Sandra, What a terrible thing for a parent to go thru. :( It sounds to me like you had classic symptoms of a panic attack. I cannot say it will ever go away. And I certinaly would not minimize the situation by saying when you "accept the death" of your child, because as a parent I doubt I could ever accept something like that. Talk to your doctor. There are medication’s that can help, and you might consider a parent support group.

Having something horrible like that happen to you makes you feel vunerable and makes the world seem like an awful place. I think a person may lose faith in their creator when this happens. It shakes up all of your values. Of course, most of us have been taught not to question our faith in God. It’s ok to ask, "why me"! It’s ok to be angry! I don’t think that you’ll ever be able to accept the lost of your child, but I do believe that the hurt will lessen and that you’ll be able to think about the good times that you had with your child; and that you will stop feeling "guilty" for being the survivor. Talk to your psychiatrist. I don’t know how long it’s been since the death of your son, but I believe that you’re going through the grieving process. My heart goes out to you. I can only imagine your pain, and I know that you must feel crushed. Just let those tears flow and pretty soon, hopefully, life will be easier to accept.
