Child loss

Hello everyone,
3 years ago we lost our darling boy at 10, last week we lost our gorgeous girl age 12. Both of their deaths were very sudden and traumatic involved emergency responses and days on life support before being advised they would not survive.

How on earth do you get through this twice? I’m struggling to find the positives in anything and am dreading the future without them but I have 2 other children so I know I need to keep going for them, I have no choice, I’m just not sure how I even begin to start adjusting to this new life I just live every moment with this constant feeling of dread and impending doom, very bad anxiety, the only time I get any peace is if I manage to fall asleep. I just don’t know how we are ever meant to recover from this.

So sorry to hear your tragic story. Hard to carry on after losing one child. :kissing_heart:

Thank you. Yes it is, and it was only 3 years ago I don’t think we really even begun to start dealing with our grief around that before we’ve been hit again with losing our daughter. I just don’t know how I will ever find the strength to go on really.
