I thought I was coping well, but lately it’s all I can think about. How can he be gone forever? I have 10 grandchildren and a daughter…I should be thankful I have them but I can’t seem to rise above the sorrow this time. I am just so lost between one foot here and wanting to be with him.

Losing a child is the hardest experience we can go through and I felt like this after losing my beautiful girl. We do feel such a continuing bind with all our children.
I’m sure you have had a lot of advice but try to take one day at a time. I too have other children and grandchildren so I try to focus on them. Try and keep posting on here as it has been a lifeline for me as this is a space where people understand your grief xxx
Yes, I agree, I have a grandson, I’m typing this very quickly, so you realise anxious extremes stupid impulsive thinking is very dangerous. I’ve been there. Please take a moment.
