - because you are not. There is a whole group of people here who know and understand. Again, many, many hugs. [/QUOTE]
