YOU NEVER RECOVER. WHEN WE LOST OUR DAUGHTER ON NYE, SHE , HER BEST FRIEND, AND HER BROTHER RAN TO SONIC AT 1234PM TO GET SLUSHES, NEVER WOULD I HAVE IMAGINED LOSING HER AND HER HER BEST FRIEND AT THE HANDS OF A POLICE OFFICER RUNNING A REDLIGHT. NOT ONLY DO YOU LOSE YOUR CHILD, BUT YOU LOSE ALL THE AFTERNOONS, THE WEEKENDS, THE CALLS FROM ALL THE FRIENDS THAT PRACTICALLY LIVED WITH US ON A DAILY BASIS. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, OUR SON LIVED.
SO HUG THEM BABIES, BECAUSE IT COULD BE GONE IN A INSTANT. WE STILL GO TO THE CEMETERY DAILY.. SHE WAS ONLY 17...

The first 12 months are pure torture. You wake up every day thinking about what you were doing with your child on that day 1 year ago. Then you make it past the first 12 months and you feel extreme guilt because you start to feel like they are slipping away. I didn’t realize just how traumatized I was those first 3 years after until I had a chance to reflect later. Our little boy would have turned 9 this past Friday.
I lost my daughter at 29 years old. 5 years ago. Your assessment is spot on.
I was in so much shock at first, it didn’t seem real. Then it was downhill from there. Changed me forever.

I'm confident I could survive almost any loss, but the loss of one of my kids would kill me. I knew it the moment I laid eyes on my first one and the risk tripled by the time my third was born.
I pretty much live with this fear low frequency every single day.

I lost two of my children in a 15 month span in 2021. Your statement is spot on. Anyone that looses a child is never whole again. There is a void that cannot be replaced. It can destroy families. Thankfully for me it did not.
The pain that comes with loosing a child, I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

Very very hard
My daughter lost 2 during pregnancy, a friend lost one after delivery. Pained me to this day…

In the midst of arguing with Mingo last night, I found out that a child at my kids school had passed away unexpectedly over the weekend. We didn't know them as they were behind us in grade, but for some reason it's hitting me really hard. It's just put me in a funk. I couldn't sleep last night and I can't get it out of my head this AM. God bless this child's parents, their brothers and sisters and extended family. Life isn't fair sometimes.
Is it the 3 yr old that passed Sat night? If so, I'm in the same funk today. Know the parents and grandparents. When kids pass away, I really bothers me, especially if I know the family. It's like a punch in the gut

A good friend died recently of a heart attack.
We used to play golf and hunt with the dad who was a hard arse no nonsense, no emotions old country type.
I was a pallbearer for my buddy and as I passed his dad he stood up and hugged me, then said "Why Me" with tears in his eyes.
It destroyed him, he lost all desire to do anything and rarely left his home until he died himself.

You're a survivor and I'm happy to hear your family survived intact. That is a blessing in itself. The chances of coming out the other side whole are not in your favor. Enjoy today and enjoy tomorrow

If one of my sons died, it would destroy me. I really don't know how my mom handled it when my brother died. To some extent, she never really got over it.

My brother passed at 11 years old from an accident. Parents divorced soon after. My dad never recovered and ended up taking his own life 6 years later. My brother would've been 33 this month.
I saw both my Mom and Dad go through unbelievable agony. I hope he found the relief he was seeking. I like to picture them hunting and fishing together somewhere up in heaven.

One of my sisters passed away when I was 10. It was tough as a kid to lose a sister.
It wasn’t until the day my oldest was born did I realize the amount of grief my parents felt. As I was holding my brand new baby girl, a tremendous amount of grief overwhelmed me thinking about my sister’s passing.
Even that pales in comparison to the grief you and others must feel.
Thank you for being open and willing to talk about it. It puts things in perspective for me.
