Oh my Maggie........I feel your pain and I grieve with you! Please reach out to someone to help you with your grief. I know it is unbearable and make you feel like you can't go on. But for me, from somewhere deep inside, I was able to pull upon my inner strength and get through each day....and each month.....and finally each year. PLEASE find someone to talk to you! Or post here! I promise to check this board more often!!!
Hi Maggie,
I have been praying for you since I read your post about a week ago. No one knows how you feel because there is only one Rafael and you are his loving Mother forever. Your relationship is unique, never was, nor will there ever be another Mother & Son like Maggie & Rafael. You are both so special.....and so loved by a loving God, who has Rafael in His arms. This truth is what I pray will comfort you.
I, too, had a very unique and special son..and a wonderful husband. I watched in agony as they both died. I, too, am alone. I moved away and I tend to isolate myself. So, I can understand your aloneness. I will continue to pray for you, my friend.

Im so sorry Maggie. I understand your pain. I live in San Diego, CA and my coworkers grandson lost his friend too just recently. A healthy active young man (15 yrs of age) . He just passed out in the middle of his living room and the coroners report was that he had heart failure. How does that happen, I still question. I keep asking why my daughter. 16 years old. Its been over a year and I still cry in my sleep and cry when I think of my beautiful daughter whom I miss so much. Im finding comfort in books right now. I have read so far "Special dreams", "I'm still here", and right now, "Ghosts". These books talk about other parents whom have lost children different ways and get this feeling of love and support surrounding them , in which we come to find out it is our children still among us. Hang in there. Youre daughter still needs you here in this world. Just know, someday, we will all be together again with all whom we love. Take care...
