I am so broken right now.
Moderator note: (Captain Salty here, out of concern for MoPag's IRL identity getting outed during this very difficult time I edited out the details of her post.)

Re: I lost my son
I have no words that will make any difference but as a mother my heart breaks for you. I barely know you and only heard your voice for the first time last week but I weep for your loss.

Re: I lost my son
Oh my God!
When I saw the title of your thread, I didn't want to think it was horribly true. I was hoping it was some story of your accidentally being separated at a mall and reunited. I was thinking it must be emotional, because you told him off your no longer a testimony.
I didn't want to believe it was horrible.
I am so, so sorry and that is insanely inadequate!

That's the most heart-wrenching thing a parent can go through. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry. My father/parent heart is broken for you and your loss.

I am so so sorry. I can't even imagine.
Is there anything we can do, like is there a link to donate to help with expenses?

Re: I lost my son
MoPag,
I'm so sorry. I wish there were something I could say or do that would make it better. I can only imagine what you might be going through.
Do you have the support in real life that you need? Are there people around you reaching out and there when you need their presence? If not, would it be helpful for a NOM or two to step outside of their virtual acquaintance with you and be there in person if there are any nearby?
Please keep us posted if it's helpful to you.
