One of the most difficult lessons we learn is life is not fair, and the world, for all its wonder and beauty, can be terribly cruel sometimes. Two and a half years ago I was on top of the world, big promotion, pay raise, awesome wife, 3 amazing daughters. Some unusual back pain led to dr appointments, within days I was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer. It's from a genetic mutation that runs in my family, my oldest sister died from it 10 years ago. We've since learned 2 of our 3 daughters have the same genetic mutation and will need annual mri's for basically the rest of their lives to watch for kidney cancer. I've had 2 surgeries and I'm on my second form of chemotherapy. Hanging in there but just making it to 50 will be an accomplishment (I'm 48 now). The real kicker? I could have had a simple blood test and when the genetic mutation was detected, by getting annual scans they could have caught it early enough to increase my survival rate to 90% or better. Sorry, I don't mean to hijack your post with my sob story - I'm home recovering from my second surgery and your post really hit me. I mean to say, grieve for your son as you see fit, but don't stop living and enjoying life - I'm sure he wouldn't want his dad to stop living, because every day is a gift, none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad when I was 21, 44years ago. Still think about him every day, I don't know what I would do if I lost my son. Prayers

Sorry for your loss. I know what you are going through. I lost my oldest son August 24, 2014. He was 33 and died of a massive heart attack.

I can definitely understand how you feel, I lost my 29 year old son 4/1/2019. Still trying to understand how to deal with it. Some days it feels like it'll never get better, I either feel empty or feel way too much, there's no happy medium.
His mother, my first wife of 25 years took her life 8 years ago and he never got over her loss. I found out yesterday that he took his life also. I had believed that it was an accidental overdose so it feels like it just happened yesterday all over again.
God gave me a new wife and she's has been such a comfort, I don't know how I would be handling it with out her.

I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your son♥️♥️ I wish I had any words that I could say to you, I just don’t. The only time now that I fee some sort of normalcy is when im distracted doing something or talking to people, when I’m by myself driving or doing nothing, I find myself crying because I think of him and how much I miss having him around, I miss everything about him. My world has been turned upside down to say the least
My heart ❤️ goes out to you and your family

Thank you for the kind words, no one who hasn't gone through it can really appreciate the tragedy of losing a child. I'm constantly searching for distraction! It feels way too raw and fresh and I'm always looking for something to take my mind off of this awful thing. I have so many questions that have no answer.
God has shown me how good he is and how much he loves me through this. He's proven that he's big enough for some of the hard angry questions I've asked. The blessing that I've held onto is that my son allowed me to lead him to the Lord last year after many years of anger and rebellion toward God.
I've learned that no matter how many pictures you have of them, once they're gone, its never enough. When I look at his baby pictures and the pictures of him growing up, all the hopes and dreams that we invest in our children seem pointless and foolish.

I know that this too will pass.

View attachment 166511 View attachment 166512 View attachment 166513 It is taking me 2 plus years just to be able to look at my son pictures after the devastating and tragic vehicle accident that took my son life, I still haven’t been able to walk in his room, still intact since that horrible night when the police knocked on my door.
Words can’t explain the pain that I live with every moment of my life
He gets to ride with me till I get to meet him again.

DAMN!! That's very ****** dude. My thoughts and prayers to you. Peace!!
