Losing a child

I lost my 43-year old son this past September and I feel lost, angry and sad. Trying to answer the question why I am still here?

Hi Larry, I lost my son in Jan 2023 and I ask myself the same questions. All of us on here know what you’re going through. It’s an awful pain we all share but we help each other through this difficult process. Take it a day, an hour or a minute at a time.

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words. Taking it day by day. Good advice. Sometimes tough to do.

Hi Larry, I lost my son recently. He was found on 6th March but could have died much sooner. I’m 80 and still haven’t been able to accept I’ll never see him again.

Hi Scotsgranny - My heartfelt sympathy to you and everyone suffering the loss of their child. My son died suddenly on 6th March this year too and am finding it so hard knowing he will never again walk in the door. (I’m around the same age as you too).
