I can’t believe that it is almost a year since I lost my son Daniel…I miss him so much, there are no words to express my pain.
Daniel went to sleep and never woke up, after months of waiting for some kind of reason…none was found.
His death certificate states, no cause found.
I don’t know how to explain what I feel, i have so many different emotions, its overwhelming.
Forgive me xx

I lost my son 9 months ago at 31 years old.
I to am struggling with the grief and pain I carry with me everyday.
I reached out to compassionate friends and they have been very helpful and supportive.
You can look them up online and find the nearest person to you.
I hope this helps and I share your dreadful loss.
Take care of yourself
