My whole life changed one month ago today when my son was murdered in my front yard. I can't sleep, I can barely get out of bed. I know I'm suffering from PTSD. My anxiety is threw the roof. Just trying to find the strength to go on

We can well imagine your overwhelming distress at the loss of your son and the manner of his passing. I do hope the guilty party has been brought to justice as that will help to bring some closure , a small measure of comfort.Do not say your years together were wasted. You clearly loved your son. I am sure that when he was ill you comforted him as a child and during his growing up: you never let him go cold or hungry, you did everything to bring happiness into his life, helped him bear his disappointments.

So your time together was not wasted, it was not all for nothing because your time together was cut short.

He will never be far away from you and he will help to give you the strength to get through these days of great sadness. Slowly the pain will grow less, never to leave you completely but as you come to accept the reality of what has happened you will be ready to face the world once more.

I am so sorry for your great loss.

Just yesterday, I watched this powerful video about resilience, from a woman who had lost a child in a terrible car accident. She offers 3 thoughts/truths to cope with grieving and other difficult times.

I hope that it will help you.
