Has the word "closure" taken on a different meaning today?
I hear people needing closure about things happening in their life. A child is killed, perp brought to justice thus creating closure.How does closure fit in with the child gone forever. Body is found thus closure is once again applied.Will you forever wonder what they went through before death or will you have closure? Closure means letting go and forgetting. My son died and for 8 months I was told "When you get the full autopsy report you will find closure" What??? It was found he had a blood clot in his heart. I am still not in the closure phase nor will I ever be. So when does the closure thing happen in most situations. Do I smile and say I have closure now altho I will never see my son again?
I know people may get answers to situations but not closure

I am so sorry for your loss.
I hope no one thinks you will ever forget or stop loving and missing your son. I also hope the autopsy results took away any guilt you may have felt about what happened and, if you have other children, relieved the anxiety of the same happening to them. If you haven't, you might want to read The Grief Recovery Handbook, or do a course that follows it, to help you "complete" (I don't think they use the term "closure") your relationship with your son. They also mention wrong/unhelpful things other people may say. I found it quite helpful, even though my daughter didn't die (she had cancer).
