Four weeks ago I came in from work and found my 22 year old son dead in his bed. He had suffered from a prolapsed mital valve and never woke up. I too have a daughter (19) and I don't want to bury her in my grief...but everything is so raw right now. I feel like I should be getting some kind of control back, but I have absolutly none. I cry at the drop of a hat. I too sleep with the last tee shirt he had on, but it's beginning not to smell of him. I want to honor him by being strong, but i feel so fragile. He was so alive, he was one semester away from getting his degree to be a teacher and a coach, he had played volleyball with his friends after church the night before until 2:00 a.m. He was suppose to leave the day we had his funeral to attend a cubs game in Chicago. He was so excited. I miss him more than I can express. I feel like I'm losing it completly.
