on the 26th November my son passed away to stage 4 lung cancer, he was 24 years old, never smoked and was fit and healthy. He last 12 weeks and 3 days from diagnosis. I am truly devastated and heartbroken, this pain is so unbearable, i dont wanna be here anymore, life feels empty, i miss him so much, i dont want to accept that he has gone as the idea of a future without him makes me feel panicky and sick, i just want him back so badly

Its hard, very hard to believe.I lost my son to very treatable non hodgkin’s lymphoma 9 months ago.I get night sweat, cry and when I am alone I shout out his name but he is gone for ever.There is no interest in life left and I keep on thinking life would be amazing if he was alive.
Nights are long and difficult to cope
We are all here to support each other

Nathan’s mum
Its a very difficult time to loose a child.I know its a shock ans shame that people in 70s and 80s managed to survive with stage 4 lung cancer but not youn adults as cancer cells grow very fast in young.I wish if I would have known when he was at early stage but it was too late and even the stem cell transplant did not work.I am sure they are in peace znd not feeling any pain x
The what ifs and self blame are exhausting. I feel in a daze and stretched beyond my coping ability. This is the only real support i have had. I put on a front for my beautiful grandchildren when i am with them but it’s unbearable.
Hello Elizabeth
There are no eords to describe your pain but I understand just like some mothers who lost their child.I had s perfect life snf I used to get scared thinking something bad would happen as everything can’t bd ghat perfect.
I hear you and feel gutted xxxx
There is always a life after storm but different.
Why was he chosen in millions??
Why are we suffering?
What we did wrong

Please reach out.I am here for you.
Sending you a lot of love and strength

To Dear Elizabeth such early days the shock irs such a big trauma no one should suffer loss like this .honestly come on line just chat about anthing .i would be lost without this . Xmas so emotional thinking of you all sending you a hug and a peaceful xmas love zoe 
Thank you Zoe. I do appreciate the support here. I feel like hiding away from the world. I dont want to see people. I just want to sleep.
These are early days.I stayed in my bubble for first three months and just refused seeing people.Every body is different but it helped me a lot as I avoided people talking about him and trying to show their fake sympathy.
Take your time and try some counselling sessions.
We are all going through the same pain unfortunately.
Sending you my love and strength xxx
