@Athome2 My heart hurts for you. I’m so sorry for your loss. I too have a 26 year old son and I can’t imagine losing him. Just know that my thoughts are with you.

@Athome2 Dear mom-yes, there are posters here, including myself, who have gone through the heartache of losing a child. You are not alone even though right now it may feel so. I'm sorry for all your troubles; and I promise to light a candle for you and all your loved ones.

@Athome2 I am so very sorry. Sending you and your family prayers, strength, and comfort. Words cannot express my true and heartfelt sympathy.

@Athome2 There are no words. It's heartbreaking to lose a child. As a mother, you do everything to keep them safe, away from harm. Your child faced so many struggles and heartbreak and it had to have been difficult for you to watch him go through it.
Your son will, always, be that young man, never to age, never to struggle any longer, never to be hurt and at peace. It is the ones they leave behind that are left with the grief, the loss, the why's and the burden.
I pray for you and your family to sustain all of you through this unbearably cruel time. I pray that at some point, you will be able to remember the joy he brought into your life, his smile and his hugs and all that he accomplished and not the pain of his struggles.
As my husband, always, said......children do not come with instructions.............but he was your loving child and he grew up in your love. Please be kind to yourself during this time that is filled with so much pain.

@Athome2 @I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a child is the deepest loss of all. I know the pain, it is a knife to the heart. Overtime, a scar will form as everyone's life goes on.
Some advice. Please take your time to grieve. Accept help from those that offer. Accept that some people do not know what to say or act around you. Accept that some people say stupid things. You may have moments when something reminds you of your child and you may break down in the supermarket. Seek medical advice if you cannot sleep or eat. Accept that dwelling on any quilt is fruitless. You could not have prevented this.This never goes away but in time, you will heal.
The Compassionate Friends is a worldwide organization of people who have lost a child by any means. Check and see if there is one in your community. I went to private grief counseling but this group of people who experienced a loss helped me immensely. I went for many years and developed friendships with people who understood.
I wish you peace.
