Hey all.

1st time here.
Lost my son, 33, to Covid in '21.
This Xmas…this year…has hit hard. Feels like grief has suddenly gone off…like a bomb. I think i kind of just ‘carried on’ the last 3 years. Now i feel…numb…lost…and i just want to be with my son…

I am so very sorry to read your post. We lost our son aged 33 at the end of November. Today is my 70th birthday and it is absolutely meaningless. I would have given up my life in order for him to live.

It’s such an un-bearable loss…but we are expected to carry on.
Sorry for your loss, lovely. Best wishes for you birthday. X

I too would like to be with my son, but there are other members of the family to consider. It doesn’t sound like it gets any easier. You poor thing.

I’m soo sorry for your loss
I lost my daughter 9 months ago to cancer and everyday is hard. I miss her soo much. Everyday is a struggle. But this time of year is especially difficult and I don’t even celebrate Christmas. Seeing all the adverts and pressure everywhere about people being with their loved ones when u have lost urs is hard. But there is nothing we can do. We miss them because they were special and they were loved. Acknowledging ur life will never be the same I guess is the first step. Be kind to urself. Once Christmas is over it will be new year and then hopefully it will get back to normal and u can do whatever u normally do that helps if anything. Sending u a big hug.
