Thank you for sharing your story - it was a very brave and courageous thing to post it and I'm glad to hear that it has helped you to do so. I can only begin to imagine the depth of your grief. It's a terrible tragedy that anyone ever has to lose a precious loved one, let alone a child.
As Sarah said to you, the feelings you are having now are totally normal and understandable. I hope that by posting here about your feelings you will feel that you have another outlet for your grief and hurt, particularly since you will be surrounded by very understanding people here. You may have seen me post this elsewhere (and sometimes I feel like a broken record saying this, but I feel it's important), but I really don't believe you ever get over the loss of a loved one....it's just that in time you learn to live with it and it becomes a little easier to get up in the morning. Grief really is so different for everyone; in how long they grieve for, the range of other emotions felt and how they deal with it. The important thing is that you do grieve and it's such a tough thing, so whatever we can do to help, please know that we will. If there is anything that I can do to help, just say the word. I'll do my best in any event.
Also, don't ever worry about the length of your posts. Take whatever time and space you need in order to get your feelings out there - this is really important and we all understand. It also helps us to better understand your situation and your feelings so that we are in a position to help you as much as we can.
