Folks Of Interest Cancer took my son.

My one and only offspring my son Christopher aged 44 passed on Friday April 2nd. The sad part is due to corona virus I couldn't get back to the USA for his truncated funeral rites.

I hesitated on posting this because I'm usually reticent about talking about my personal life but HAMB has been my lifeline during my darkest hours. Even if you didn't know it each and every one of you have helped me get through this time.


The HAMB has been the only thing on the web that I have been looking at when I'm not wandering around like a zombie in my empty house.

It's been a tough year he was in and out of hospitals and they tried all the usual steps with chemo, bone marrow transplants, even some experimental stuff at Slone Kettering cancer center but nothing worked.

Friday my ex sent the email I was expecting but hoping against hope would never come. At the end he was in unrelenting pain so I try and convince myself that this was better but I would have gladly gone in his stead.

 

As a father of one boy, this breaks my heart. He's in a better place man, tho I know that won't assuage your anguish. My sincere condolences. God be with you...

 

So sorry to hear of your loss. God bless you sir, in this tragedy.

 

LOUDBANG,

Damn. Not what anyone wants to hear. I’m so sorry for your loss.

 

So sorry to hear this. I can't imagine the emotional pain of losing an offspring. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

 

So sorry for your loss....

So very sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and your family

 

So sorry to read your post and learn of your loss and grief. Please accept my condolences and sympathy.
To outlive a child is incredibly painful as I saw this when my sister suffered through cancer predeceasing my mom.
Best wishes to you and hope some good memories help mitigate the pain.

 

This breaks my heart to hear. Think of all the good times you had together.

 

Really sorry to read this loudbang. Stand with us here on the HAMB, we are behind you, and feel your pain and sorrow.
I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

I can't imagine......I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm pretty far away but if you ever want to chat or anything let me know.

 

So sorry for your loss, Been there

 

Yeah I'm not gonna hit a like button. That's just a kick in the fucking nut sack Mr. bang. Be tough, be you. Cancer sucks, no other explanation. It's worse that you're stuck wherever you are and can't go to the funeral, but it'll be alright. I don't do funerals. That's not the memory i want of someone. Hang in there big guy, bunch of hot rod buddies here for you when you need us.......

 

Words fail to express the sorrow I feel for you in this time of loss. My heart is heavy but I know from personal experience that it always darkest before the light....walk towards the light. Thoughts and prayers are with you, hang in there brother and thank you for letting us know so we can share your burden.

 

Man...that sucks six ways from Sunday!! I do hope you get a little comfort from putting it out there. Don't know if I would have big enough Nads to do that. And as Mr. 49 said...I hope your days do get better for you as time goes. Gene.

 

Condolences mate.

 

My heart breaks every time I read of a parent losing their child.
I too lost a 21 yr old son many years ago now. I can only tell you that time really does dull the pain. There was a Time when I couldn’t even talk about it.
Immediate Grief.... the pain was excruciating both mentally and physically. It comes uncontrollably in waves. I’ve found some OTC pain meds helps get you through it. Seriously.
You and your family are in my prayers.

 

So sorry for you loss, I can't imagine how you must feel.

 

My heartfelt condolences for your loss. Find solace in knowing that his suffering has ended.

 

This one is especially tough, the loss of a child is something that one never expects and I cannot imagine your feelings. I’m at a loss for words, I cannot express my thoughts to you in this, some of your darkest hours other than to say please accept my deepest sympathy.
Godspeed Christopher.

 

Losing a child has to be the ultimate test of your soul. I am sorry to hear this.

 

So very sorry to learn of his passing, may he rest in peace.

 

Very sorry to hear and our prayers

 

So sorry to hear this. Don’t know what else to say.
