Dear Sara,I can’t stop crying. I lost
my beautiful, happy 2 year old son
to meningitis 2 months ago. I keep
expecting him to come around the
corner dragging his “blankie.” My
husband is no help. He has his work
to go to and doesn’t seem to have
any patience with me.
I feel really guilty because I didn’t
take my precious little one to the
doctor sooner. I had no idea that he
was so sick. How can I ever get
over this? The pain is unbearable.
Christina
Dear Christina,
I am so sorry that you have lost your
precious son. Any time a loved one
dies, it is extremely difficult but it must
be much worse to lose a toddler so
quickly. This is not going to be
something that will just go away. You
will feel the pain of the loss for a long
time.
You and your husband are dealing
with your grief in different ways. You
are expressing your grief openly and
he is burying it inside so that he
doesn’t have to deal with it. Maybe
he is having a problem because your
grief reminds him of his own pain.
Your memories of your son will keep
him alive in your heart. If you can’t
actually hold him, you can remember
all the funny little things that he did
and said and the way he carried his
“blankie” around.
You need some support right now.
Look in the phone book or on-line for
a support group called
Compassionate Friends. This is a
group where you can share your loss
with others who have gone through
the same thing and understand how
much you are still hurting.
Sometimes life isn’t easy and we have
to get through it the best we can.
Take care of yourself.
Sara
