Loss of a Child

Dear C., My son Ryan had terminall heart and lung problems since birth. He lived until age 12 and died at home.I would love to heard about Cam. I am sorry that we have this in common. Ryan was my first. I am 47 and a grandmother but grief and loss knows no age limit. I had an small daughter when my son died. Please let me know if you would like to talk. Also I was helped greatly by a group called compasionate friends. you can look them up on the internet to find a chapter near you. S. R

hi C.! I am soooo sorry for your loss. I have a special needs child myself. my son has autism. I know its tough already so to imagine what you must have gone through tears my heart up. How are you doing? What exactly did your son struggle with?

All my prayers,
Noni

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine what you are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Good luck with you new little one!

My sister lost her little boy at around 18 months from brain cancer. He spent about 10 months in Boston Childrens Hospital. She is still having a hard time. She wasn't married and doens't have anyother children. My mother lost my brother when he was 27 and she said at any age, losing a child was the toughest thing that she has ever had to go through and parents are supposed to bury their kids, not the other way around.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am. My son is three, so your post really touches home. I wish the best for you, and your family.

Here is a site if you're interested in it. I know a couple of mom's who post there.

My heart felt prayers go out to you and your Fiance.
I lost a son when I was 23, he was only 1 month 27 days. His death was from Sids. It was sudden and unexpected. The pain was and is still 20 years later, extreme.
The hardest thing for me was having 2 subsequent children.
Cameron is in a more peaceful place now. Im sure that doesn't ease the pain.
God Bless you both and your unborn son.

First off my condolences to you and your fiance. GOd blessed you with time to spend with Cameron. Please remember the good times that you spent with him. He now has given you another gift. Your new baby boy will be your best friend please do not be sad please love laugh and sing and enjoy him. It will be tough but you will get thru the sad times.He will help you.Cameron will help also from up above. Please take care of yourself and have a safe delivery.

I am so sorry to hear about your son. A parent should never have to go through what you have been though. Stay stong and good luck with your new Baby.
Sincerely,
tlsmallfry

C.,

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss of Cameron. I'm sure it was very hard to lose your little boy. At the same time, I'm happy to hear you'll be having another in just a little while!
I know you'll always miss Cam, but also know you'll have much joy with the new addition to your family.

If you ever need to talk or whatever, feel free to look me up and vent away.

Best wishes,
L.

I lost my first son 2 weeks before my due date. I had a placental abruption...

Hi C....

I haven't personally lost a child, but I was there when my niece lost her son. He was 2 and died from brain cancer. They were from VA and moved here to get help from Children's Hospital, so I was at the hospital often, spending nights there so she could get out and get some r&r....

That was rough...if you've lost a child, I can't imagine what you're dealing with. One day at a time dear, one day at a time....

Hugs....

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you. Good luck with your delivery of your little one.
