Hello @Jacqui49 ,
I’m Seaneen and I can see that you’re new to the community. I hope you find it to be a support to you, but I am so sorry for the loss of your son that brings you here.
We have many members who have sadly lost a child - hopefully someone will be along soon to offer their support. In the meantime, I wanted to share these resources with you that you might find helpful.
- The Compassionate Friends support families who have lost a child of any age. You can call them on 0345 123 2304. They offer in-person support which you might want to explore.
Sue Ryder also has some resources which can help you cope with grief.
- Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief
- Our Grief Coach text service, which sends you personalised text support via SMS
- Our free Online Bereavement Counselling which is held via video chat
- Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.
There is a long-running and supportive thread for parents which you might want to have a read of - it’s called, Loss of our son aged 27 and you can go to it by clicking the link.
Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.
