Slavic:

Always remember that the routine things in life that you used to do cannot be ignored... do not let yourself stop living when your beloved child passes away. Grieving is very important, but so is progress. I am happy to see you are seeing a counselor, its an important first step into healing yourself and your family.

I've never met you or your son, but his picture will stay with me always. Thank you for sharing his image in this very tough time of your life.

As for poker... if it was a part of your every day routine, then find a way to bring it back into your life at your own pace. Children adapt very well to routines, your son would not have wanted you to change.

My heart goes out to you and your family...

Oh [censored]. I feel your pain.

Only time can heal that kind of massive scar. You'll be wasting your money and focus playing poker right now, regardless of the limit... and I doubt you'll feel good about it, or feel as if it's a break from the pain. I'm amazed you could even sit at a table- I'm sure I couldn't

If you can, take at least the rest of the year off (make it January also- the holiday is going to be its own special hell, sorry to say) and then see if you miss it. DON'T link poker and your son's death- they aren't connected in any way.

EDIT- Maybe a regular job short-term, to cover the family expenses? I just reread the part about it being your sole income. You can't play scared or lower limits, you'll just throw more money down the hole. That will just compound your problems.

Horrible beat. My best to you and your family, hopefully you can fight through this. This sounds tacky to type, but I'm sure Austin would have been upset that you all were unhappy.

Good luck.

What do you know about being a man?

You're an idiot. Go away.
