Lost-a sad post

I'm lost and feeling empty.  One week ago I lost my son to sepsis, a blood infection, and my brain is struggling to process it.  A parent is not supposed to outlive their children.  This is almost a repeat of two years ago when my wife of 41+ years lost her battle with cancer within a week following Thanksgiving.  I think I'm beginning to hate that holiday.  As before, my daughter and I were there at the end.  Hard to watch and experience.  He was only 36 years old and leaves behind a wife and a ten year old daughter.

Wow Dave...that's terrible.  I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your son.  My son is only 3 years younger than that.  I know what you mean about the holidays.  Lost my mother 4 years ago on Dec. 19th.  Lost my father the following year shortly before Thanksgiving too.  You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am truely sorry Dave.
My lovely wife has lost a lot of loved ones in her life. Her first husband died 12 years ago. Then an older brother and her second husband 7 years ago. In the last 5 years, both parents and 2 more brothers. The last one unexpectedly in March of this year. Plus a couple of her friends have passed of late.
Somehow she keeps her head up and a smile on her face.
I wish you would talk to her.
She is wise in the ways of losing those she loved and continuing her day to day.
Perhaps she could impart some of this 'wisdom born of tragedy' to you.
If not, she has a sympathetic ear and a kind tongue.
