Jesse
How lucky I was to be your mom.
About Me
- Isonomist
- On February 8 2007 my 22 year old son Jesse died after a ten day coma, due to complications from APL leukemia. He and his younger brother had just lost their dad in January 2003, just a few months after Jesse had started college. Jesse's first round with leukemia was in July-August 2004. He recovered in time to push himself through University of Michigan on time, with good grades, chemo and all. This time, we weren't so lucky.

And we’ll never be lonely anymore…7 years ago
Where you at.

Hey, Iso. I would never presume to compare your loss to mine. It'll be 4 years to the day at 5:50 PM tomorrow evening. All I can say is that I'm still taking mom's death a lot harder than my siblings are. I don't know exactly what that means. Maybe just know that... I don't know. That having met neither you nor your boy that you've both made an impression on me.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I didn't answer this sooner, I haven't been here at all since that last post. It's been too hard to deal with. I think it's harder to cope with grief when you don't have the distractions of others, when you lose someone you love that much, a lot of things contribute. So I don't really know how to compare loss. We each have a different experience. But I can say that losing Jesse has somehow made the loss of my father less painful. Maybe it's like curing a headache by breaking an arm.
