Not really sure what to put here. I lost my amazing 5 year old little boy unexpectedly on the 3rd February this year. I am in so much pain and finding it hard to even just function.

@Ak1991 I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. I hope you have some support to help you get through everything you’re experiencing right now.
I lost my 2 year old son in September and I can totally understand how you are feeling. I was in a complete daze and couldn’t concentrate on anything. It has improved over the last month or so but I still find it hard to comprehend how different life is now.
Take care of yourself, I’m happy to chat if you feel that would help. Hopefully someone else will reply to offer support and advice too.
Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. I can’t even to begin to imagine how you’re feeling. All I know is you must be destroyed.
It’s going to take time to function. Don’t be hard on yourself. You’ve had a massive disruption to your life. Things are going to take time before you can even start to think straight.
Just take each day as it comes. Put your feelings on here. You’re not alone, even though it will feel like it.
Sending love and hugs 
Thank you i feel completely broken and still in complete shock.

You have taken a big step during your grief by coming on here and reaching out.
I think that shows how strong you are.
The shock will last for I don’t know how long. Nobody can give you a time line. Of course you feel broken, I wouldn’t expect anything else. He was your baby, your child.
Let things happen naturally, don’t force yourself into doing things that make you feel uncomfortable.
Just be kind to yourself and don’t keep your grief inside. Let your feelings out on here. Be true to yourself.
Sending love 
and hugs
