Dear Zoe, my heart breaks for you as it does for everyone here. It is very early days for you and I promise you the pain does get easier somehow. I was a mess for 6 months after I lost Gemma, but somehow I calmed down and even felt a kind of peace some days.
I still have my bad days and my very sad days when I am so tearful but they become less frequent. Wishing you peace. Much love to you xxx

Hi Zoe , I am here in my bedroom with photos all around of my son , a candle burning by one that’s next to his ashes which are not going anywhere until I go to. I to have been going through the last weeks and the day it happened all the time thinking of things I should have noticed, done differently . The more I keep thinking the more I find to beat myself up about. I know your situation was different you and he knew what was happening. He was being so very brave but It all must have been so difficult for you both to deal with.
I went to town yesterday and so many people seemed impatient and bad tempered , and I just thought “ you haven’t got a clue how lucky you are” but maybe they have their own problems.
I have a key ring with a photo of my son in it , have you thought of doing that . It’s there in my bag and with me when ever I go out , would your partner object to that do you think?
Love jss xx

Hello Zoe and all of us on here,

I have been reading all the posts, and thinking of you all and yes they did have their whole lives ahead of them. Sam was like Scott loved going out with his mates. he also went off travelling where he met Mathilda, he worked his way around Australia, Thailand, Cambodia Malaysia, and most of Europe.

I miss him so much, Im sat here now writing this and I have Sam’s glasses on they are a lot clearer than mine.
Love
Helen

This was taken in September 2012 when we went to see Sam and Mathilda, they lived in Btomma on the outskirts of Stockholm, in the November he came home to tell me he had been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Fabulous photo Helen, a wonderful memory to be cherished. On the other hand, we think of what should be and can’t be. It seems every memory has two aspects. On the one hand happiness, love and pride while the other sadness, sorrow and anger.
Grief is the price we pay for love :heart:

Thinking of everyone
Love Chris xx

Those words are so true Chris, we should appreciate true happiness whilst we have it and not when it’s to late.Unfortunatly our downfall is that we take to much for granted. xxx
