Trying to stay strong

[tedb]

Most of you guys remember the post I put on the thread below this one. I spent a lot of time reflecting on what you all said. The worst came true my boy lost his fight against his disease (DIPG). He took it to mat and it still won he outlasted the time frame of 9 months he went 11 months and 13 days from diagnosis to his passing. Been trying to stay positive and look for guidance. I’ve seen some things that tell me he is listening..
But I still don’t feel any comfort that our lord called my 9 year old son home. It still feels like a kick in the nuts. I know that diving back into a bottle is not the answer but it does dull the pain. Any insight would be helpful. I don’t need the verse or passages written out I do have a bible and one that is my go pack if you give me the verse I will find it. Thank you and please reflect that age 9 my son know more then me.

Very sorry for your loss.

I am not very religious, but I hope there is something after this place.
Whatever you do, seek out people that will support you, and not enable alcohol or drugs.

First I want to offer my heartfelt condolences on your loss. You are going through a painful grieving process as a parent and I can offer no words of comfort that would console you. But I need to warn you that you are in a vulnerable state looking for relief from grieving pain. The bottle is not the answer and only provides a temporary and false relief to the pain you are feeling. Emotional pain is a part of the grieving process you can't avoid. You also have to consider the need of your family that is still living. All I can offer is prayer on your behalf for strength to endure what you are experiencing.

Praying for you. Very sorry your son lost his battle.

A bottle may be a temporary help but extreme bitterness
resides in the liquid.
