I am so sorry @Theia123 … as awful and terribly difficult as it is, I am struck that it is also a beautiful thing you are doing to continue remembering and honoring your son, honoring and commemorating the unthinkably difficult times you went through … I have flashbacks to our time in the hospital that continue to haunt me as well.
The resources from Alex can be very helpful. I think, for me, it’s about being kind to ourselves, taking care of others or being of service wherever we can, and, maybe most importantly, knowing we are not alone.

With much love and gratitude for your strength … we all get stronger together.

Hi @Theia123
I lost my daughter to a brain tumour 2 years ago, she was 21.
I find I am reliving all those traumatic dates, the diagnosis, being told it was untreatable. I had to tell my baby she was going to die, the shock sent her into her first seizure, when she came round I had to tell her again. How does a mother ever get over that?
How are we supposed to live past our children? I wake each day praying for its end so I can sleep away the pain.
