17 weeks ago I lost my son in a motorcycle accident & I was minutes behind him to see the horrific results of the accident- which haunts me every day. He was 27 & loving life. We had done so much together & just took him & my daughter on holiday- which was the best holiday ever. He also worked for me .
I’m finding it harder everyday to get through life without him. Nothing really seems to matter anymore except my daughter & girlfriend. Every Wednesday night I put videos or pictures up on Facebook & try to stay busy but I still cry everyday. Everyone says you will never get over it … just get use to it. I just can’t see myself away being happy again . If I didn’t have my family to look after I know I wouldn’t want to live anymore.
