Dear Zoe,
Lovely to hear from you, i will be thinking of you on the 12th, it will be 5 years on 5th May since we lost Matt, on the 1st july he would also have been celebrating his 28th Birthday, 
not sure Zoe how we managed to get this far but somehow we have, its been such a comfort having support from everyone on this site 
, Matt passed on a Sunday the day before the May day bank hols and this year his anniversary will fall on a Sunday which will be especially hard for us bringing back all those heartbreaking memories of the awful knock at the door, take care lovely and keep Sam safe in your heart pocket hope your lovely daughter and grandchildren are keeping you going much love xxxx

Lovely to hear from you Michelle. Yes, another Mothers day without our beautiful children. I have also been thinking of all friends here. We have walked together, helping each other through dark days and restless nights.
5 years for us too Michelle. We miss them so very much but now i can remember happy days too, which were blocked by grief in the earlier stages of this journey.
Sending love to you and all the wonderful Mothers and Fathers we have met on this site.

Hello Everyone, it is lovely to hear from you all although it is ahead one of those significant events when our loss feels so much harder. I remember the first Mothers Day after I lost Jo 8 years ago. I could hardly breath and I wanted the floor to open and swallow me up. As you say Kate, grief blocked out everything and it is now easier to remember better times. But when I open my eyes each day, The World looks and is a very different place, everything I see is not the same as it once was.
I wish you all a peaceful Mothers Day.
Love Chris x

Hello to everyone on here. Weāve come through another Mothersā Day - all these significant dates are so hard, arenāt they? I donāt know how we keep going, but somehow we do. There is such a huge gap in our lives. We will never stop loving or missing our lost children. Soon, for me, it will be 2 years since Oliver died and sometimes I still canāt believe it. I try to stay strong for the family, but I know they are suffering too. I find social situations very difficult and my energy levels are low. Being a mum was all I ever wanted to be, and I was so lucky to have three beautiful children - losing Oli is so hard to bear. There are no words to describe it.
I wish peace and strength to all of you out there. I donāt post very often, but I do read your messages and know that you are all trying to find your way through this life. We are not alone. Bless you all - Susan J.

Hi Zoe thank you for posting photos of your beautiful boy ā¦ you are in my thoughts.
I read this quote today which resonated with me:
āThere is no crappier but fiercer club than the bereaved parents club. We live between here and there foreverā.
Short but so true xx

Yes Zoe we put on a front but are always screaming on the inside. Who would think life could still feel so wrong after all this time. It feels like Life will never be right again , I canāt adjust , I just feel I am waiting for things to FIT again, to be in the right place, if that makes any sense, but they never will. I feel I will never make sense of anything anymore. Still waiting and hoping one day at a time xxx

Every day is a sad one for grieving parents, but anniversaries are particularly hard.
