I don’t know how to cope with this. My son Joey had an undiagnosed brain infection. He developed symptoms in Feb of this year & died of a seizure July 14, 2021 😭💔I had Intermittent FMLA & instead of staying home that day to help him, I thought he was okay at home with his dad & brothers & I went to work. Why did I do that????
We had numerous doctor appointments set up over the course of the next week to try to figure out what was actually going on with him. I had 12 days off work starting the next day. . Well that day, Joey wasn’t feeling well & went up to his room. Every single day he had been staying on the couch in the family room with our 2dogs. He died alone 😭His 18yo brother found him hours later on his bedroom floor & called 911… I was still at work & saw police rushing into our home on our Nest camera.. My heart dropped 💔The symptoms my son had it NEVER once occurred to me that he could die. I am just in a state of shock. I had a beautiful family, 4 wonderful sons, a loving husband & now our world is just shattered & I can’t figure out why… Why would my boy get a condition that is rare & lethal? Why has this happened to our family?? I can’t imagine a future without Joey in it. He was loving, caring & was on his way to a very bright future. He was majoring in psychology & wanted to be a counselor to help people. He was the best brother & son… Everyone in our house is suffering… I feel dead inside & I can’t figure out what I’m supposed to do now. I have 3 other boys & a husband that need me, but I’m just dying inside & don’t see how this is ever going to get any better.
