Honestly as horrible as it sounds, I worry more about what will happen if I go before my son. I know in my heart no one will make the sacrifices and take care of him the way I do. What keeps me up at night is what happens to him without me. We do have home nurses but all the mentioned is the issue with nursing and not all of them care, for some it’s just a job. I used to have the dreams too, my son is now 15 and I haven’t had them for several years but I remember the reality of waking up.

It may be selfish for me to want to say I want to go before my son, but after burying my daughter I just don't think I could handle it again. In an ideal world we would leave this earth together but its highly unlikely. I just would hate to think what I would become after losing him. I don't think I could be of any use to this world after. I hate thinking about it but it really does plague your thoughts sometimes. I hope I age out of the dreams though. They are the WORST.

@@et3network837 I just finished your third podcast and I’m not going to try to pretend to know the pain of losing a child but I can say I understand where you are coming from and it’s not selfish at all. ETA you never know your impact on a person, I’ve been listening to your pod cast and I have to say they’ve been immensely cathartic knowing that throughout the years I’m not the only one silently dying inside at a birthday party or holiday putting on a happy face. Love the podcast and hope you keep it going. Wish I had had the courage to get my thoughts out like this instead of holding everything in all these years.
