I just lost my son in a fatal Car crash. I cant go on. He was just 23. He was the passenger. What do I do

Answer 1

I am so very sorry for your loss, I really dont know what to say to you.

The first thing you need to do is to give yourself time to grieve you cant rush that, you must take time out to look after yourself, I'm sure that your son would expect you to get on with your life.

Take a deep breath, rest, eat sleep and live, it will take time, my thoughts are with you, I know that sounds soppy, but they are.

Answer 2

You have my prayers at this time. I will not print a bunch of things here, but direct you to the following webpages:

When I lost my own child I came upon this quote: "A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. But...there is no word for a parent who loses a child, that's how awful the loss is!" - Neugeboren

All you can do is try to make it through the next 5 minutes, then the 5 minutes after that and the 5 minutes after that until they become hours and the hours days and the days become weeks.

Answer 3

Lord, whose ways are beyond understanding,
listen to the prayers of your faithful people:
that those weighed down by grief
at the loss of this this young adult
may we find reassurance in your infinite goodness.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.




You have to search deep with in and know that your son will want you to be happy. Don't think of it as death, think of it as him going home with the lord. Pray every chance you get and do not for a second forget who your son was. I am truley sorry for your loss, and I do not know how I would handle losing my own child. I will keep you in my prayers. Stay strong for your son. God Bless.

Answer 4

I am sorry for your loss...

I know the pain that you feel, I lost my son in 1996, he was 16,
all I can say is get thru today, dont worry about tomorrow.
Do what feels right for you.

I am at a loss its hard sitting here knowing what to say but the words dont come.

Remember him for who he was and you take it 1 day at a time. You will be in my thoughts as you go thru this difficult time.

Answer 5

I am so very sorry for your loss. Just take one day at a time--one hour at a time--one minute at a time. I have often thought that would be one of the worst losses one could accept. I hope you have loved ones or friends to share your burden or give you words of comfort. I will remember you in my prayers.

Answer 6

i'm sorry for your loss.
it is very hard to lose a loved one especially a son you had so much high hopes for, many have gone through it
a son is irreplacable even if you have other children
don't be alone , always stay around friends/ family
if you have a faith you can talk to the minister and visit your place of worship and pray. this will help you a lot.
i hope you feel better soon.

Answer 7

I am 23 and that is really sad to hear. I don't have any advice to give you. I can't tell you how to feel or what to do.

But I will say a prayer for you and your son right now.

I am truely sorry for your loss. God bless.

Answer 8

I'm so sorry. Why not contact a group like Cruise? Or perhaps a bereavement counsellor? You need help as a family to get through this. Take care - I will think of you in my prayers.

Answer 9

Im very sorry to hear of your loss.

But i would advise not to ask for help from a site such as this....its just pure luck that the posters before me seem to be balanced and moral people.

Its only a matter of time before some idiot posts here......if they do,try to ignore the lowlife.

Answer 10

Be sure that your son is in good hands right now and accept the fact that your son is gone.. Loosing someone important is hard specially a son.
