I’m 63 and have just lost my son he had an unexpected and sudden heart attack and died 7.3.2025 while playing football - he was running then stopped and dropped. He was only 44 and leaves his wife and my 3 year old granddaughter he absolutely doted on and spent so much time with her. Making her laugh, acting silly, giving lots of cuddles and usually looked after her at bedtimes and through the night. I’m devastated.

Sending love to you i lost my 35 year old son 12 weeks ago he left a 6 year old daughter and 3 year old son.
My whole world fell apart that day, and as each day goes by i feel further away from him.
I miss him more than words can say. Xx

I’m so sorry to hear about your son who you obviously adored, bless you. I hope you are getting support from family and friends. This little space is somewhere for me to go. I can’t give you any words of advice because I can’t seem to find any, I don’t think there are any. Thinking of you. x

PS I feel like I’m not actually me writing, it’s as if a robot has taken over me to allow me to function apart from the times in the day where I breakdown and sob and sob. Can’t write anymore at the minute. x

I lost my beautiful son James 7 months ago aged 31 due to Sudep, it was sudden and unexpected although nothing would have prepared me for such loss and the enormous heartache that i now carry. It takes such courage to navigate your way through grief. There is no way to explain what has happened and no words to describe the unspeakable pain that now surrounds us. I continue to struggle on this lonely path trying to find my place in a life with such a huge part of my heart missing.
I relive scenarios everyday that could have saved James, no scenario could have saved him. I have relived them all. It causes such pain and doesn’t change a thing. I know you will do it too. I send my love and strength to tell you its not your fault.
James dies alone, it haunts me every minute of every day but he was adored for 31 years and still is.
My heart aches for him but still continues to beat in his glorious honour.
Its so hard. I send you all my love xx

So sorry for your tragic loss.
I am further down the line at having lost my 27 year old son aug 23 of SAD.
I too feel like I am living someone else’s life - strange I know but it’s the new norm.
Talk to him every day (his photo) or when walking my dogs. Feel he is with me always as we had so much love.
Take care and keep talking - it helps x

As we start another week i feel its taking me a step further away from my precious son. He lived for his children and he worrird about me. Life is cruel to take a son from his mother or daughter. There are so many unanswered questions i want answers to . I miss my boy so very much i just want him back
