A Life Sentence

Some days I feel like I am losing it.  The constant mental attention to Damien’s case over the years has been intense. I feel I lost my life when my son disappeared.  It’s a life sentence and I don’t know why.

 

I am in a tunnel and I don’t know who I am anymore but desperately searching for some light.  It’s not a life, it’s existing.  Anti-depressants don’t take away the situation.  Counseling helps to talk it through but it doesn’t solve the issue.  The issue is I have lost a child and I have no idea how or why.  My grief will be  endless until I find an answer and can begin to heal.  My life is flat. No highs and no lows just treading the flat line in hope, ‘one day we will get answers.’  

 

I am not alone. Too many others are suffering along with me. My family and friends.  Other families who have a missing person situation in their life suffer similarly.  We all hope somebody somewhere can help is shed light on our loved ones disappearance.

  1. I truly hope you find the answers that you and your family deserve . It’s not fair that you’ve been hurting for this long , i pray that whoever knows something realises the damage of there silence and comes forwards . You deserve closure . Thinking of you val. x

  3. Only thing that I know to say that can help you is to turn to God. I know that he has all the answers and can help you more than anyone elsewhere ever could. Trust him.He loves and cares for you.
