Have You Ever Had A Child Die? How Did You Handle Your Grief? Do You Ever Get Over The Devastation Of The Tragedy?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Winter Haven, FL

My son was 26 mentally unbalanced and so was his fiance, she tried to run him over in the carport, then it got really tragic. He got a hold of my gun in my sock drawer, a 380 with a clip holding ten hollow points and one in the chamber, he shot his 8 months pregnant Transgender boyfriend biologically female and killed her/him and then himself. They lived with me and I witnessed it. I have anxiety depression and PTSD . I'm in counseling to try and help

I am sooo sorry for your loss ! What a tragedy. My heart hurts for you ! Losing a child is the worst pain ever ! I know firsthand unfortunately. I lost my youngest daughter in 2018. She died from a fentanyl overdose. She was only 31. I totally lost my mind when it happened. Everyday was a chore to even get out of bed. I stopped working and haven’t since. I was put on anxiety meds. I just recently was weaned off the per drs orders. What a nightmare ! Although things aren’t as intense it’s still hard. I know she would want me to move on and live. It gets different over time not better. I’m praying you find some peace. Always remember the good memories! They are always with us. God Bless
