My son Dan died on 15th November aged 33. It was sudden and unexpected.
At first I cried all day every day and felt I was losing my mind. I know now what it feels to be mad with grief.
Sunday I didn’t cry and felt calm. As I am sitting here now the pain is as raw as those first few minutes. I want to lie down and never wake up.
If one more person says it’s early days and it will take time I swear I will punch them. I can’t fast forward time. I have no choice but to live it minute by minute.
I was shocked when I realised how many children die every day.
I feel your pain and wish I could hug you and take the hurt away.

We’re all in this nightmare journey together. I suppose until it’s happened to you, you never consider how many other parents lose their adult children.
My son’s death was also sudden and unexpected and his friend found him at his home.
I hate the fact that he was alone, and also that we still don’t have answers as to why.

I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. I lost my son on 3rd July 2024 and I understand your feeling of total loss as I am still feeling that after 6 months.
I’ve gained support from close family and friends who were also suffering in their own way.
I have found that it’s important to keep talking , don’t keep your feelings inside .
Maybe contact the help line on this site to speak to somebody and which may be able to guide you to sources of information and support to help you navigate your grief . There are also other groups who offer bereavement counselling , maybe your local bereavement service.
I have found that my feelings change day to day and it’s gaining understanding that this is normal and finding ways to cope .
I hope you are able to find some ways to deal with this very difficult time . Sending love and hugs
I too lost my son Danny aged 29 to SUDEP an epilepsy sudden death.There is no explanation and the suddenness has ripped my world apart.My purpose in life after my husband died of alcoholism was to keep Danny safe.I failed him.
I don’t know how I have managed to get through the past 7 months but the pain continues.I think torturing myself and not looking after me is my way of punishing myself because he is dead.It won’t get better I know that,I may learn to live without him but at the moment my dogs are keeping me going.

Keeping busy, seeing good friends and talking about him has helped me. I lost my baby and best friend, Will, of 33 years in May and I am completely broken. I am having therapy, but so far it hasn’t helped. He was going to be married six weeks later and had exciting career prospects. My first grief is what he’s lost then what I’ve lost. Sending big hugs to all the lost mums out there
