Lost my 14 mo old son
12

I  just lost my 14 mo old son in a terrible accident.  He and my 3 1/2 yr old were playing outside in the sandbox.  I was clearing the dinner dishes and my fiance was going to take back the movie rentals.  I was just walking out onto the back porch when my fiance came running in.  He had backed over our son with his truck.  He was dead instantly.  I held his lifeless body until the police arrived.


My fiance is consumed with guilt and grief.  I am mostly numb.  We made it through the funeral, but now we are having great difficulty going on.


I don't know how to handle this.  If anyone has some advise for me I would really appreciate it.

Hello. My heart is crying for you right now. Please accept many hugs.


I would urge you to get in touch with Compassionate Friends, for parents who have lost a child. I also think that you and your fiance MUST get some counseling together from a clergy person, or grief counselor.


Please know you are in my prayers!

Oh hun, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know exactically what your going through. Cameron was only year older than your son when he was killed by a car. My husband is just like your husband is blaming himself and still is. He won't get counselling for it, make sure your husband does all he going to be depressed for a very long time. My hubby was holding Cameron's hand when Cameron pulled out of hubby's hand and ran across the road. Please get in touch with Compassionate Friends asap. Don't forget we hear for you.
