Dear Ken, I'm sorry to hear about your son also. I think I talked to you before about it. I just had a friend who lost a 10 year old son with a conagious disease. Right now you are stil in shock and may have some guilt about the fact you could have done more. I know you are going through so much pain right now. For the first year or more you kind of just go through life doing what you have to do about all you can do. In time you will feel the pain less so subtle you won't notice at first. I had a hard time because I didn't know anyone else who had lost a child and I felt so alone. Don't go it alone try to find a support group. Some try Compassionate Friends. I'm here for you any time for questions or to talk.

Oh yes I'm so sorry aout someone using your grief to hurt you. I will be praying for you. I got hurt a when I first went on SH when a bunch of people decided to use my profile information and picture to make fun of and ridicule me. May I suggest you take most of your personsl information off your profile. I'm so sorry that someone would use your son to hurt you. Actually my sister kind of did someting like that to me. It hurts.

Your friend Jean
