@PamfromCT wrote:@BalletBabe, You should be proud of your son to handle a situation like this. I am sure he was very considerate and empathetic in this role. I cannot imagine this mother’s grief.
Accidental deaths are terrible enough, but this? I pray this mother will have love and support always. You just go on, but never get over something like this. May God bless your son, the young man who died a hero, and his mother.
As far as some who interject inappropriate comments, it is usually the same people. Try to ignore, as it is a bid for attention. Think of a toddler, having a tantrum.
Thanks so much @PamfromCT , that means so much. I am so proud of my son! I am lucky in a way that he really don't get deployed, as he is too high in rank now. He worked very hard to get where he is at. He is serving his 26th year. The day he was pinned a chief was the happiest day of my life.
Toddler having a tantrum is a great description---Thank You again.

He had to make death notifications also.
As a military wife, when he was in Vietnam two years I dreaded seeing Officers coming to my door. That meant notification.
It wasn't an easy task for him and his Sergeant to knock on those doors and attend the funerals.
Bless your son for his sympathy and concern with his notification. And prayers for the mother whose son died serving his count
@1Snickers THANK YOU!

Please thank your son for his service for me. I always appreciate all military & first responder men & women.
All they do for us & too many who hate and disrespect them.
A kind gesture to them is welcomed.
I'm so sorry for the Mom who lost her son, as well as all families & significant others who go through these very difficult times.
Bless their souls ..

A tragedy for everyone.
@Love my grandkids No he was not lost in the shuffle, but he was not there. They are divorced and the Father does not live with the Mother. My guess is that the Father was told by other Navy people that lived closer to him. From what I am told the Father does not live in Florida.
