My son Miles Elliot Coughlin
I found out that he'd died on May 23rd, 2016
This was the worst thing I could ever hear. My blood ran cold and my heart pounded until it hurt.
These were things that were just figures of speech. Not so.
These are physical manifestations of grief and I'll never get over it.
I couldn't ever imagine that this would happen.
Life always worked out for me. I thought it would work out for him as well.
He spent a lot of time depressed but I thought we'd still get to spend a lot more time together.
He played drums as though it required no effort and I was sure I'd have him play with my band.
His friends love him as his family does.
He left a mother, father, sister, stepmother, stepfather, grandmother, aunts, uncles, nieces and a nephew.
I miss him every single day.
I've become very active in organizations that tend to this kind of grief.
I've made good friends because of this.
We all wish we never had to meet.
