[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 670111, member: 2287"] I'm so sorry. Grief does have many stages and they don't always come in the order that everyone thinks they will. The sudden death of a loved one is extremely difficult, not that the death of someone that isn't sudden isn't. My son was killed in an auto accident, suddenly, in the daylight in the middle of the summer and no one knows what happened. Funny, that sentence was ignorant sounding, but you see, nothing makes sense when someone dies suddenly. Don't look for it to ever make any sense. I could sob right this moment thinking of that day, and it was twenty years ago. The pain was, and is, unbearable. I spent five years trying to put one foot in front of the other...and I did it. After about five years, I decided I could make it without him, or not. I chose to make it and you will, too. I remember all the fun we had, how much I love him and what a special young man he was. My life was forever changed, in that instant when he was alive and then he wasn't. This is part of life, JKF. This is the part that sux. Feel the sadness, feel the total grief and take baby steps to move through the day the best you can. Slowly it will get better, just ask me. [/QUOTE]
