Lost my 14 mo old son

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.

I am so sad for you and your finance. Very little I can say to comfort you but at least know that there are many people that feel your loss and grief. Both of you will need some tremendous support from family and friends to try and cope with your feelings. The circumstances would warrant seeking the help of a grief counselor or someone trained to help both of you. Family and friends can be support vehicles but something this tragic will most likely need to help out.


I will pray for you and your finance tonight. My heart goes out to you and your family.
