    Grieving Sucks

    Grieving for a lost child takes pain to a whole new level.

    This site is the story of our journey through grief for our lost son Richard. Therapy maybe.  I’ll probably also share some stories about Richard. We were very proud of him and like all grieving parents, we don’t want him to be forgotten.

    By sharing this story I hope I can help you, if you too have lost your child.

    Richard would have been 23 today. So this site is a birthday present to him.

    Happy Birthday son. I miss you.

    Why this website is here.

    Richard’s story.

  • The Death Certificate Arrives

    The Death Certificate Arrives

    Well it took almost three months but the wait is finally over. The death certificate has arrived.

    This means I can at last get started dealing with the legal, financial details of Richard’s death. I can now unlock his various accounts. I can go to court and get official control. I can then get the life insurance ball rolling. Then I can pay for the funeral.

    Yeah.

    When you hear about a celebrity or someone dying, and they say they are waiting for the toxicology report, believe them. It really does take a long time to get those lab reports back. Our attorney says this may have been a new record though.
