I lost my son 2 1/2 years ago and I still feel like I had my heart ripped out, all I can say is it’s not all day every day anymore, little by little you let life back into your world and other thoughts take over for a while during the day. It never goes away but those other thoughts get longer and more frequent and life does eventually go on. Remember good times everyone said ! I did eventually but it takes time and tears.
Hope this helps a little. Sending hugs

Hi @Joe2 . I just wanted to say how sorry I am for the loss of your son. I lost my youngest son on Christmas Eve. I found the first few weeks after the funeral the hardest as all the organising for the funeral and calls to let people know kept me busy. I have an older son who keeps me going and is my reason for getting through each day. We talk about his brother and share memories - good and bad!
I am working which is a distraction and I have days when I can get through them without crying. I found talking on here those first few months helped as there are others going through the same and I didn’t feel like I was the only one.
My youngest son is always in my thoughts and always will be.One day at a time is my mantra 
Sending hugs to you all xx

I lost my son six weeks ago. It’s hard. I cry everyday but find it attached release. I find its okay to be sad and normal. I miss his presence though and have found keeping a memory box helps. Spraying his scarf with his after shave. He always smelt so nice. Be kind to yourself.

Sorry you’re going through this too and sending you hugs . It’s surreal at times but we do what we can to get through each day. A.memory box is a lovely idea.My son’s jacket is hanging up on the door where he left it and I spray his aftershave on it xx
I lost my son 2 months ago, I have his wallet and I keep my banking cards in there now. Everytime I pay for something I can stroke his wallet and remember him. It feels like a small connection with him.

Hi, im am so sorry for your loss.
I can relate to you. i lost my beautiful grandson 5 weeks ago, and it’s the most horrific thing, imaginable.
He also had three siblings.
There is nothing i can say that will help you. I just wanted to reach out and let you know your not alone. The death of a child is devastating .
Sending love
