Lost my child this week

My son, Sam, died on Saturday suddenly after a complex blood disorder. My whole world has turned upside down. Sam was my everything, my inspiration. He was always positive, kind, happy …Everyone has said what a wonderful young man he was (22)… I am completely and utterly devastated. I have a wife and 18 year old daughter.

Hi @Oreothecat

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely photo of your son, Sam - I’m so sorry to hear that he died on Saturday.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I just wanted to let you know that you have been heard and you are not alone :blue_heart:

Take good care,

Naoise

Oreothecat,
What a Beautiful picture of your son Sam and I am truly deeply sorry for the loss of such a lovely young man.
Words can’t describe the pain at the moment and the complete and utter shock of losing your beloved boy.
I lost my son in November and I am still in the early stages of grief.
Please know that you are not alone and people on this site will understand exactly how you feel at this moment and can help with kind words and advice to help you through this absolutely traumatic period.
My heart goes out to you and your family xx

What a lovely smiley pic. I,m so sorry to hear you,ve lost your beloved Son. I lost my 35 year old Son 5 weeks ago (and his Dad, my husband of 38 years 6 months ago), I have no other children or family now. The heartbreak of loosing a child is a pain like no other, 5 weeks on and I still cry everyday and I feel physically sick with emptiness and loneliness, we were v close and spoke every day throughout the day, I literally feel like my heart has been ripped from me. Everyone says in time it will get easier, tho the loss and pain will never go but that you will learn to live with it, it won’t feel as raw and you,ll be happy again. Memories that bring tears now will bring smiles in the future. I think all we can do is take one day at a time, there,s no time limit on grief and one day the world will seem a little brighter again. My thghts are with you and your family.
