I Have been on TV Clubhouse since the very first season and for me it has not been summer without being here. MY firs ID was Zachysmom.
So far I have not been able to bring myself to watch BB this year and it is not because of the show and most certainly not because of this lovely place.
Some of you knew my son Zachary - Zachyd here when he posted early on. Some of you even met him! I want to let you know that Zach transitioned from this earth on December 28th.
He was a lovely man, my only child, the light of my life. He was still living with us as he completed nursing school.
I am struggling to find a way to move forward even almost 7 months later. I lost my father and soul mate sister in the space of two months in 2019 and losing a child is nothing like that. Zach was my closest friend and we traveled widely to see music together. Somehow I need to make a life of meaning without him.
Please- if you know anyone who has lost a child I have found a wonderful resource in the Facebook Group and Website Helping Parents Heal.
Love to all of you and I hope this season has been a good one!

Meggie I know words can never even begin to heal your broken heart. I lost my son Joshua to suicide 9 years ago and the pain just never goes away. You get through it and move forward, but the pain is always there. I pray that you find the strength to get to where the pain eases to the point that you can think of the wonderful memories you built with Zach and the pain is not always in the for front. It took me a long time to get there but I can think of Joshua and all the wonderful memories now and not break down. I am sending you so much love and hugs.

Meggie, I am so sorry for your immense loss, I cannot imagine nor do I want to. I have been here since the first season of BB too and do recall your posts. Sending you much comfort and positivity for you in your life path. I know you still have much to do and enjoy here on this earth which is what Zach would want for you too. I know he is watching over you and will give you the occasional sign of his presence.

Meggieprice, we don't know each other well but I do want to send my condolences. As I read your post, my heart broke for you. I can't even start to imagine what you are going through. It must be so very hard. You and Zach certainly have many friends at TVCH. We are all thinking of you both and I hope that gives you some solace.

Meggie, you have been through so much loss all at once… I’m glad you found a group where people can relate. I have lost newborns, parents, friends, and my dear husband, but never a grown child. Each pain is different, each day is different. Please know that we are all thinking of you, wishing we could ease your pain. I’m so glad you reached out and posted here where you have connections/memories. Love, hugs, and healing are being sent to you! ❤️🤗🥰💫

Meggie, my heart is broken. I was one of those who had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful Zachary! I still remember that lunch we had in Downtown Disney all those years ago. He was just a boy, but he lit up the room. There really are no words. Other than he was a light, and I always enjoyed reading about the relationship you both had. As the mother of an only son, I can not even imagine. Lots of love and healing peace sent to you.

Meggieprice it speaks volumes about you that you are trying to help others when you are navigating such unspeakable grief. I am going to pass this information on to my dear cousin who lost her only child (a son) in December on his 29th birthday. I cannot imagine a loss so profound. My best thoughts are with you. I hope you know there are many here who are thinking of you and sending you their best thoughts, prayers and hopes that you may find some healing and peace.

Oh Meggie! I cannot stop my tears for you.
I loved Zach (Zachy as he was then)
I spent so much wonderful time with all of you! I remember first meeting at your home and was speechless when Zach stood up! He was young but SO tall! (And I am so short).
He said welcome to Cat Haven.
And all of our times at Disneyland are treasured memories.. Parades, that lemon crush stuff.
We all even napped together at the hotel.
And he was so mature at a young age. I remember one time after a long Disney day (with another left to go) and we said time to leave and Zachy melted down. The three of us adults looked at each other, realizing he WAS young and just acting his age. I know we talked him down, maybe did something more, and by the time I got home, you sent a picture of Zach, who had already fallen asleep. And next day we were back for a new day at Disneyland.
And you guys so into your music too.
So many good memories, but this is crushing.
And your sister, too. I heard so much about her.
💔💔💔
I cannot wrap my head around this and I cannot see through my tears.
I am glad you have found a support place and hope you can find that here, too. I think in time you will be an amazing support for other moms who have suffered this unimaginable loss.
What a loss for our world. He would have been such an amazing nurse because he had such a heart for people.
