My son Dan died suddenly on the 15/08 and we don’t know why yet. I feel that I am living in a nightmare that I’m never going to get out of. The pain of grief is overwhelming me and I don’t know how I can get back to any kind of normal life. I was very close to Dan and I miss him terribly.
Gin,
I am so incredibly sorry to hear that your son Dan died suddenly in August. I can’t begin to imagine what you’re going through, but please know that you’re not alone here.
Keep talking to us as long as it helps and don’t hesitate to let me know if there’s anything I can do to support you.
Take care,
Eleanor
Hi
The pain you will be feeling right now is indescribable, this I know as I lost my son Tyler on 13.03.2018 a day I would give my life to have never happened. The lack of understanding as to why can consume you, the only thing that in anyway not helped but made things manageable for me was talking to him, his friends and other family. Talking about the things we did together the love and laughter we shared. Know that pain inside is love the deep undeniable love you HAVE for your son nothing can take this away treasure it. Someone told me to picture Tyler from head to toe describe all the bits of him scars bumps and bruises and take that and put it in a place within you and keep it there and when you touch that part of you know your touching him. Spend time with him now visiting him and talking and holding him. That first visit will hurt like hell but push through as now I look back and am so grateful for that time. I even told him off for leaving me.
You can’t fix this but you can get through this just a bit at a time.
If you need to talk I’m here. I would love to know about your son. We are the lucky ones we have years of memories.

I have a similar situation Luke died abroad in an accident on the 5/08 it is a nightmare for sure and its a lonely place to be. I try to think that my son was a gift even though it was cut short, I also like to think hes continuing his journey somewhere else. I think it is a painfully slow process , I hope you have lots of support.
