[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 67674, member: 1587"] I love hearing about Tim too. The rollercoaster story reminded me of my difficult child and my husband... I too ended up sitting on a bench. [img]:smile:[/img] Like I said in my first response, everyone handles grief differently and the same person can handle it differently every time. When my dad died, my sisters and my stepmom were really concerned about me because all I wanted to do was be by myself. This was in 2001. It wasn't that I didn't care about them, I was just better able to handle the loss that way. Yet when my in-laws passed I wanted to be with family. Loosing someone so young is much harder to face and deal with I think and perhaps he does not really know how to comfort you and deal with his own feelings too. What he said when he and Tim were being pulled out by the tide shows that he really did care for him. I agree that it is a "male thing" to try to fix and I think it is a natural instinct for them to protect those they love but in this case he couldn't do that. [img]:frown:[/img] He couldn't protect Tim, nor you, from this horrible tragedy. [img]:frown:[/img] Just some thoughts. Please keep sharing. Gentle hugs... [/QUOTE]
