You will survive and are not alone in your misery. About a dozen years ago, I lost an 17-y-o son to the after effects of a birth injury so I am NOT a stranger to such things.
Earlier this evening, I spent some time with an older friend who is losing his 30-ish daughter to brain cancer over in Wisconsin. She has three good teenage boys that have high aspirations, and a sperm-donor only dad. At 70-some years old they may come to live with Grandpa when cancer wins it"s battle with her, which will be soon.
I finished out the evening (and just got home at 2 AM local time) with 2 GOOD friends, one of whom lost his 79-y-o Dad earlier today/now yesterday to a stroke. Living in a small community, ALL our lives have crossed paths at some point.
We had a HELL of an evening swapping tales and lies in the big farm shop recently built by his now-deceased Dad. His older brother, about a year or two younger than me, died in a car wreck while in high school back in the 70"s.
That kid"s GF, on the rebound, married a guy a couple years older than I who farms the land that borders mine on the east. They raised two GREAT daughters, one of whom is now a veterinarian. She STILL puts a rose on my buddy"s brother Kevin"s grave every memorial day, after all these years.
So there is ENOUGH grief and misery to go around in MANY of out lives and we ALL have to cope with it to the best of our abilities!

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
