My dear I'm overwhelmed for you.
Your precious son, your only child, came home to you to die, on the anniversary of the day he was born. In some strange way, this seems comforting ... that he made the choice to end his long journey where he felt safest - with his Mother. It's an achingly poignant end to a long & challenging journey for you both.
I have no words to offer that can console you. Losing a child is far beyond the reach of words. I only pray that you can feel the love & support of everyone here at SRF for you & your son.
I wish for peace, for both of you. I'm holding you both in my heart.
Love Helen

How horrible. How awful. I can't believe it. I'm so sorry. I wish I could help, I wish I could say or do something. It's every mothers nightmare, but especially like this on his birthday? I'm so sorry. I hope you have friends and loved ones near you to help take care of you. Sending up prayers for you.

SS please accept my condolences for this loss. I hope you remember he is in the Hands of God/HP now in a world without suffering.
Can I respectfully suggest the book "the Grief club" by Melody beatty? it talks about many changes and coping with them. She also lost a son as you may already know. She was the compassionate voice that soothed my pain at a very difficult stage in my life. And she also mentions how it is vital to remember we are not alone, we do not have to do things alone. There is much love and help to get us through.
SS, I agree with wicked. Your calm reassurance and ESH have helped me in numerous times. I got you in my prayers

He died on his birthday.
I saw him come into the world and go out of the world on June 11.
The memorial is this Sat. at my home. I don't have the energy to have it anywhere else.
I just want to remember him at home.
He'd been sober just over two yrs.

I don't believe things happen by chance. I don't think it was a coincidence that God gently placed your newborn son in your arms and that you were there to gently place your son back into God's hands. It was His plan.
I hope you can take comfort knowing that your son felt your loving arms when he took his first breath and when he took his last breath.
In time, the pain fades and lots of lovely memories take its place.
