Looks like life hit Sylvester Stallone pretty hard. My condolences. Losing a child, even an adult child, must be the worst feeling ever.

My "child" turned 29 yesterday. He's an adult, runs a business, yada yada. He's still my child, my only son. His death would devastate me beyond description. I guess what I'm trying to say is adding "even an adult child" is not needed. Losing a child must be the worst feeling ever. Condolences to the Stallone family.

I disagree.

If I knew I allowed my child to go on a trip with Jerry Sandusky might be worse.

I watched my aunt and uncle lose their daughter (22 at the time) about 15 years ago and they've never even come close to getting over it.

Sly and his family are in my prayers.

RIP.

I had a friend who lost her son, then her husband and on the day prior to her husband's funeral, got a call from the doctor who said her tests results were in.....the spot on her brain was a tumor. All of this within a year.

My apologies. I didn't mean "even an adult child" as something that would lessen the sting. Of course it doesn't.

Jesus. My pity party just came crashing to a halt.

I'm so sorry for your friend.

No apology needed, I know you didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to be clear. A child is a child even when they aren't.

I never thought I would spend a moment thinking about "Sage Stallone" but I certainly have today.

This day is my son's birthday. A milestone birthday at that. The cool, eager-to-please kid is fading with each passing day... slowly replaced by a curious young man who doesn't accept everything I say without question anymore.

I try not to think about what it would be like to bury a child -- but, in our business, we see it all the time. Doesn't make it any easier and those are the only stories (the death of a child) that plague my dreams.

Prayers to anyone on this board who has experienced this.

The latest is he had been dead for three or four days when he was found by a housekeeper. Eek.

Trust me, it is.

I guess he was...Expendable.

It was gut-wrenching, one of those times in life I ask God "what the hell?" as if Job needs a rewrite. She's come through it and the cancer is in remission. There is no other peer in terms of her strength that I've seen.

Excuse me, but was that some attempt at humor?

A man died. Someone's son. Someone's friend.

I find nothing funny in that.

RIP

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

No ****, KJIM. I could live 1,000 years and not understand why the **** someone would post something like that.

 

[imjustagirl]

In defense, every person who dies is someone's son. And someone's friend.

And it takes less than a page to start making puns on 90 percent of those.

I don't agree with it, but is it because Sage wasn't "famous" enough to be the brunt of jokes?

Good gosh that was uncalled for.

My mother died at 63. Her mother, who was still alive and very sharp at 97, seemed to be bearing up fairly well. But then at the funeral, she broke down. She said, "you're just never supposed to bury your own child."

My father lost two brothers: one shot down over France in 1944, the other dying at age 22 just after coming home from Korea, before I was born, so I never knew them. My grandmother could never talk about them.

There's no expiration date.

my folks lost one of two sons when they were in their 20s when he was 8. neither were ever able to move on afterward. that **** is all too real to me. i pray i go before either one of my children.

I agree, maybe there should be some sort of list of who it's ok to make fun of and who it's not ok to make fun of.
