Loss of our son aged 27

Oh Sue, 2 months is such a short time. You are doing so well.
Keep posting, we are always here.

Much love, Kate xx

Dear Sue, I think we all deal with bereavement so differently. It is lovely that you listen to Andrew’s messages. I wish I could listen to Gemma’s but I am so scared of being plunged into that deep black hole again. I do talk to her though. Sometimes I feel now as though I am skating on the surface of my life xxx

Yes it makes sense Victoria.
My photos mean Katherine won’t disappear, but I worry about losing the sound of her voice, which is why I wish I had more vids.
I can think of her and be ok, but talking about her to someone else, writing about her brings the tears, I don’t know why. But it’s all new to me.

I can always remember Gemma’s voice and can think of it in an instant. A few weeks after we lost her, I was completely distraught and said out loud ‘Gemma where are you’? Immediately I heard her say ‘I’m here Mum’. It makes me cry now to remember that moment and I can’t explain it. Life is v hard xxx

But so good to know she was with you.

I remember Kate saying how Brooke asked Lisa to help her find things. My Kath was always good at that, and I’ve asked her a couple of times to help me. Once we were looking for some ornamental birds that were in the trees in the garden. We searched high and low for days, literally days, then I asked Kath to find them and she took me straight to them.

Dear lovely friends :heart:
Yes we are all different and we have to navigate this journey and do what is right for us, something that brings one of us great comfort could destroy another and set them right back :broken_heart: for me personally like Kate I have been reading all Matt’s messages over and over, from the early days it was every night as I felt he was still with me, I did this for months but now I do it when I need to if you know what I mean, I love to be surrounded by his photos but as our girls still live at home I am always guided by their feelings and they say they love it as it brings them comfort, we feel his presence all around us, there is no wrong or right way to grieve but I feel it helps to hear what others do to get through each day, as that’s all we are doing trying to get through 1 day at a time :heart::pray:
Love to all :heart: from Michelle xxxx

Good morning all . Yeah it’s funny reading the messages gave me some pain but also some comfort. For a moment I thought I had deleted the messages and I panicked, so I will never get rid of them and someday go back and read them when I’m in a better place.

Waves of grieve hitting hard today. I’m thinking it’s because I read those old text messages last night. Not a good day so far. :worried:

Hope you are alright Zoe, I can only imagine how much you are struggling at the moment . As I am to, and thinking of you . Every time I see the Lloyd’s commercial on the tv it makes me smile thinking of your Sam, it somehow lifts me a bit as it must you. We will always have so much love for our boys and our hearts are broken with this unrelenting pain, but we must get through some how, one day at a time.
Sending much love , we all care about you here Zoe , hope you are ok . Hugs jss xxx

Hope you are OK Zoe. It’s so hard sometimes my darling.

Following on from my posts about where and when I see my old car which I gave to Lisa. Today was weird westherwise, like what we would expect in April. It had been warm and sunny and I popped down to Tesco this morning .
When I came out it was like a different world! Blowing a gale and rain horizontal. Just for a few minutes but weird. So I got the shopping in the boot, jumped in to my car and there it was, opposite, nose to nose, my old car. I thought, omg Lisa, are you here?
Some things we can’t explain but I am sure our children are always sending us signs that they are beside us.

Love to you. Kate xx
