Funeral for my step son today

Unread postby artimrj » Fri Feb 07, 2014 8:50 am

I imagine some of you may have been wondering where I am and what I am doing this week as I have not been on the forums hardly at all. My step son died Monday night and they found him Tuesday morning slumped over in a chair. He is gone at 30 years old. He had a passion for pain pills and anti depressants and we think that was his demise. A toxicology exam is in process to see what happened as there was no physical trauma.

The funeral is at 4 today and a lot of family will be coming up from down south, the hectic is not quite over. I should be back to normal tomorrow after I sleep in, and continue with what ever else I have been doing. I do not know how long it will take my poor wife Kerri to be back to normal if she even ever does. It has hit her extremely hard. You are not supposed to bury your kids.

Bob:

My deepest condolences to you and your beloved Kerri-Ann at this time of such heart-wrenching mental anguish. Fortunately, the adage "Time heals" is true -- if we permit it.

Take good care of the both of you.
