Hi Dan,
I am so sorry for the losses you are enduring. I've been following the thread, but don't really know you so was hesitant to post.
I want you to know that there are others who understand you and your grief. Many, many of us have been through a traumatic loss. In reading your posts, all those feelings came rushing back to me. The anger, the fear, the emptiness, the confusion, the total inability to function some days. You are not alone, and never will be.
It sounds as if your son and your family are very loved and cared for - that is so awesome! A support system right now is so important. And it says a lot about you.
Two things that might help you through this, and take from my post what you will, are things that I think helped me.
First, don't fight the "current" of grief. Tread water, lie on your back and float, let yourself grieve. Don't forget to take deep breaths and pace yourself.
Second, talk your face off. Tell anyone who will listen how you are feeling and tell loads of stories about your son. I see this board is a great venue for that.
I hope you are having safe travels this weekend as you start yet another grieving process. I am so terribly sorry for your losses. You and your family are in my prayers.
