I am so sorry for the loss of your son. How long ago did this happen? We lost our 33 year old son in November and for the first couple of weeks, we were numb with shock. The tears came later and I still cry throughout the day and night. I am feeling huge guilt. He thought he had long covid but we now suspect it was heart problems. I feel I should have realised this from the symptoms he had and that I should have persuaded him to go back to the doctor. I don’t feel I can ever forgive myself. Sending you a virtual hug.
Hi. My son passed away 29th nov last year. He laft 2 littke girls aged 3 &4. Which i am finding difficult to see them. I blame his girlfriend and myself. I should of taken him out of the situation he was in. It was the stress that was the main cause of his tumour.

So sad to hear this. It is always difficult when there are family problems alongside the terrible grief.
