Thank you for your kind words, It is good to know that what happen to my son was
not unique and that others are dealing with the same feelings that I am. When I
tried to explain how my son died, my friends looked at me like he had committed
a horrible crime, There seems to be such a stigma to AeA.Now I just say, it was
a senceless accident that  I can't talk about and people accept that. It might
sound stupid but I miss my son's smile and his hugs.Thanks again for your
support. I have noone to talk to about this except my therapist.

Hi Sunshine, I agree with everything Suzanne said. most of us knew nothing about
this. even if we had seen it on tv or heard of it, who would think their own
child would do this? I think guilt goes with losing a child no matter how they
died. its irrational yes, but its normal. That is my biggest struggle, trying to
get past the guilt! that and just missing my son. I could really use him these
days.
I hope you can find some comfort here, knowing your not alone.

take care,
Carol

this other sides of our sons/friends/ fathers and struggle with the guilt of we
could have stopped it if we had known or, why did they do it when they new the
risk, i really belive that none of them tryed it thinking they would die out of
it, its taken me along time to be able to say that but im slowly getting my head
around it. I cant say that the guilt ever goes even 15 years down the track but
it does get easier and we learn to find our own ways of understanding and
forgiving to the best of our abilities.

by the coroner as auto erotic asphyxiation. I had never heard of it until then.
He was 25 and I feel so guilty that I didn't know about this side of him.
