    We went for a family vacation in July. What started out to be a great vacation turned into the worst day possible. The first day we arrived at our vacation home - that evening our son Weston got caught in the elevator and passed. He was only 7 and has so much life to live. Its so hard to function and I cant believe its almost been a month. I swear it just happened yesterday and all I want to do is hold my baby. I miss his voice and his touch so bad it hurts. Like many of you I dont understand why this is happening or how to get through it. I see his pictures and videos and just cry... he is such a big part of our lives and right before the accident he even said "mom I feel like our family is so special" - how do you survive a loss like this?

    I am so very sorry for your tragic loss. It certainly does seem impossible to get through something like this, and it is, except for the grace of God. We lost our 28 year old son to suicide, but I can't imagine losing such a young son to such a horrific loss. What a terrible, completely unexpected shock. My heart goes out to you. The only way to survive is just by hanging on. Getting up every day and being good and kind to yourself and your family. Take good care of yourself. This grieving can take a toll physically. Try to get enough sleep and eat healthy. Get outside each day and take a walk if you can.
    We are here for you to lean on. Please share your feelings when it is helpful to you.
    Life can be very hard, but you can make it.
