Oh Helen , I can relate to you so much with what you went through with Sam. Dawn was in hospital early 2016?she was quite poorly We were alll suposed to be going to Florida, she overheard me talking to the the nurse and told her will not be going .But she looked up and said mum just gon. We did , and we were in contact with here every day ion hospitals. The first thing we did when 
we got back was to go to the hospital , and although she looked terrible, she did recoverv:bullettrain_side:welll the rest of 2016 she did look so well . But by December that is when she went downhill . And Dec 11thbis a day I will never ever forget . Maddie xxxx

I have been reflecting this evening after reading your messages. Although we have been through the most terrible times losing our children, we are lucky to have found one another and that is possible because of the internet. I can’t imagine how life would be for us without that. We would all be so much more isolated.
Sending much love to you all xxx

Yes Victoria , and we would be thinking there was something wrong with us to be feeling all these awful emotions. I would anyway, I had no idea grief could be so bad. I thought I was going mad, well I think it is a kind of madness. Have experienced grief many times, family members and friends , but the loss of a child, that’s a whole different level . Unfathomable unless you have experienced it.

Hi all, the next few days are going to be tough, we are flying out to Amsterdam where my son had his flat . He passed away just over 3 months ago. We’ll have to self isolate for at least 5 days. My wife and I are going to clear all of his belongings, and try and sell the furniture, the flat will then be put up for sale. It’s soul destroying having to do this and there will be many tears shed . My son worked really hard to buy his first flat and now in a blink of an eye it will be gone . We are truly devastated, no parent should have to go through this, life is very cruel.

Dear Bluebird, such hard days for you flying to your son’s flat. We too had to empty my daughters house and it is not easy. So many memories. Doing it from a such a distance will be tough and I hope you can find someone to help.
Some items will bring back particular memories which is hard. Maybe you could take photos of some of his things that you can not bring back straight away?
I have a large trunk of Gemma’s bits and pieces, special things that I could not part with.
Try and take some breaks so it is not too overwhelming and remember you will always have your memories of your son. You are both in our thoughts and prayers especially over the next few days. Much love to you both xxx

Hi Pete, It’s an extremely difficult and emotional task you have in front of you, made extremely worse by the fact that that it’s in another country…Christian lived only half an hours drive from us so we knew the area well,…apart from a few items which we kept the majority we gave to a homeless foundation which we knew were one of Christians charities… his personal possession’s and clothes came home with us.,so unlike yourself it was relatively easy for us but extremely emotional
You say life can be cruel,thats true, but you will find the strength to cope
Thinking of you both…With love Marina xxx
