Grieving I isolation is just so cruel

My thoughts are with you and yours.

no words, I am so sorry for the loss of your son....

You have my deepest sympathy.

I have no words to ease your pain but I am so very, very sorry for your loss.

perhaps the saddest errand anyone could ever do.

My mother and I did that drive to the mortuary for my sons ashes in 2013. We still hurt when we remember.

He is home
Take care

I am so very sorry to hear of your pain...may you find the support and love needed to make it pass.

So sorry you have lost your son.

I wish there was more I could do for you.

From one mother to another I understand your grief. I lost my son just over 2 years ago.

I lost my son 9 years ago, and it still hurts deeply. Words can not describe the pain of losing a child, no matter what their age. Stay strong. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Sending virtual hugs to you.

I hope you will find peace.

Sending my deepest sympathy. My heart is breaking for you.

Our family's strongest love to you.

Virtual hugs and vibes sent.....

Take special care of yourselves and each other at this sad time. Know others are here for you.

God this is such a nightmare.

I have been a DU'er for many years, just never post. When I saw your post, it was like a kick in the gut. It took me back to when I picked up my son and I felt like I had to write to you. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have support. I want to suggest an article easily found online "The 5 Stages of Grief and Other Lies that Don't help Anyone." The woman who wrote that article, Megan Devine, also wrote a book "It's OK That You're Not OK". It was my bible for 2 years until I lent it to another grieving mother, now it's her bible. The loss of a child, no matter what the age, is such a dreadfully painful experience. It is like no other death in our lives. I know no words can express the pain you are going through, there is simply no comfort. I am thinking of you tonight.

are like a comforting quilt around my shoulders.

As some of you know my son, Jay, was diagnosed back in March of 2019 with a glioblastoma tumor. It is the same tumor that killed Sen. Kennedy, Sen. McCain and Vice President Biden's son. He was given 15 months and passed 2 weeks shy of the one year mark.

When Jay's body was picked up by Research for Life I gave him one last kiss on his forehead. His body was first taken to Barrow Neurological Instute Ivy Tumor Research here in Phoenix. While it is a blind study Jay's brain is going to a study being done by Dr. Nadir Sanai who happened to be his neurosurgeon. The rest of his body was used in an orthopedic study. Jay looked like the Disney version of Quaismodo in Hunchback of Notre Dame. Truly, they could have been brothers.

When the virus started shutting things down I was told his ashes would be held here in the Research for Life facilities. Yesterday, they called and told me I could come and get them. I was so happy that I did not ask why. My only question was could some of the ashes be placed in a necklace one of his friends gave to me. They said that they could do that for me.

The necklace is a TARDIS. Those who know about Dr. Who know what a TARDIS is and what the letters represent. I am thankful/grateful to have him back with me and that while he is no longer with us, all of this crap started last year and I was able to be his side through the surgeries (he had to have a shunt later in 2019) the radiation, cyber knife treatments and that I could be in the hospital 24/7. He was 35.5 years old when he passed.

Again, thank you for your love, your prayers and positive thoughts. They helped me get through 2019, they are helping me now and they will help through the rest of this year. You guys are really the best.

i cannot imagine.

Only once did I face this possibility and it sucked me dry. We were lucky and his brain tumors were removed and benign.

I'm so sorry

peace during this hard time also.

My condolences

my son is in a better place.
