Donna asks for help: My son just died in a car accident last Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008. I don’t think I can do this. He was only 20 years old and still lived with us at home. We worked for the same company and rode to and from work every day. I have to go back to work this coming Monday and don’t know how I’m going to make the drive in without him. He was so beautiful to me. I can hardly look at pictures of him right now. All I can see is the image of him lying in his casket. God help me! I have wonderful friends, family and church supporting me and still I feel like I’m drowning. I can’t breathe. Someone tell me how to face tomorrow when I wake up again without him here. I can’t see how. Jarod was my heart and soul… Please help.
Dr. Gloria Horsley responds: Please have someone drive you to work and pick you up for a few days. I know it will be a pain but you need and deserve the support. It is also hell having that empty bedroom and closing your eyes only to see them in the coffin. Things will ease over time and that last image will lessen. That picture in your mind of your son in the coffin is a way for the mind to let us know that it is true and that he is gone. We fight that loss with every fiber in our body and mind. We go to sleep and wake up to the fact that it is not a dream but a reality. They are really gone. Hold on to the love and history that you still have for one another. You had 20 wonderful years and as time goes on and the suffering eases your memories will shine.
Fondly, Dr. Gloria
