Oct 2013

I'm new to this grieving thing. Our 19 year old son passed away this July. Completely unexpected. I'm finding the changing of the season particularly hard because it's just more evidence that time is marching on. Without him. And I find that so, so hard. I want to stop the world and say "WAIT! Don't you all know what an awesome human being just left this earth?"

I guess this probably isn't the best way to introduce myself. I, too, have been checking in on this group several times, just looking for words of wisdom to help me on this new path.

Thanks for being here.
