    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.

    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.

  18. 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.

    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.

    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.
